Riley Ross

Uh oh. Am I going to be caught now? In front of Sister—again? I got away last time, but if they’re here again, that must mean they have something more concrete. Maybe they found something from the Illicit Lovers? But that’s impossible... I researched this. Telekinetic murders are the hardest to solve—they leave no evidence. The only traces would be from her... Tomoe. But Tomoe didn’t kill them. I did.

Would they arrest her instead of me? Would that mean... I framed her? But... that is illegal.

Riley was the one with a storm of thoughts spinning in his mind, yet among all the students present—he looked the calmest. The rest craned their necks, straining to catch even a whisper from the instructors and detectives.

And of course, the most invested were the members of the Baby Crew. How could they not be, when—

"...Are they here to interrogate our snowy boy again?" Bella narrowed her eyes, her neck almost stretching more than it should as she did her best to eavesdrop even just a single word.

"S-shit..." Gary’s face was now a complete mess. He was just crying from Spectacular Mustache Man’s speech, but then his speech turned into a rant, and now the police were here, "Could it be... Riley actually killed that pedo?"

"Do you want me to kill you?" Hannah quickly raised an eyebrow at Gary.

"Y-you know, guys..." Pauline whispered, "...Is it just me, or does it feel like time’s moving so slow? They only interrogated Riley yesterday, and yet it feels like a lot of things have already happened."

"Well..." Victoria squinted her eyes at Bulwark and the others, "...as they say, time moves slow when you’re with friends?"
