Mononeko: We're already at the halfway point... but what is this talk about Gwen Reida?

Monokuma: Gwen Reida, the 17th student hiding somewhere on this island. Watch out for her.

Mononeko: What?

Monokuma: Gwen Reida, the 17th student hiding somewhere on this island. Watch out for her.

Mononeko: Um Principal Monokuma? Are you broken?

Monokuma: Gwen Reida, the 17th student hiding somewhere on this island. Watch out for her.

Mononeko: Um uh, anyway back to the trial!

Monokuma: Gwen Reida, the-

Class Trial: Resume

Sora: ... Gwen Reida... you're saying she's one of us?

Kotone: Um are we sure about that? I mean, Reida is this super popular actress. No offense but none of us girls quite fit that bill.

Satoka: I dunno. I think I'm pretty talented myself.

Kotone: I said us girls!

Alicia: Well don't forget I'm an actress too among other things.

Kotone: Well yeah but still, I'm pretty sure we'll notice if someone like her was hiding themselves among us.

Chris: But you said it yourself. This girl is so good at acting you can barely tell it's her.

Mia: No, Kotone has good reason to question. After all, even if they're good at hiding there's something they can't control.

The thing they can't control no matter how good their acting is. Mia must be referring to...

A) Monokuma Files

B) E-Handbook

C) Morning Announcement

Sora: You're referring to the E-Handbooks right?

Mia: You can use your E-Handbooks to text. It will display your name and you can't change that in the settings.

Strawberry: Right. And so far, nobody has their name as Gwen Reida, as far as I can tell.

Kanzen: That's probably because of Gwen's ability to control the Mist.

Frostwing: What?

Kanzen: Allow me to explain. Gwen and Artoria come from a world where an invisible mist clouds the eyes of mortals. The reason Gwen was such a good actor is because she had control over the Mist. Allowing her to look and sound exactly like the person she was playing as. After all, she is the daughter of Hermes.

Kotone: Daughter of... Hermes?

Alicia: Hold up, why didn't you bring this up earlier? How many people can control this Mist thingy?

Kanzen: I was just as shocked as you were. I never expected the Mist to have effect even in the island. Up until now, even I had assumed that the person she was playing as was actually her. Honestly, the power of a Demi God is truly astounding.

Kotone: Demi-God? Hold on, there are one too many plot twists happening all at once.

Kanzen: Still, even I was a little spooked. As soon as I heard Chris say her name I instantly recognized who she was. I'm sure the other members of World Ender did too.

Mia: Artoria probably did as well, which is why she was acting so strangely.

Satoka: Wait, so you're saying that all of them have met this Gwen girl personally? Then that means Gwen is a member of World Ender!

Kotone: Yeah, we kinda got that much already...

Frostwing: What's important is that the culprit must have used this Mist to disguise themselves.

Mia: Hey, Kanzen, how many people can control this Mist?

Kanzen: Oh don't worry. In this Killing Game only two people can control the Mist. That being Artoria and Gwen. The way that it works is that it turns any illusion into reality so long as it doesn't contradict with the targets memory. Other than that you can change your appearance or even your name without worry.

Angel: So Gwen could be disguised as anyone, even one of the guys?

Alicia: Damn, then we're back to square one.

Mia: Are we? I don't think that's the case at all.

Prix: Are you saying there's still more?

Mia: There should have been someone looking into Gwen. Maybe we can find clues from there.

The one who was doing research on Gwen. That was...

A) Strawberry

B) Seiketsu

C) Anna

Sora: Strawberry, you were the one who decided to look into Gwen right?

Strawberry: Huh? Um yeah. I was looking for the book Chris was reading, but by the time Angel and I got there, Artoria was dead and the page involving Gwen had been ripped out.

Satoka: That was the culprits doing right? To get rid of evidence?

Prix: Doubtful. If the culprit did it, it would have looked way too suspicious. It would have been better off left alone so we could think the girl known as Gwen has nothing to do with this case.

Anna: The one who ripped out the page of the book... it was probably Artoria herself...

