Knowing Dominic, this "she" can only mean one person. And if he has just been made aware of her death when the call went on, then naturally, it would fully explain the strong reaction.
...Actually, the audio was vomiting, wasn't it? To learn the death of a loved one is devastating. To watch them be killed can be even more so, depending on how. He recalls clearly October 4th - the feeling of helplessness as they watched a teammate get shot down --
But then, if it's revolting enough to cause a reaction that strong...
Presumably the murderer would not be there to face Dominic, otherwise to see a loved one dismembered or worse in a gruesome way would surely trigger some sort of reaction, even in Dominic who's usually pretty subdued. So it should be safe to assume that if the killer was still around, Dominic wouldn't have just ran out of his apartment - especially not after a significant delay, one that he took to recover from trauma, and time that he would not have had, unless the culprit was already gone.
So whatever that he saw that confirmed Anemone's death, it was by himself. Likely after he woke up from sleep, coming home, or a sleep coma; meaning that he should have been vulnerable and/or alone at that time, so if the killer wanted, they could have killed him too.
They did not, and instead, made an 'example' out of the one person he treasured from his world instead.
...Well that narrows the list down considerably, doesn't it? Someone who would just mess with his friend, going so far as to kill? The fact that it would have happened - or at least, the end result would be present in Dominic's room, only confirms that it could not be an accident.
It was an orchestrated play by a very, very sick and twisted person.
The silence lasts for a few seconds, but enough for Minato to pool together what he knows and work through with logic, to arrive at the most likely conclusion.
This is different than his sister. Different than Shinjiro-senpai. This death-
Did it have any other purpose other than try to break Dominic? He has no doubt at this point that whatever is left back in that room, is a horrible sight that no normal person should behold. Then if that's the case...
He would want to console his friend, but he can't, not yet, not when the circumstances of Anemone's murder is THIS. So while his voice is still quiet when he speaks, there's an edge to it. Beating around the bush would be stupid at this point, and he plainly brings up the one name that he has on his mind.]
