Content Warning: Suicide, hanging

I wrote this as a tribute to And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, one of my favorite books of all time. I wanted to do a PV where vocal synth characters play the characters from the book, like the Vocaloid The Little Mermaid PV, but I didn't have any ideas or inspirations for appearances, poses, nothing. So I took the lazy solution because this song had been finished for such a long time. Although I suppose, the Little Mermaid PV I'm talking about wasn't the original upload anyway...
And I suppose, this also means that the PV is spoiler-free, because the last verse, you only know who it is if you've read the book. And I won't tell you because And Then There Were None is one of those books that nobody spoils, and for a reason.

Another note, most of the lyrics are not mine, they are the rhyme used in the book (known nowadays as Ten Little Soldier Boys).

Lyrics:
Ten little suspects went out to dine,
One choked himself and then there were nine

Nine little suspects sat up very late,
One overslept and then there were eight
(I know the rhyme by heart) Eight little suspects traveling in Devon,
(One by one we live our part) One stayed behind and then there were seven

Seven little suspects chopping up sticks,
One chopped himself in half and then there were six
(I know the rhyme by heart) Six little suspects playing with a hive,
(One by one we live our part) A bumblebee stung one and then there were five
Five little suspects going in for law,
One got in Chancery and then there were four

Four little suspects going out to sea,
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three
(I know the rhyme by heart) Three little suspects walking in the zoo,
(One by one we live our part) A big bear hugged one and then there were two
Two little suspects sitting in the sun,
But one got frizzled up and then there was one

I know the rhyme by heart
One by one we live our part
How did it go again?
"One little suspect left all alone,
He lived his life and then there were-" no
He hanged himself
And then there were...