Angel: Huh? But why would Artoria do that?

Anna: Maybe she was trying to protect the culprit? Or maybe she was trying to help us discover who the culprit is? Regardless it didn't work. The page was all bloody when we found it.

Sora: You're talking about the paper we found in Artoria's hand right?

Anna: Yeah. She clutched it so tightly she ended up hurting herself. It took Frostwing to get her to release her grip on it.

Frostwing: Well that explains the paper, but it's still not concrete enough. We still don't have anyone who could be a potential suspect.

Seiketsu: ... Honestly what a drag. Looks like I need to use it after all.

Sora: Hm?

Strawberry: Use? Use what?

Seiketsu: Isn't it obvious? The trap I set up for the Mastermind.

Sora: You set up a trap for the Mastermind? Actually now that I think about it, you were acting strangely ever since we found you.

Chris: Strange how?

Angel: He asked to check my hand, and Prix's too!

Prix: He did the same for Sora and Satoka.

Seiketsu: If I had checked everyone's I would have immediately found out who the culprit was. But I didn't exactly have the time.

Mia: What makes you so sure? What exactly were you looking for?

Seiketsu: A light.

Kotone: A light? Um I'm pretty sure nobody here has glowing hands.

Seiketsu: Of course not. But right before the culprit knocked me out, I managed to apply some glowing paint onto the palm of their hand.

Strawberry: Glowing paint? Where did you get that from?

Sora: Hold on... is that?

Seiketsu: Yep. I got this stuff from the Pharmacy. I have a particularly strong power that I rather not share, but I'm still surrounded by guys that could potentially kill me. So, thanks to the rules of this killing game I managed to take some... cautionary measures in case I'm ever attacked. This glowing paint is one of them, to make it easier to find out who did it.

Alicia: Still, glowing paint ain't really somethin' you should have in a pharmacy.

Monokuma: Well where else am I gonna put it?

Mononeko: There's a literal storage room on the ship...

Monokuma: Same thing!

Mononeko: No it's not!

Frostwing: Hey, Seiketsu, we already established that the Culprit washed the blood off their body. Could they have washed the paint off too?

Seiketsu: Doubtful. If it was a real shower then maybe, but that stuff isn't going to come off you by just dumping a bunch of water on your body. It's also almost impossible to see unless you cup your hands together to form a shadow. Then you'll see the glow clear as day.

Strawberry: I see. Well we already know I didn't do it. Angel also couldn't have plus she's already been checked alongside Sora, Prix, and Satoka.

Alicia: So the rest of us need to check if we got this glowing paint on us huh?

And just like that, Anna, Kotone, Frostwing, Chris, Alicia, and Satoka cupped their hands and checked for glowing paint.

Kotone: Wait, Satoka, we already know you don't have any on you. Why are you checking your hands?

Satoka: Oh right! Totally forgot.

Kotone: Anyway, I don't have any.

Anna: Me neither.

Alicia: I got nothin'.

Chris: I can say the same. Thank goodness.

Frostwing: ... ... ... Huh?

Chris: ... Is something wrong Frostwing?

Frostwing: Yeah. Something is definitely wrong. I didn't even notice it, but I have glowing paint on both of my hands.

Sora: Huh?

Satoka: Wait so, Frostwing's the killer?

Chris: I see... say, Seiketsu, if it can't be wiped off so easily how easy is it to stick to the human skin?

Seiketsu: It's pretty easy. Barely have to make contact.

Chris: Interesting... then it seems we have our answer.

Alicia: Wait, hold on a second. Something doesn't add up.

Chris: From your perspective maybe, but I already realized the truth. I'm sure you have too, right Sora?

Sora: ... Yeah, I know who the culprit is.

Strawberry: You do?

Kotone: Then is it really...?

Frostwing: Hold on a second, it's not me!

The culprit... I had suspected them for a while now but I didn't want to believe it. Still this new information pretty much confirms my suspicions. There's only one person capable of doing this.

Suspect: Anna Wilson

Sora: ... Anna, I want to ask you something.

Anna: Hm? Sure, what's up?

