"No, I think that's all we need to talk about" Makoto said, still unused to hearing someone else's voice come from his mouth.
Once everyone said their goodbyes and left the gym, Makoto took the oppurtunity to walk around the school and attempt to get used to his new body. It seemed that every movement he took only highlighted a new difference in his body. He felt the small bounce of his chest every step along the way. However, if he had to choose between being stuck in this body forever or having another murder happen, he would choose to stay like this without a thought
During his walk around the school, he noticed that very few people of the group who left the gym earlier were hanging out with other people. It seemed like everyone was paranoid that someone would take advantage of the current situation and commit murder
"Fret not. No one here has enough fortitude to keep who they are a secret for more than a day" Makoto heard the familiar voice of Chihiro say from behind him. Of course, Makoto knew that wasn't Chihiro, but someone else in their body.
"You could tell I'm that worried, huh?" Makoto said with a slight grin and rubbed the back of Celeste's head
The person in Chihiro's body sighed and put a hand on their hip. "Anyone can tell from just a glance of you walking around. Hopefully a murder happens soon so that awful bear can return me to my body."
The last sentence set Makoto off "That won't happen! We can't let this motive drive us to murder again!"
Chihiro's body seemed to get noticeably angry "Simple for you to say, your body was talentless and you had no goals you were close to achieving. Whereas I have been forced out of my future by the whim of a robot bear and into this body."
Listening to 'Chihiro's' tone of voice and that context clue of having a bright future, Makoto took a guess as to who was talking to him "Byakuya?"
Chihiro's body smirked "Seems like even someone like you can put two and two together"
Makoto tried a ease the tension "heh, guess we both got stuck in girl's bodies" he said with a chuckle
Byakuya was silent for a few seconds, as if thinking of what he should say next. "Being in Chihiro's body has been.....enlightening to say the least" before Makoto could speak again, Byakuya made a request "Makoto, don't tell anyone I'm in this body. If someone found out that I was in the weakest body here...."
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me!" Makoto said sternly "but are you sure you're okay with me knowing?"
"You? The world would sooner end than have you hurt someone" Byakuya said with a chuckle before walking off. Makoto felt something in his last sentence, he felt trust
Makoto looked at a nearby clock on the wall. He still had free time before the school curfew. He wondered how he should spend it.
He had two options, spend time with a body whose current owner had already revealed their identity or go spend time with someone who hadn't revealed their identity yet. The person who had his attention the most was his own body, not knowing who was currently wearing his face was almost frightening.
