YOUR ROLE IN A MURDER INVESTIGATION : THE BEST FRIEND
you told them and told them to be careful. now they've gone and gotten themselves killed and you have no one to blame but yourself. in your bed at night do you replay everything you said or did wrong? of course. because you should be perfect. you have to be. the specters wrap themselves around your lungs so tight you can't breathe and you turn your music down low as if that would help you see better. down, downing, drowning. lips blue, gasping for breath. the weight of your sins is heavy. you are not the killer that they are looking for, no, no, but you are a murderer all the same. the only place for you is hell.

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart.

I really enjoy just existing in hotels. The long identical hallways. The soulless abstract art. The weird noises the air-conditioner makes. Strange city lights in the window. Six stories off the ground. Strangers chatting in the hall. Nothing in the dresser. No past, but an infinite present.

misc shuichi headcanons i’ve been thinking abt :
• shuichi typically skips breakfast, as they often stay up late into the night and get odd snacks when they're up . their sleep schedule is all over the place , and it isn’t uncommon for them to doze off during the daytime ( although they try to avoid sleeping in class ) .
• shuichi can’t ride a bike . fool .
• shuichi took acting classes as a kid at their parents insistence , but shuichi often struggled with it . they know the basics & fundementals of acting , but they aren't good at executing them . it could be forgetting a line , or at worse vomiting due to stress (the pressure of so many people looking at you and counting on you not to fuck up, etc) . it’s like knowing how to parallel park in theory and being able to explain it to someone , but being unable to do it yourself .
• shuichi doesn't really like to talk about their 'famous parents .' it's something they won't voluntarily bring up , & if it is brought up they'll often try to change the topic or just outright ignore it . they consider their uncle to be more of a parental figure than their actual parents . they’re distant from their parents and rarely talk to them .
• in talent plan verse , shuichi's committed one ( 1 ) crime at hope's peak and that's taking the coffee maker out of their talent lab and putting it in their dorm .
• shuichi likes 80′s music .

@fghtfr asked : ❝Oh my god, you sound like Roz from Monsters Inc!❞
being sick was the most inconvenient thing that could happen , & shuichi typically did their best to insure they wouldn’t fall ill to whatever bugs were going around . however , despite their efforts , they woke up one day with a headache and stuffy nose , which eventually led to a soar throat and a nose they struggled to breathe out of .
eugh . a pain , an inconvenience -- god , shuichi would take staying up for three days in a row again over this . a groan escapes their lips as they enter the dorm’s kitchen , hoping to make a quick breakfast and retreat back to their dorm . what they didn’t want to do was get stuck in a conversation with someone else , yet here they were , standing in the kitchen while one kokichi ouma stood across from them with a grin on his face . shuichi sighs , upon hearing the others words .
“ thanks , ouma-kun , i’m aware that i sound like absolute shit , to be honest , ” the comment rolls off their tongue in a sarcastic tone . shuichi’s too exhausted to care for their usual formalities “ sorry , i know i’m usually not this blunt , but i’m just … exhausted . i don’t even know what monsters inc is . ”
god , they needed this sickness to go away .