Sora: Why did you lie?

Anna: Huh?

Strawberry: Lie? What are you talking about?

Chris: Seems like Sora picked up on it too. Sorry Anna, but you made one fatal mistake.

Anna: Hold on, what mistake are you talking about? We were just about to frame Frostwing right? I mean, he's the one with glowing paint on his hands.

Chris: Right. To just about anyone, that would definitely be suspicious. But think about where that glowing paint really is compared to the information Seiketsu just gave us.

The part that makes it suspicious... that must be...

A) His hands

B) His feet

C) His tail

Sora: It wouldn't make sense for that paint to be on both of Frostwing's hands. Especially after Seiketsu specifically said he only placed some on one of the culprits hands.

Angel: Huh? But how did Frostwing get some on both of his hands?

Prix: There are only two options. Either he shook the hand of the culprit, or he touched something that had the paint already on it.

Frostwing: I don't think I touched anything during the investigation... actually... no, that's not true. I remember now that I touched Artoria's hand but that was about it. I was trying to get the paper out from her clutches. But that's about it.

Satoka: Artoria? So Artoria killed herself? I knew she was the culprit!

Kotone: No you idiot. It means... um... wait what does it mean?

Seiketsu: It means the culprit touched Artoria's hand before Frostwing did.

Chris: As someone who's been investigating her body, I can confirm there was only one other person who touched her and that was Anna.

Anna: H-Hold on! I was only doing that to gather evidence! I was trying to retrieve the paper in her hands!

Strawberry: Yeah, I'm sure it was just a coincidence. Anna would never kill Artoria.

Chris: The Anna you know probably wouldn't. But if we're right then that's not really your sister now is it?

Strawberry: That's...

Anna: That's not true! I loved Artoria, she was my friend! Why else would I be trying so hard to find the culprit?!

Tears slowly ran down Anna's face.

Anna: Please, you have to believe me. I didn't do it!

Angel: Anna...

Kotone: Um guys, she's crying...

Satoka: Are we sure we got this one right? I mean, can someone like her really kill Artoria?

Seiketsu: Good grief...

Anna... her words do seem genuine. Maybe she's not the culprit. But if that's the case, am I just... wrong?

Chris: Can you stop with the crocodile tears? You sound as fake as you look.

Anna: Huh?

And just like that, Chris' sudden words snapped me out of my train of thought.

Chris:It's easy to lie if you mask it with the truth. If you're really not the culprit, then why did you try to destroy evidence?

Anna: Tch!

Strawberry: Destroy evidence? What is he talking about?

Anna: Hey, you're being awfully pushy about pinning the blame on me. How do we know you're not the one destroying evidence?

Chris: Because I was with Alicia all night last night, so I couldn't have killed her since we have airtight alibis.

Alicia: Wha- Chris! You weren't supposed to tell anyone!

Mia: Hold on, what's this about?

Alicia: I um... may have slept in Chris' room all night last night...

Satoka: Wait seriously?!

Prix: Why didn't you mention this before?

Alicia: I'm a wrestler, actress, and Idol. Going about my personal life like that isn't somethin' I'm comfortable talkin' about casually. Besides, before this we didn't even know the time of death so I didn't think it was important.

Mia: That's not important right now. Chris, what do you mean by destroying evidence?

Chris: It's true that Artoria was holding on pretty tightly to that paper. It was obvious she was trying to make sure that the culprit couldn't retrieve it by nailing her fingers into her wrist. But you were smart. You pretended to try to retrieve the paper, but in reality you were smearing the paper with Artoria's own blood.

Anna: That's ridiculous! Artoria probably did that herself by mistake!

Chris: Even if she did, how do you explain the paint? You're the only one who touched her hand besides Frostwing.

Anna: I... That's...

Strawberry: I-I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation behind all of this. Right Anna?

Anna: ... ... ...

Strawberry: A-Anna...?

Anna: ... Yeah, actually there is. In fact this whole thing about Gwen whatever her name is. It's all wrong.

Sora: Wrong?

