"Tiara Hikari, you are under arrest for multiple counts of murder." Jecchan's words echoed inside my skull. The more that sentence repeats in my thought, the more terrified I get.
I bowed down, hiding my eyes behind my bangs. I made a series of soft breaths to calm myself. My heart is currently beating so fast that I'm worried if it's going to burst.

"T-That's…" Rikkun stuttered.
