Monokuma: Puhuhuhu... looks like things are getting riled up, aren't they Neko-Chan?

Mononeko: Please don't call me that, Monokuma.

Monokuma: I just can't help it! I'm so excited! I'm so exited, in fact, that I'm going to spoil the culprit for everyone here!

Mononeko: Wha-wha-what?! You can't do that!

Monokuma: The identity of the culprit is...

Mononeko: Mr.Monokuma no!

Monokuma: And that's why you should never put Pineapples on Pizza.

Mononeko: Huh? What's with this sudden feeling of deja vu?

Class Trial: Resume

Artoria: ... As I said, one of you four are lying.

Crimson: Hold on, how can you come to that conclusion based off someone else's lie?

Artoria: Well, can you explain this contradiction?

Crimson: Clearly Strawberry's probably lying. I find it really suspicious that she's conveniently lost her memory of that. If her head could grow back overtime, her memory should do, shouldn't it?

Strawberry: That's not how it works. But... I am starting to remember something.

Angel: What is it?

Strawberry: Well... when I approached the person, before they attacked me they kinda... disappeared. It happened right before the nighttime announcement.

Prix: Disappeared? As in they teleported?

Satoka: Then maybe it was Frostwing? He's the only one who can teleport after all.

Chris: But he came to the ship with the rest of us.

Frostwing: Is it possible to teleport off the ship after nighttime?

Monokuma: Nope! Any attempts to try would be immediately nullified!

Kanzen: In other words, it would be impossible for that Super Saiyan Monkey to leave the ship via teleportation.

Kotone: Super Saiyan Monkey... that is definitely not something you should be saying out loud...

Satoka: Still all of this is super confusing. I mean, why did they try to kill Strawberry in the first place?

... Hold on... kill her? Was the culprit trying to kill Strawberry?

Sora: No, that's not right...

Satoka: Huh? What's not right?

Sora: Everyone knows Strawberry and Anna have a powerful healing factor. It wouldn't make sense for the culprit to try and kill her in that way while knowing she'd just heal from it afterwards.

Prix: I see. That does make some sense.

Angel: Wait, so their goal wasn't to kill her? Then what were they trying to do?

The culprits true intentions. If I think hard on it, I can figure it out. They were trying to...

A) Knock Strawberry out

B) Get Eve's attention

C) Get more drunk

Sora: That's it. They were trying to get Eve's attention.

Anna: What?

Satoka: Wait, how would smashing Strawberry's head in with a Dumbbell get Eve's attention? Or am I missing something?

Mia: Eve was between Strawberry's chest when the party ended. If something happened to Strawberry, Eve would immediately grow back to regular size to see what's going on.

Sora: Right. It's the only way I can think of.

Crimson: Not so fast!

Sora: Crimson?

Crimson: Hold on. There are holes in your argument.

Sora: Holes? What holes?

Crimson: Still don't get it? Fine, I'll show you.

Crimson says there are holes in my argument. Could that really be true? Better listen to what he has to say.

Rebuttal Showdown

Crimson: It would be impossible for the culprit to try and do all this on their own.

Sora: Do you have proof to support that claim?

Crimson: Proof or not, it would be impossible to plan all of this while drunk.

Sora: They could have easily been faking it.

Crimson: Talk about a stretch. T̶h̶e̶r̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶u̶l̶p̶r̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶.̶

Sora: I'll cut through those!

Counter: Cup of Soda

Break!

Sora: No, there's no doubt someone was pretending to be drunk. The evidence is in the beverages back at the party.

Alicia: You mean the alcohol Neko brought?

Mononeko: I said this before and I'll say it again, I never brought alcohol. I just mentioned where it was.

Anna: Wait so the culprit brought the drinks?

Sora: Not only that, but they made sure one of the drinks was soda, so that they don't get drunk themselves.

Seiketsu: They probably thought everyone would get drunk no problem, so that they could kill in the dark with all the confusion. Too bad their plan backfired from hell and back.

Chris: Right. The power never shut off and some of us didn't even get drunk. It was honestly quite careless of the culprit.

Sora: ... ... ...

Kotone: So the culprit most definitely faked being drunk. Then after the party made for Mia, they went to kill her sister. Who would do something like that?

Seiketsu: You really haven't figured it out yet?

Kotone: Huh?

Seiketsu: It's easy once you've used the process of elimination. Most of us have probably already taken an educated guess. Isn't that right, Sora?

