Your task is to write a cohesive, not-nonsensical 500 word story, featuring one member of the tribe as the main character. It does not have to relate to the Danganronpa canon, and must be exactly 498 words long, with "THE END" posted at the end.

Makoto stared at the scene in front of him. How had it come to this?
Blood covered the floor, ran down the walls, dripped from the ceiling - everywhere blood could feasibly be, there it was. And in front of him, the person he'd tried so hard to protect.
He pinched himself, hoping this was delusion. He'd seen so many murders now, but this one was different. He couldn't bring himself to believe it. He closed his eyes, but when he awoke, the room was still the same. He blinked again, pinched himself again, started punching himself over and over... None of it changed the truth.
The truth that the figure laying cut open in the center of the room... was Kyoko.
"Why? Why you? It can't be you, it can't be."
He realised he hadn't said anything. Every other murder, he'd shouted, or screamed, but here he couldn't say anything. He knew he should get someone's attention, but he couldn't. He was completely paralysed by shock.
It turned out he didn't need to. A shout came from behind him, and he heard the sound of running feet. Still, he couldn't turn, couldn't tell who was behind him.
That awful noise told him that more people had arrived.
"DING DONG BING BONG"
"A body has been discovered!"
Hina's voice cut through the paralysis.
"Makoto? What happened here?"
"I... I... I don't know, I walked in and there was... this..."
He broke down into tears. That had never happened before, but for Kyoko, he could do it.
"AAAARRRRRGHHHH"
The telltale sound of Yasuhiro entering the room emanated from behind him. Makoto finally turned, and was confronted by Byakuya, Genocide Jill, Hina, Sakura, and Hiro.
Everyone stood there in shock, even Byakuya, who had never reacted at all to past trials. It was like nobody could quite believe that Kyoko, the Ultimate Detective, was the victim. She had pretty much single-handedly solved the previous three cases, how could she be dead?
Well, everyone was in shock aside from one person. The look in Genocide Jill's eyes was more like lust, appreciating the work of an expert killer. Nobody had even attempted to kill Kyoko prior to this, it was considered an impossible feat by all; and the wound was down her back, meaning the killer had managed to sneak up on her. How? She never let down her guard, and could always tell when someone was in the room. Surely this was an impossible murder?
But impossible or not, the class trial was coming. The investigation would have to begin, but without Kyoko, wasn't it certain to fail? The blackened would escape, and everyone else would be killed. There was nothing that could be done but submit to despair...
No.
"I must survive."
Kyoko was dead, but hope was alive. Makoto knew he'd have to continue without her, no matter what. He had to escape this place...
He made sure the knife was fully concealed within his coat pocket, and the investigation began.
