Corpse Party - Tortured Souls [Read Description]

Hinged Break [Chapter 1 - The Others (Part 1)]

"Those touched by the curse of this school... are gradually stripped of their sanity, and end up in a state of confusion.
Without any warning, they cause harm to others.
Well, the symptoms vary from person to person.
In the end, their bodies will be stained as black as charcoal, and their souls will be trapped in Heavenly Host Elementary for all eternity.
I...
call this phenomenon, 'Melanism'."

~ Naho Saenoki

Armando Morishige, alive, and in full, healthy condition, kept slamming away at a window in the hallway using a chair. No matter how hard he tried, however, the window would not open. Not even a dent was formed in the stainless glass. "What's going on?" he spoke to himself, breaking the long-lasted silence. He raised the chair for one last powerful hit... until a woman appeared.
"It's useless." Armando turned his head, and saw a teenage woman, with a pair of glasses, blue hair, and a school uniform he had never seen before: purple, instead of the denim blue he wore. "You can't return to your original world anymore."
"Who are you?!" Armando asked.
But the woman did not answer his question, only continued her own speech. "Just like the friends you came here with, there is nothing you can do but wait patiently."
"That I came here with?" Dropping the chair, Armando's body tensed itself, as he began wanting - demanding - answers. "Does that mean Luna's also here?! Where is she?!" But at that moment, the woman faded. "Wait! Where's Luna?! What do you mean by we can't return to our original world?!"

In a classroom on another side of the cursed school, stood Kyle Mochida, reading from a piece of paper he found. Next to him, clutching at his legs as she looked around, was his little sister, Sapphire Mochida, quivering in fright.
"'Heavenly Post News Report:
A dreadful crime broke out in Heavenly Host Elementary.
Over the past month, numerous children have gone missing within the town, kidnapping as the most likely explanation.
As a result of the investigation, the authorities found the worst-case scenario, when they discovered the bodies on September 18th, 1973 at around 7PM.
It was also revealed that a male teacher from the school, alive, but near-catatonic, was found with them holding a pair of bloody scissors.'" At every fact, Kyle slightly shivered in fright. "This is the murder case Sage was telling us about... But... how did we end up in Heavenly Host? This school should have been destroyed a long tie ago... Could it be that we've gone to the past?"
"Onii-chan?"
"No matter what happens," Kyle said, stroking Sapphire's hair, "I'll protect you, Sapphire. Don't worry."
Again, Sapphire cried, "Onii-chan!"
"We've got to find the others first. There's a chance that Jackie and the others came here too."
"Onii-chan!"
"What's wrong?"
"Sapphire... has to go to the bathroom..."