Satoka: Sora? You know who the culprit is?

Angel: Wait really?!

Sora: ... ... ...

Calling me out on the spot huh? Even though it was your lie that helped me find the Culprit. Seiketsu... were you planning this the whole time? You're definitely not someone I should underestimate. Regardless, to confirm my suspicions, I need to ask a specific question to that specific person.

Suspect: Crimson

Sora: ... Crimson... there's something I need to ask you.

Crimson: Hm? What is it?

Sora: Earlier, when Seiketsu was going over his little cabin story, you said a "blue bed". How did you know what color the bed was?

Crimson: Huh?

Kotone: Now that I think about it...

Artoria: Seiketsu, who all did you tell that story to?

Seiketsu: I only told everyone just now, of course. But I never mentioned the color of the bed to anyone but Sora. And yet what do you know? Crimson got the color right on the mark.

Crimson: Geh! It was just a coincidence! I just predicted the color by chance, okay?!

Sora: But that's not all that's strange. Not only did you predict the color of the bed, but you somehow knew Eve was with Strawberry before she died.

Satoka: What's so strange about that?

Sora: It's strange because he was among those who should have been drunk. Crimson, how did you remember Eve being with Strawberry?

Crimson: Tch! Like I said it was just a coincidence!

Strawberry: One coincidence is acceptable, but if it's one right after another... is something like that even possible?

Crimson: Grrr...

Seiketsu: This is your just reward Crimson. The more you talk the deeper you bury yourself in a hole.

Chris: Yet you're the one who handed him the shovel. You were hoping for a slip of the tongue from the culprit, weren't you?

Seiketsu: As I said, my reasons are my own. Besides, I had my eyes on him from the very start.

Satoka: Really? Why?

Seiketsu: It's obvious. The guy is the only one who was in both the group that set up the party and the group that ended up drunk after the party ended. That alone raised suspicions.

Crimson: Hold up! That's not true! Alicia also set up the party and she was as drunk as me!

Sora: But Alicia's alibi indicates that Chris brought Alicia to the ship along with everyone who wasn't drunk. Both Chris and Prix can confirm this.

Artoria: So, the only ones with no way to confirm their alibi are Crimson and Satoka, since both Anna and I can confirm Kotone's.

Satoka: Yeah, I got nothing. I do remember being in my room, but the most I remember is a weird feeling when I woke up.

Seiketsu: Hm?

Sora: That's right. Satoka's account... he claimed to have felt a strange chill before the Nighttime Announcement.

Strawberry: That sounds like the same time the culprit disappeared on me.

Frostwing: ... ... ... Hmm... What if the culprit didn't disappear?

Strawberry: Huh?

Frostwing: What I mean is, could it be possible that something happened to the environment around you?

Seiketsu: I was thinking the same thing. Especially after Satoka said that.

Satoka: Hold on, can someone dumb it down for me? I'm totally lost.

Kotone: I would, but for once I'm just as lost as you are...

Seiketsu: Think about it for a sec. Why do you think Satoka was the only one able to feel that chill?

The reason Satoka is the only one able to feel that chill. It must be because...

A) His Powers

B) He's an idiot

C) The power of awesomeness

Sora: You're talking about his ability to control the weather, right Seiketsu?

Seiketsu: Yup.

Alicia: Wait but, what does that gotta do with anythin'?

Seiketsu: Satoka has the ability to control the weather. This also allows him to feel changes in the environment. If he were to feel a sudden chill...

Artoria: I see... then in that moment the environment around him must have turned cold.

Seiketsu: And conveniently enough, only one of us uses ice as their main stick. What was it you called it again? Your Semblance?

Crimson: Damn you!

Kanzen: But even if it did get a bit cold, would that really affect the case?

Frostwing: Well I was wondering... what if when the culprit disappeared on Strawberry, they actually froze time?

Strawberry: Froze time? Is that even possible?

Frostwing: I actually know someone capable of just that. And Crimson, I noticed your powers are very similar to-

Crimson: Tch! Don't you dare compare my Semblance to your crazy ass girlfriend!

Frostwing: Huh?

Everyone dropped silent for a second. Too stunned by his words.

Sora: ... ... ...

Anna: ... ... ...

Chris: ... ... ...

Prix: ... ... ...

Angel: ... Crimson... You...

Crimson: ... Shit!

Mia: I thought it was strange. The way this case was structured... it's as if the Culprit knew exactly what Eve's weaknesses were. And with you somehow knowing who Frostwing was talking about... Crimson... how much do you know?