Anna: Yeah, because at the end of the day all your claims are baseless. There's no evidence claiming that I'm Gwen!

Satoka: Can't we just search her hands?

Kanzen: Even if we did, she could block it with the mist. Only someone who has seen her personally can see through her little ploy. And no, looking at a Magazine is not enough. Otherwise all of us would have found out who she was.

Alicia: Didn't you literally say just a moment ago that you could see through her Mist? Couldn't you figure that out easily?

Kanzen: Well yes, but if I were to just tell you, then this game would be no fun now would it?

Satoka: Then what about her E-Handbook? Couldn't we check that?

Anna: My E-Handbook still displays my name.

Mia: And we already discussed Gwen can disguise her name with the Mist.

Anna: See? There's no evidence that I'm Gwen! All these comments are nothing but baseless assumptions! They're wrong!

Sora: ... No... You're the one who's wrong.

Anna: You again? I know you like to be lovey dovey with me sister, but I never thought you would be so desperate that you'd pin me as the killer!

Sora: That has nothing to do with it!

Strawberry: Hey, um sis let's calm-

Anna: No! If you really think that I did it then prove it Sora! Otherwise shut your mouth!

It seems she won't listen without proof.

Sora: Fine then, if you want proof, I'll give it to you!

Panic Talk Action

Anne: There's no way I'm Gwen Reida! Go ahead and check me! You'll find nothing! There's no paint in my hands! No clues on my handbook! I don't look anything like her! You have no proof!

It's impossible to know who Gwen Reida really is!

Final Strike: Kotone Shiome

Sora: It's over!

Break!

Sora: No, there's one other person who would have noticed if you were Gwen, and that's Kotone!

Anna: What?!

Kotone: Huh?

Satoka: Oh yeah, because Kotone's a super #1 fan or whatever.

Kotone: I-I'm not a fan! I'm just super enthusiastic about her is all...

Alicia: Pretty sure that's called bein' a fan.

Sora: Even so, I'm sure you've gotten Gwen's autograph in the past have you not?

Kotone: W-Well yeah, but how did you- Nevermind... still, while she does look like Gwen, I originally just thought it a coincidence. Even Artoria said she looked like a friend of hers. Same clothes, same eyes, same blonde hair.

Strawberry: Huh? Wait did you say blonde?

Kotone: Um y-yeah?

Strawberry: Anna's hair is pink.

Kotone: What?

Anna: Geh!

Anna backed up a bit.

Chris: Well, looks like Kotone can see through your Mist. That expression on your face pretty much proves it.

Mia: If you really are innocent, you wouldn't mind showing Kotone your hands.

Kanzen: Or better yet, send her a text. If your real name didn't appear before it's most certainly going to now.

Anna: Grrr...

Strawberry: A-Anna! Say something!

Anna didn't say a word. Or rather she couldn't say a word. We had her backed into a corner.

Sora: ... It's about time I end this. I'll go over this case one last time and make you confess your crime!

Closing Argument

Sora: This crime began all the way back when we first explored this island. Chris had found a book about a specific person. After presenting it to the rest of us, Artoria was starting to act strangely from then on. She was the first to realize the person in question had disguised themselves as one of us.

Trying to confirm her suspicions, Artoria met up with our culprit. I don't know what happened nor what they were talking about, but it would lead to Artoria's death.

The culprit was quick to take action. They probably had experience with this before. The first thing they did was contact Seiketsu, who Artoria had been communicating with in secret to learn more about the island and how to escape. Using Artoria's identity, the culprit lured Seiketsu in with the promise of information, then knocked him out when he was least expecting.

Little did the culprit know, but Seiketsu managed to stick glowing paint on her hand before he passed out. Something only visible in the dark so that she wouldn't immediately notice it.

Either they didn't know or thought they could hide it, regardless the Culprit continued with their plan, hiding Seiketsu in a surfboard case and dousing themselves in water to wash off the blood on their body. They then used a secret tunnel to move Artoria's body to the Library, knocking down a bookshelf to not only hide the tunnel but make it look like the murder occurred in the library.

