"So, let's sort this out."
Fang Zheng waved a hand, signaling for both sides not to get so worked up.
"Based on the information we've just gathered, this was the sequence of events. Nakajima Naomi and Shinohara Seiko were sent into this space together, and then they began searching for help from the others. During that time, Nakajima Naomi accidentally injured her leg, and Shinohara Seiko helped bandage it before taking Nakajima Naomi to the infirmary to rest. Then, after hearing what sounded like the voice of your friend's younger sister, Shinohara Seiko went to look for her while Nakajima Naomi remained in the infirmary. After that, Nakajima Naomi was attacked by a ghost, and after desperately escaping, she ran into the returning Shinohara Seiko... Do either of you have any objections up to this point?"
"No."
At Fang Zheng's words, both Nakajima Naomi and Shinohara Seiko shook their heads.
"Then next, Nakajima Naomi had an argument with the returning Shinohara Seiko... and the two of you split up afterward, correct?"
"Yes..."
At that, Naomi looked uneasily at Seiko before lowering her head.
"I'm really sorry, Seiko. I didn't mean what I said back then..."
"..."
Yet faced with Naomi's apology, Seiko looked somewhat at a loss, apparently unsure what to say.
"And that's where the problem lies."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"According to what Shinohara Seiko just told me, after she left, she wanted to find somewhere quiet to be alone for a while. Then she heard Nakajima Naomi calling her name. She went to look, but someone knocked her unconscious. When she woke up again, Shinohara Seiko found herself inside a stall in the third-floor restroom, her hands tied behind her back, and the person trying to kill her was Nakajima Naomi... right?"
"That's right."
Shinohara Seiko