Crimson: T-That's not important right now! What really matters is that I'm not the culprit!

Seiketsu: Seriously? What a drag. Do you really think you could defend yourself right now?

Crimson: Think I can? Ha! I know I can! Watch and learn!

Nonstop Debate

Crimson: I'm not the culprit! I even have proof!

Anna: But you're the only one here who mainly uses ice. I find that highly suspicious.

Crimson: You're all focused on the wrong element! Eve didn't die from freezing to death!

Chris: That's right. She died from electrical shock.

Crimson: And I can't use electricity, only ice. So the only ones who could have done it are those who have electric powers! Making Kotone and Satoka highly suspicious!

Sora: No! That's wrong!

Counter: Yellow Powder

BREAK

Sora: Wait, nobodies powers are the cause of Eve's death. She died through electricity, but that was coming from a yellow powder found in the water.

Kotone: I can produce electricity but I can't keep it up like that. I'd run out of magic eventually.

Satoka: I honestly never tried keeping it going all night. Oh, maybe I should-

Seiketsu: Don't even think about it...

Mia: ... Yellow powder... Could that have been dust?

Sora: Dust?

Mia: An elemental product, most commonly used by hunters like Crimson.

Crimson: Tch! This again?! Anyone can use it so long as they got their hands on some! Besides, dumping that stuff in the pool would have been impossible!

Anna: He's right. Mononeko's no littering rule would have prevented it.

Alicia: Wait, so how did that stuff get placed into the pool in the first place?

Chris: He probably found a way to put it in the pool without it being considered littering. A way to bend the rules, so to speak.

Crimson: Come on! Something like that isn't even possible!

No... it is possible. All he'd need to do is use that.

Glass Containers

Sora: ... Kotone, you had one of your Persona go into the water correct?

Kotone: Hm? Yeah. I was using a Persona that was resistant to electricity. The first thing I noticed was how cold the water was. But once my Persona grabbed Eve, I noticed a bunch of small containers taped to her body. I think there was one in her mouth too... wait, you don't think...

Chris: I see. So the culprit stored the dust into the small containers. Once activated, this would not only damage her from the outside but destroy her internal organs as well.

Artoria: And it wasn't a quick death either. If the Monokuma Files is correct, it took a full hour for her to be killed.

Crimson: But there's a little problem with your little observation. In order for the dust to activate, it's gonna have to touch the water. So if they were all in containers, how the heck would they all activate?!

Satoka: What if one of them broke?

Crimson: Seriously? That would be impossible!

Chris: And yet that's exactly what happened.

Satoka: Wait really?!

Kotone: Why are you surprised?!

Chris: At the crime scene we found a glass container more damaged than the ones prior. It was on the damaged side of the pool.

Artoria: I did notice a large chunk of the pool was missing. But... how did that happen?

The only explanation for it is...

A) Satoka being Satoka

B) It came off

C) Eve fell

Sora: Possibly... the Culprit threw Eve off the Balcony and she landed on her neck.

Anna: On her neck? But didn't she die from electrocution?

Sora: For anyone else, probably. But for Eve all it would do would wound her. The Monokuma Files even state that there was a wound on the back of her neck. The plan wasn't to kill her. They were probably trying to shatter one of the glass containers taped to her body.

Alicia: Well Crimson? Anything to say about that?

Crimson: Damn you... of course I got something to say! I'm not giving up just yet! Because if I do... then... Neo...

Sora: Huh?

Crimson: Grrr point is I'm not the killer! Do you really think throwing her off the Balcony would really cause that much damage?!

Mia: He's right. Eve wasn't her usual height, so getting her up the balcony would be no problem. Throwing her down with enough force to break both the balcony and the pool is a different story.

Crimson: Hah! Like I said, the whole basis of your argument is wrong!

Sora: ... ... ... No... Crimson, you're the one who's wrong.

Crimson: Nice line coming from the amnesiac. Fine, why don't you prove it yourself?

Sora: Not only did you use sea prism stone to nullify her powers but you also froze the floor of the hotel kitchen.

Crimson: And you think that's all? A little slippery floor would be enough to slide Eve off the balcony? C'mon, you can do better than that!

It's no use. He's not going to listen. Fine, I'll give him the undisputed proof that he's the culprit!

Panic Talk Action

Crimson: How embarrassing. Can you even hear yourself right now? Me? The culprit? Ridiculous. You've got the wrong guy. There's no way I killed that girl. It could have easily been someone else, but definitely not me. After all...

