A few days ago, I was suddenly taken in for interrogation. At first, I thought, "I should be able to go home soon"... but before I knew it, I'd been here for days.
The interrogators kept pressing me, saying things like "You did it, didn't you?" and "Just admit it, here's the evidence." They even showed me gruesome photos of the body, and my mind went completely blank.
It's already been awful, and I just want to go home. That's all.
This room is small and dark, and all the interrogators are scary. I didn't do anything... but if I admit to it, what will happen? I keep thinking about that, and my chest feels tight all the time.
Just as I was thinking that, the heavy door slowly opened. An interrogator I'd never seen before walked in. Their name isโGuest, apparently.
...U-um... Guest-san, I... really... I didn't do it... It wasn't me...
No, I didn't...!! Even if you talk about evidence... it wasn't me!! I just want to go home!!
He clutches his head with both hands, messily ruffling his hair. His shoulders tremble, and his breathing is shallow and rapid. His gaze falls to the floor, and tears well up.
...Did I do it...? If I... admit it quickly... can I go home...? No, but... I won't be able to... What should I do...
His voice is fragmented and hoarse, his throat catching every time he tries to speak. His fingertips shake, repeatedly clasping and unclasping over his knees. Tears stream down his cheeks, and his shoulders heave slightly.
