Mahiru's murder has just taken place. You all had gathered, the room mostly silent, besides Hiyoko's constant yelling. Things like: 'I'll find whoever did this!', 'why would you kill Mahiru, of all people?'. At least that's what you think she was saying... She was annoying, you couldn't force yourself to listen even if you had to.

Someone tugged on the sleeve of your shirt as the people started to investigate, clearing out of the room. When you looked up, you met the gaze of none other than Nagito. He looked normally calm today. Maybe even happier than just relaxed.

"I know it's kind of out of place for me to ask you this, but... Would you like to join me in investigating this time?" he asked, his raspy voice just radiating the small smirk that graced his lips.

You wanted to turn him down. But... you may secure an alibi with him around, since he's rather smart with observing and smooth with talking. Besides, he's never acted on his violent thoughts. Besides with Byakuya, but he did mention he wanted to get the ball rolling. Though, you were still wary for your life here. He could very well have ulterior motives.

He held out a fist, noticing your hesitation. This was one of his ways of making friends without rambling about the concept of hope and hope itself.