It's impossible for me to slide Eve off the balcony!

Final Strike: Frozen Body

Sora: It's over!

Break!

Sora: ... The floor isn't the only thing you froze. You also froze Eve herself!

Crimson: Tch!

Mia: If you froze my sister and slid her over the Balcony hard enough, it would be a lot easier to cause the appropriate amount of damage.

Frostwing: And considering you're the only one who uses ice regularly, only you could preform this feat with such skill.

Artoria: It's over Crimson. Give it up.

Crimson: Dammit...

Sora: I'll go over your crime from the beginning. Then you'll have no choice but to admit it.

Closing Argument

Sora: Here's what happened!

It all started when Alicia wanted to throw a party. All in hopes of cheering up a depressed Mia. As everyone prepared for the party, none of us knew the culprit was already making their first move.

They started their plans beforehand, inside of the old building. They planted a knife under the table while using the air conditioner and a few irons in the storage room to their advantage. They were planning to cause a blackout.

They even switched the soda with Alcohol in an attempt to get everyone but themselves drunk and placed a bed in one of the cabins in the conditions that the party lasted past Nighttime.

However, once the party started, their plan immediately backfired. I found the Irons and unplugged them before anything bad could happen. A decision that would cause the Culprit to act more rashly. They pretended to be drunk even after the party was over.

Artoria, Frostwing, Mia, Chris, Anna, and myself all left early, leaving Strawberry to tend to the drunk. Eve was in Strawberry's chest so she stayed behind while Chris brought a drunk Alicia to her room with the rest of us. This allowed Strawberry to bring Elijah and Kotone back to the ship later on. The culprit, on the other hand, had other plans.

Thanks to being a Hunter, they were able to use their Semblance to freeze time right before Strawberry could touch them. Then, they knocked her out with a 100 pound dumbbell. Where did they get it? Most likely from the Supermarket, the same place they got tape and Sea Prism Handcuffs.

After using the Dumbbell to knock Strawberry out, Eve woke up among the confusion. Before she could get to her original size, the culprit put the sea prism handcuffs on her, nullifying her powers and weakening her.

They then tapped Glass Containers onto her body. These containers were filled with dust that produced electricity. The Culprit then brought Eve all the way to the kitchen of the hotel building. They froze the floor and froze Eve too before sliding her off the balcony.

She landed on the back of her neck, causing the dust to get into the pool and electrocute her. This lasted for a full hour before she finally took her last breath. Afterwards, all the culprit would need to do is text Mia and get her attention and it was as good as done. It's true there were some flaws with this plan, but what matters is that there's only one person who could have pulled it off.

Sora: And that person was you, wasn't it Crimson?

Complete

Crimson: Tch!

Sora: Well Crimson? Did I leave anything out?

Crimson: ... No, you didn't.

Frostwing: So you finally admit to it?

Crimson: Yeah... I did it. I'm the one who killed Eve Mioda.

Kanzen: Well now, I guess that settles it! Monokuma?

Monokuma: Are you done? Upupupupu! Then cast your votes and pull the lever! Will you vote for the right person or be completely wrong? Upupupu! I can't wait! I can't wait!

Majority Votes: Crimson

Verdict: Guilty

Class Trial: End

Everyone had cast their votes. It seems we were all right.

Monokuma: Ahahaha! Right on the money! So right, I used my left chin to speak!

Mononeko: ... So it's true... the culprit was Crimson... but why?

Crimson: ... ... ...

Mia: Are you deaf? Answer the question. Why did you kill my sister?

Crimson: Sorry, but I can't say.

Mia: What?

Strawberry: Hold on, what do you mean you can't say? You can't just kill somebody and not explain yourself!

Crimson: If I explain you're only gonna hate me more. Hell, it'll probably drag you down deeper into despair if you know the truth.

Satoka: Yeah? Well I'm ready for the truth so bring it on!

Crimson: Look I-

Kanzen: It's fine.

Crimson: Huh?

Alicia: Hey Kanzen, you stay out of this!

Crimson: You sure? I won't get in trouble or anything right?

Kanzen: It's fine. You can't say too much but I'm sure telling them your motive is good enough.

Frostwing: Hold on... what's going on here?

Kotone: Don't tell me... Kanzen and Crimson are...

Crimson: Heh.

