That was an anticlimactic reveal, but I don’t really know what I was expecting.
This isn’t your average school murder mystery after all, and the focus on the “how” and “why” of this single kill would’ve been derailing from the point of the story, I suppose.
But that lore at the end of the chapter is really interesting. The level rankings and identity and whatnot. If the author is planning to take it to that direction…then it may cast some light on what this school and Shirotae is about.
(And this chapter is so short! Not nearly enough for a good event discussion!)
