[ when tatsuma admits that he doesn't know, there seems to be a collective groan among the students. some of them feel like it's a useless piece of evidence while others are firm in their belief that their faceless classmate was the murderer. however, naegi nods in agreement with tatsuma ]
Let's go over the evidence and everyone's alibi one more time. We might have missed something.
[ naegi doesn't think it hurts to go over everything more carefully. their lives depend on this, right? plus, it's been bothering him as well. they shouldn't rush over this ]
[W-well, let's not be too hasty now, interjects a fluffy-haired student. There are many people here, it's doubtful Akiko's the only one who could have taken a candy...]
Did, um... anyone find a candy laying around?
[Discarded in the trash, or smashed underfoot, or otherwise uneaten?]
"What? You mean some wrapped up? Are you getting hungry?"
"He obviously means unwrapped, you idiot."
"Hey, yeah, now that I fucking think about it! Some asshole left a piece of that durian flavour gummy shit on the hallway floor. My shoe smelt like fucking death until I had to go wash it off!"
"Haha, that's what you get for not looking where you're going."
"Shut the fuck up!"
[ naegi remains quiet during all this banter and looks over to tatsuma silently. is this the type of evidence that you need? ]
[ the student crosses his arms and tilts his head to the side, his voice calm but with a strange... edge to it ]
"That surely can't be your only piece of evidence to suspect me, is it? Everyone knows what my talent is. It should be easy to create some origami and plant it at the scene to pin it on me."
no subject
[That's the part that doesn't make any sense.]
It's really suspicious, isn't it...? They tried to clean up a little.
no subject
"Then all right. Who does it belong to?"
no subject
[Bluntly.]
But... we should figure that out, right? 'Cause we don't know who's it is...

[Man though, talking so much is rough. Umm...]
The crane is... made of a wrapper, right?
no subject
"Are you suggesting that whoever made it had some sort of sweet tooth?"
no subject
[That, he says pretty certainly.]
It's someone who had wrappers with them.
no subject
... Akiko, don't you normally have a lot of candy with you at all times?
[ just pulls a "random" name out of my ass :') ]
no subject
Akiko looks surprised by this accusation. Umm... yes? They're free in the kitchen, so...]
Have you ever seen anyone else try them?
[The flavors are pretty weird ones, if he remembers right.]
no subject
"Are you kidding me? Who the fuck wants to try those?"
"T-The flavors were too strong for me... Um, i-it was like... meat and hot pepper..."

He looks between Akiko and the other students causing the fuss, expression serious.]
You... got in an argument with Akiko the other day, didn't you?
[The dream fills in the blanks for him - this is the super high school level origami artist.]
no subject
"Hm... yes, perhaps I did but what does that have to do with the case?"
no subject
But if someone just took the wrapper, they were probably trying to... frame her.

[He can feel it in his gut. For all his cool and collected behavior, something is definitely up with the Origami
killerstudent. But...]There was... origami left behind.

Don't you usually carry around origami?