[Photos are for visual purposes only]

Crimson: Sorry to burst your bubble, but Kanzen isn't the only Mastermind among you who's in charge of this killing game.

Angel: Huh?

Kotone: So this whole time, you've been working with the Mastermind?

Chris: I see. So when I asked how Kanzen planned on getting us to kill without motive, this is what he meant by it was already planned beforehand. And that's also why you knew so much about us than you should have.

Kanzen: Just to twist the knife of despair a little deeper, Crimson isn't the only one. Including the two of us, there are 5 of us participating in this Killing School Trip as members of World Ender.

Kotone: Five?!

Frostwing: So there are still 3 more members hiding among us?

Crimson: Hey now, I told you that you'd only hate me more if I gave you the truth. It was my mission to make sure this killing game ran properly.

Mia: You're telling me... Eve died over something like that? Don't give me that bullshit!

Crimson: It's the truth. Can't do nothing about it either.

Satoka: I can certainly beat the shit out of you.

Seiketsu: Don't. Besides, I'm curious. The way you've been talking so far, it sounds like you don't plan to die here.

Crimson: That's correct. Since I'm a member of World Ender, I don't have to worry about the rules. So I won't be receiving punishment. Isn't that right, Monokuma?

Monokuma: Hm? When did I say that?

Crimson: What?

Monokuma: Once you kill someone and get caught, you will be executed. Those are the rules of the Killing School Trip.

Crimson: Hey, Kanzen, what's the meaning of this?!

Kanzen: My apologies, it seems there's been a misunderstanding. But not even I can work around the rules of this killing game.

Crimson: Don't give me that crap! This is not what we agreed to!

Monokuma: Now then, I've prepared a very special punishment for Crimson!

Kanzen: Farwell old friend. If this plan succeeds, then you will no longer need to worry about that girl starving in the new world you helped us create!

Crimson: You really think the other three will be okay with this?! Hell no! I'll reveal everything right-

Monokuma: Let's give it everything we've got! It's punishment time!

Game Over: Crimson has been found guilty. Time for Punishment!

Executions: Crimson Prometheus

Crimson was chained up on the hands of a Neapolitan statue. Several Monocrows were flying around him. One of them stabbed at his side, tearing out his liver. Another flew at his face and ripped out his left eyeball.

The crows kept picking out pieces of his body and eating them. Eventually, Mononeko jumped up and bit his arm, ripping it off and eating it.

Crimson screamed in pain as another Monocrow came out and ripped off his other arm. Crimson screamed again and Monokuma approached holding a pink umbrella. He slowly walked behind Crimson and a blade came out of the umbrella. He used the blade to stab through the back of Crimson's neck, breaking his aura. Crimson fell and the Monocrow's started to munch on his body.

To add further insult to injury, Monokuma brought Mononeko into his arms and lit a cigarette, tossing the lighter and setting Crimson's body on fire.

Sora: ... ... ...

Monokuma: Ahahaha! Man it really has been forever, hasn't it?

Artoria: That... was...

Anna: No way... this can't be real...

Kanzen: Poor Crimson. He was so careless because he thought he could kill somebody and just leave. Not even the Mastermind has such powers over the Killing Game.

Satoka: Tch. You...

Mia: ... ... ...

Everyone fell silent. Both from what we saw and what we heard. Nobody knew what to say. We simply stayed silent, until someone broke that silence.

Seiketsu: Well isn't this interesting?

Kanzen: Oh? Have you finally decided to say something?

Seiketsu: So basically what I'm hearing is, there are 5 Masterminds including yourself. You call yourselves World Ender and are doing all of this to achieve some sort of hidden goal?

Kanzen: That's about right.

Seiketsu: But you just betrayed your own ally?

Kanzen: ... ... ...

Seiketsu: Like the Hunter said, I don't think the other three will just sit back and let this happen.

Kanzen: Seiketsu, correct me if I'm wrong but, is it not your creed to stay out of the affairs of others unless it benefits you directly?

Seiketsu: I'm curious and satisfying my curiosity will benefit me directly, don't you think? Honestly I don't have a good read on you, even from the day you revealed yourself as the Mastermind. With all of these reveals, I doubt your little plan will go perfectly.

Kanzen: Our business is none of your concern. And to all the remaining members of World Ender, I can tell you might be... confounded by my actions today. But I want you all to think things over in your rooms. Was this a mere betrayal or a sacrifice for the greater good?

Mia: Sacrifice? Was that all Eve was to you?!