This crime happened at night so the culprit had plenty of time to destroy evidence. They probably washed themselves a second time before joining with the rest of us that morning. But their plan didn't end there. After a full day, Strawberry and Angel would soon be the ones to find the body.

During the investigation, the culprit would help us investigate as a way for them to avoid suspicion. They would eventually notice a piece of evidence that they missed. A piece of paper Artoria kept clutched in her hand. The culprit would pretend to struggle with releasing her grasp, when in reality, they were smearing blood on the paper to try to disconnect who they really were from this case.

They had Frostwing retrieve the paper instead, knowing the paper was beyond ruined. The culprit probably thought they won, but in the end that paper fulfilled its purpose. In the end, the culprit who committed this crime was revealed...

Sora: And it was conducted by none other than you, Anna Wilson... or should I say... Gwen Reida?!

Complete

Sora: ... So, anything I left out...?

Anna: ... ... ...

Strawberry: A-Anna?

Anna: Don't call me that... Anna is the name of a survivor...

Strawberry: Huh?

Angel: A survivor? T-Then does that mean...?

Anna: ... ... ...

She took a deep breath and looked up.

Anna: It seems the fates really do have it out for me.

She then looked at all of us. She mumbled something in a different language. An ancient language? Then she speaks again.

Anna: ... Fine I admit it. I'm not Anna Wilson. My name is Gwen Reida... and I am the killer.

Sora: Huh...?

Her posture was different. And the way she spoke... it was like she was a completely different person.

Frostwing: I see... well if you admit to it...

Kanzen: Monokuma! We're ready to cast our votes!

Monokuma: Hm? It's about damn time! I've been waiting so long my wires nearly malfunctioned! Now then, pull the lever in front of you and cast your votes. Will you choose the right one? Or the dreadfully wrong one? Upupupu! I can't wait! I can't wait!

Majority Votes: Anna Wilson

Verdict: Guilty

Class Trial: End

We all stood there. None of us happy. Anna... no... the one known as Gwen. She was the culprit this whole time.

Kotone: So... we were right?

Monokuma: Upupu! Congratulations! That's two in a row! That's right, the one who killed Artoria Jackson was none other than Anna Wil- Oh wait, I mean Gwen Raida!

Gwen: ... ... ...

Strawberry: Hey, what's the meaning of this? You're...

Gwen: I'm not your sister, no. I'm sorry...

Strawberry: What? What's that supposed to mean? Where is my sister?! What did you do to her?!

Sora: Strawberry, calm down...

Strawberry: But...

Mia: We know how you feel. But we can't afford to get emotional... not until she explains herself...

Satoka: What's there to explain? She's a member of World Ender right? She killed Artoria because she was ordered too.

Chris: No, I don't think that's it. Even at a glance you can tell this murder was personal.

Alicia: Well? Is that true?

Gwen: ... First I want to clarify something. Strawberry, you don't need to worry... your sister is alive. She's somewhere off this island and she is safe. What she might be up to, I don't know...

Strawberry: What?

Gwen: As for my reasoning... you're right. Me killing off Artoria was for my own personal gain.

Angel: B-But why? I mean we spent all this time together. Didn't you two become friends?

Gwen: No...

Angel: Huh?

Gwen: I'll admit, I did become close to everyone. Even Strawberry reminded me a bit of my older brother who I lost a long time ago... but when it came to Artoria...

Gwen: I despised her... with every fiber of my being. Every minute to every second of the day I wanted to strangle that bitch for what she's done. The only reason why I stayed with World Ender after Crimson's death was because I wanted her to suffer no matter the cost. Artoria... no... Altoria... even saying her real name makes me want to vomit.

Sora: Al... toria...?

Gwen: ... ... ...

Flashback

At the Beach House, Artoria had called Anna over.

Anna: You called Artoria? Finally ready to confess your love for-

Artoria: Gwen Reida... it's time to stop with the act. I know it's you.

Anna: Hm? What are you talking about?