“Heeeeeeeeey, you look like the kinda person who knows what i’m talking ‘bout, right?”
There were no stops, no entrances, only the impromptu appearance of a petite boy lurking behind his leather fabric. The streets were peaceful, still; roads clear from cars, amongst other things that would’ve indicated it as a busy day. To many, you wouldn’t think twice about it. Though for Jataro? It was almost as if it was a second playground. A grand festivity for his abhorrent eyes, solitude being more of a sanctum than the inhabitants at his home were.
Certainly, if there was a place better than this, it would be with his friends. After all, nothing was ever more gratifying than hearing the ones who should’ve loved spite you with every skip and click of their breath. Unfortunately for Jataro things were changing, as much as he strived to continue standing in the same place. Cows clucked. The farmer wasn’t home, and now he couldn’t remember which way was the right one to the old barn. It made his head spin. There was no possible way he could return in a manner like this. Which led him to ask the most important question, sleeves pushed together with a sparkly glint in his eyes…
“Well, at least I think you do. I mean, you gotta if you’re walkin’ ‘round all alone like me… I was juss’ thinkin’…y’know, that one song? With the DOG and the FARMER. Do you think they’re okay? They must’ve died aaaaageees ago. The farmer, I mean! Then again, I heard dogs are much older in human years…” Jataro peeked down, a bashful look as he swirled in thought, giggling. “…I always thought the dog’s name was funny. But i’m not the one to talk. They probably named me over all the scales I got hidden somewhere.”
Quiet. Shy. Jataro blushed from his statement before tilting his head back up, assumably finished from his conversation.
“Oh, yeah! I was wonderin’. What’re you doin’ here by yourself, huh? Are you tryin’ to find a good place to hide, too? If you ask nicely, I can show you all the places I like to go.”
towa city was the opposite of what shuichi had expected when being called into the city for a case , they had expected the hustle & bustle of a city , cars everywhere , so many people having conversations it was overwhelming , & more . instead , they were met with a rather peaceful city , no cars or anything else indicating a busy city . they wonder if they’ve gotten the wrong address , or if they wound up in the wrong city , but no , shuichi knows they wouldn’t make a mistake that big .
right ?
however , their thoughts are soon interrupted by … a child ? a child wearing an odd mask seems to appear from nowhere , calling out to them . shuichi pauses , unsure of how to respond at first . they have a place to be , but this child is alone , that can’t be good . “ well , ” they scratch their chin . “ i um , don’t really know much about songs , or ones that involve dogs or farmers … but i’m sure they’re okay ? it is just a song you’re talking about . ”
they’re really out of their element . they silently wish for akamatsu ( her knowledge of music would come in handy ) or harukawa ( she was a child caregiver , despite her personality ) to be here with them . but no , they’re on their own . they can help one child , and then get to their destination within the city easily .
“ i’m here to work on something . i’m not looking for a place to hide or anything , ” they smile . “ shouldn’t you , um … head home to your parents , or guardian ? ”

@peachrote asked : “ shelter - from maki ”
it may be contrary to shuichi’s talent , but their memory isn’t the best . whether it’s a result of the constant lack of sleep , or their struggle to focus their over - thinking brain , they’re a tad bit forgetful . it’s not the greatest trait for a detective to have , considering the massive amounts of information they constantly have to dig through for cases , but shuichi makes things work .
today , is not one of those days when things click together and work . it’s storming , and they’ve forgotten their umbrella . they’re in the midst of debating whether or not it’s worth it to make a run for the dorms , or to wait things out at the school building . shuichi wasn’t exactly fond of their talent lab , but they could always wait the storm out in there . luckily ( or maybe not ) a third option had appeared : maki harukawa , with an umbrella in hand .
there’s a beat , a pause as the two look at each other , unsure of what to say . neither of them were the most social individuals in their class . so it comes as a bit of a shock , when the girl holds out her umbrella to him , muttering something about ‘ getting under before the downpour got worse . ’
“ thank you , harukawa-san . i was just planning on walking back to the dorms , are you also headed that way ? if you aren’t i can wait out the storm in my lab , i wouldn’t , erm … want to make you go out of your way or anything . ”

@eludum asked : “ off track . ”
spending afternoons in the library of hope’s peak wasn’t uncommon for shuichi , & they liked the quiet atmosphere of the library . it wasn’t unexpected for them to get lost within the many shelves of the library , browsing through novels until they found one they could get lost in .
however , it was unexpected for them to hold an older gaming console , struggling to make heads and tails of the first person map , while their upperclassmen went on a tangent about the game the two of them were supposed to be playing . should they tell her they’re completely lost ? she seems really , really into her explanation of the history of this specific game , a ‘ first - person dungeon crawler , ’ she’d called it . all of this was out of shuichi’s element , they’d only played a few mystery / puzzle - solving type games , nothing this … complex ? ( complex didn’t seem like the right word , but i’m struggling this much , so i suppose it’ll fit )
“ ah , nanami-senpai ? i’m sorry to cut you off , it’s really interesting to hear about the history of the game & everything it’s something i’m personally not familiar with , & i like new things , ” they shake their head ( stop rambling and get to the point already , shuichi ! ) . “ i’m afraid i’m , well , lost ? i tried to figure out where to go while you were rambling , but i’ve really gotten off track , & i’m not used to this type of map , o-or game for that matter , so … ” cue a nervous & awkward laugh !