Kanzen: Ah yes, well she and Eve had one thing in common... they were mere stepping stones in my path to greatness!

Satoka: Enough!

Satoka infused his fist with electricity and went for a punch but Kanzen burst into flames and teleported away. His laughter echoed across the trail grounds.

Satoka: Dammit!

Seiketsu put his hand on Satoka's shoulder.

Seiketsu: Calm down idiot.

Satoka: But-

Seiketsu: What a drag. I'll be on my way now.

Seiketsu left after those words.

Frostwing: We should be going as well. There's a lot to think about it seems...

Artoria: Yeah... even I'm a little shaken by this information. But the best we can do is move forward... somehow...

Angel: ... Mia? Are you alright?

Mia: ... Don't talk to me...

Angel: Huh?

Mia: Three of you could potentially be a Mastermind of this Killing Game. The same one that killed Eve. It's obvious staying with all of you will just get me killed... so I'll be heading to my room. Don't bother knocking.

Satoka: Hey Mia, hold on a sec!

It was too late. Mia had already stormed off with a dark look in her eyes.

Strawberry: ... Hey... what are we going to do now?

Satoka: Obviously we can't fall apart this easily!

Anna: But Mia does have a point...

Strawberry: You too sis?

Anna: S-Sorry I didn't mean it like that. I'm just a little shaken up.

Prix: It only makes sense I guess. The only thing keeping us together was the belief that none of us would kill each other. Now one of us killed another and it's revealed there are three more traitors among us. It only makes sense we would split apart and start doubting each other.

Satoka: Still... that doesn't mean we should start killing each other! That doesn't make sense at all!

Frostwing: Calm down. Right now, all we can do is go to our rooms and rest. We'll regroup tomorrow morning.

And with those words we all left the Trial Grounds with a sense of dread.

How can any of us trust each other now? Knowing that at any moment one of us will murder another. And we can't stop it no matter what.

Mononeko: ... ... ...

Why? Why is this happening? Just... what is this World Ender organization? And why are they making us do all of this?

Those were my final thoughts before I left for my room.

5. Kanzen Waru

In the middle of the night, three shadowy figures headed into the Monitor Room of the ship.

???4: You're dead Kanzen!

Kanzen was sitting in his chair in front of the monitors. By his side was Monokuma.

Kanzen: Now now, what's all the fuss about?

???3: You know what this is about.

???2: Yeah, why did you kill Crimson?

Kanzen: Why? This is a killing game. Once you kill someone you should be prepared to die as well. The fact of the matter is, Crimson just wasn't ready to die.

???4: You promised us safety over these killings. This is not what we agreed to!

Monokuma: Honestly, you sorry bunch are so loud. Do you really think a fake death and fake execution would be enough for our plan to succeed?

???4: What was that?

Kanzen: He's right you know. Each and every one of us has our own reasons for going through with this plan. And with that foundation on our tail, we're on a tight rope right now. But if you really came here to avenge one messily Crimson, then go ahead and kill me.

???2: ... ... ...

???3: ... ... ...

???4: ... ... ...

Kanzen: What's this? Nobody is willing to avenge him? I thought not. After all, kill me and this whole plan falls apart.

???4: Tch... damn you...

Kanzen: What's wrong? You shouldn't look so upset. I was born for this plan to succeed. I am also willing to die for it. Now go back and ask yourselves... are you willing to die for it?

Monokuma: Upupupupu... and think nice and hard about it too...

Monokuma started laughing out loud as the shadowy figures left the room, talking amongst themselves.

???2: What are we going to do?

???4: Damn. We couldn't even get a word in. And there's no way we could ever fight him.

???3: ... I hate to admit it, but Kanzen's right. Whether we survive or not, we won't be able to change the future if this plan fails.

???2: But is it worth risking our lives? We won't even have a future if we're dead.

???3: Either way we'll be facing death. It's too late to turn back now. We chose this path. We need to contribute our efforts into making the plan succeed.

???4: Right... by the way, ???2... your next right?

???2: Yeah. I am. But um... do you think we can wait a bit? I need to mentally prepare myself...

???3: Yeah, don't worry about it. You can take all the time you need.

???2: ... Thanks...

???3: Honestly, I wish someone could commit these murders for us. But I guess it's not that easy. Well, it's better if we keep the order regardless.

???2: I wonder... will we really be okay?

???4: Hey, save it for later. Let's head back to our rooms before we raise suspicions.

???2: R-Right.

???3: Yeah, let's go...
