The Akira's were weak, due to lacking hope, their life was snipped away; there's no need for such miniscule hope among the group. Though, they became the proper stepping stone. Not many people notice, but you see what happens when a case goes unsolved... but unsolvable murders do exist.

( does komaeda believe this murder they have now is unsolvable? no, it takes a bit of thinking, day in and day out, grooming one's brain to see if there's any relation to the body and who could have done it. they've ruled out so many things that komaeda believed he should have examined the body himself — it's not fire magic, but maybe it is fire magic, it's not poison or maybe is chlorine in vapor form. it goes back and forth, and it's not a good look for those who wait for a verdict.

komaeda has never liked waiting. )

When you do find out who it is, due to how many of us remain... will you accuse them properly, or will you turn a blind eye?

( in komaeda's case, if it's an ultimate, he's obligated by love to let them go, to hype up their efforts, and speak of how strong their hope is. the chance to praise for the person that he cares for. in the end, he finds this to be a hopeful murder, and if rokkun ever comes to pass, hopefully his death too will be. )
