• “The first one to come pester me for an autograph was the elephant. Her hair hadn’t yet dried from her time in the bath... What a burdensome elephant.
• “Next to come was the fox. She made up some excuse to come again. How annoying. Well I’ve signed my autograph, so hurry up and leave!”
• “Last one to come was a low-EQ rat. I’ll make short work of the autograph and have her leave quickly! “How bothersome, she’s still here. Oh no… I’m getting sleepy… What should I do?””

Testimony

• Vic was in room 205. The door opened outward, and did not auto lock.
• Suspects never saw each other at the time.
• Mitsui Tananmi seen leaving the victims room with a pale face and agitated. Mitsui Tanami claimed to have an upset stomach, wanted to use the vic's bathroom, but not allowed to because the vic was planning on using it herself. Vic took her time signing Mitsui's book to hassle her. Mitsui says the vic just came back from the onsen, and thus that she was going to take a bath was a lie because her slippers were warm and soaking. Nihei Sumika says the slippers weren't wet or warm on her visit. Yuchi Shinobu may have the same observation as Nihei Sumika.

Crime Scene

(copy paste job)
Isao received a mail message from his sister saying, “Goodbye” and thought it strange so he went to knock on her door but there was no reply. Having no choice, he went to her balcony, broke the window, and entered his sister’s room. To find that it had been enshrouded in steam. He testified that he found his sister in the bathroom with her slit wrist(s) submerged in the bathtub, holding tightly onto the room key and cell phone, and her breathing becoming faint. Of course, the room didn’t have an auto-lock door. After Isao found his sister passed out, he called an ambulance. It was right then that he heard a “piki” sound. So Isao went to the window to take a look and saw that some small glass fragments were on the balcony on the outside of the window. Isao believes it was proof the culprit had hidden somewhere in the room and snuck out from that broken window while Isao was busy in the bathroom. There were bloody handprint marking on the bathmat there in front of the bathroom door, believed to be from the victim resisting after her wrists slit by the culprit in the bathroom.
