As Tamao left the room, she noticed something, "Hey, did you ever notice that room?"

"What room?" Hoizumi asked, glancing around the hallway.

"That one. Right there." She pointed to a door on the edge of the hallway with a sign that said 'Janitor's Room'.

"No, but I doubt it has anything to do with the case." Hoizumi muttered, looking off to the side.

Tamao walked over and opened the door, regardless.

On the floor was a white tarp with a singular horizontal cut across it with blood splattered on it.

"Oh."

Truth Bullet Obtained!
Blood Stained Tarp

Hoizumi walked over.

He blinked, "Guess I was wrong."

Thank whatever gods are out there that I found this.

---------------

Hoizumi and Tamao stepped into the AV room.

She took the tape out of his hand and inserted it into the computer.

Tamao put the headphones on and settled in her seat.

The screen turned on.

There was a woman, a man, and a girl a little taller than Daiki.

"We're honestly surprised you made it into Hope's Peak," The woman(Daiki's mom?) glared at the camera.

"Especially with that stupid talent," The man(Daiki's dad?) growled.

The girl(His sister?) angrily pouted, "How the fuck did you get into Hope's Peak Academy?! Our entire family knows that it should've been me! You're stupid, and you never did anything worthwhile! Ultimate Parkourist, my ass!"

Tamao bit her lip.

This is not a supportive family...

Monokuma's voice giggled, "Your family is waiting for you! But who knows what happened to them?"

The screen turned to static.

Before the screen faded back in, Monokuma spoke again.

"But let's be honest. You don't actually consider them your family."

Tamao blinked.

What?

The screen turned into a photo of Daiki posing with some other boys in front of what looked to be an abandoned skate park.

"You consider your group of friends plus Hoizumi Shinsato your family. However..."

The screen changed to show the abandoned park even more torn up and broken than before with the group gone.

"What happened to them? The only way to find out is to graduate! Upupupu!"

The video turned to black.

Tamao took the headphones off.

Truth Bullet Updated!
Daiki's Motive Tape

Poor Daiki. He had to watch this the day he died. He's never going to find out what happened to them...

Like you're never going to find out what happened to your family.

Tamao shook her head to get rid of the intrusive thoughts.

Not now, goddamnit!

Hoizumi tapped her shoulder, "What was in the video?"

Tamao wordlessly handed the headphones to him.

He sat down and watched the video while Tamao awkardly stood by.

After the video finished for the second time, Hoizumi threw the headphones off and sighed sadly.

"Fuck," He muttered, drawing out the k.

Tamao bit her lip, "Again, I'm sorry."

He looked off again, not making eye contact, "Don't be. It's not like you were the one who murdered him."

Tamao sighed, "I'm still sorry. You shouldn't have to go through this."

"None of us should," Hoizumi replied, still staring off at nothing, "We're all still high school students."

The two stood in a comfortable silence before Hoizumi stood up.

"Let's go meet with Kawashima and Hamada," He muttered, "Maybe they found something."

Tamao nodded.

They headed out of the room, looking for the two other investigators.