Artoria: Everything Kotone said about Gwen is true. She's an incredibly skilled actor with a carefree personality and a kind heart. But Kotone doesn't know that Gwen is also the daughter of Hermes, as well as one of my closest friends.

Anna: ... Friend...? Don't you dare call me that.

Artoria: So I was right. Gwen, tell me what's going on. You always talked about creating a world where everyone was free of greed and poverty. So why are you, of all people, a member of World Ender?

Anna: ... ... ...

Artoria: Refusing to talk? Fine, then at least tell me how you're able to use the E-Handbook. Demigod's can't use electronic devices. Doing so will attract monsters. So tell me, is there something special about the E-Handbook? Or is it the island itself?

Anna: ... I don't want to talk about it. Just leave me alone already.

Artoria: Look, I don't know why you would betray the camp but if we talk things out maybe we can-

Anna: Betray? You want to talk about betrayal? Don't act like you didn't betray us first!

Artoria: What are you talking about?

Anna: Some king you are. Lecturing me about pretending to be someone else while you wear Artoria's face and steal her name!

Artoria: Gwen?

Anna: Shut up!

Artoria: Gwen, listen to me. You need to calm-

Anna: Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!!

Gwen's mind went blank, filled by anger she blacked out. When she opened her eyes again, she was covered in Artoria's blood.

Flashback End

Gwen: ... I won't pretend like I didn't try to get close with her. After all she used to be my friend. But I just couldn't do it... not after everything she's done...

Kanzen: So that's why you made the kill so soon. After all, you weren't meant to kill anyone until the third island.

Gwen: To that, I apologize for messing up the plan and your goals...

Kanzen: Well I'm sure it's fine. A little setback like this wouldn't hurt anyone.

Gwen: I'm not referring to you. I'm speaking to the other two members of World Ender. As far as you're concerned Kanzen, I may have a one way ticket to the depths of Hades Gates, but I hope you burn there with me.

Kanzen: Ouch. Sorry but you won't be living long enough to watch that happen.

Gwen: I know. Which is why I'm going to give you a little gift. Call it payback for tricking us.

Kanzen: Hm? Hey, what are you-

Gwen: Lisa F. Neko.

Mononeko: Huh?

Gwen: I see that caught your attention Mononeko. Good... because that's the name of your mother.

Kanzen: ... ... ... Hey... who told you that name...? How the hell do you know  that?

Gwen: Oh? You don't like that? Did I hit a nerve?

Gwen smiled, sticking her tongue out at him in a mocking tone.

Gwen: I'm not telling you~

Kanzen: Tch. Fine then. That info was meaningless anyway. Monokuma, get with the execution.

Monokuma: Aye aye captain! I've prepared a very special punishment for Anna- Erm Gwen? Ah whatever her name is.

Gwen: I'm not going to ask for forgiveness, but don't be too hard on the remaining members of World Ender. And please, if the opportunity to stop this project arrives, take it and leave this island.

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

Gwen: I honestly have no right to be saying this, but good luck... and may the gods be with you.

Game Over: Gwen Raida has been found guilty. Time for Punishment.

Execution: Sunburn

Gwen was flying through the sky using fake wings. She was flying away from the hungry crows behind her. She flew as fast as she could as several crows started digging in her flesh and eating her insides. Gwen wanted to scream but she needed to focus on flying.

She got an idea and flew up, faster and faster until the birds could no longer reach her. She sighed in relief still in pain from her wounds, then wondered if she could use her wings to escape. She flew higher and farther and higher again, but then the sun caused her wings to set fire.

Her arms burning as the flames coursed through her body, she was being burned to a crisp as she fell from the sky. She landed fast first back on the island as her head splattered all over the ground. The crows feasted on her dead corpse as Monokuma sat at the beach getting a tan.

Strawberry: ... ... ... T-That was...

Alicia: ... Dammit...

Sora: ... ... ...

It was over just like that. Anna... or the one I thought was Anna... is dead. I didn't get to know the real her, but I can't deny I once considered her a friend.

Strawberry: ... ... ...

Sora: ... Hey, Strawberry, you okay?

Strawberry: Um... yeah... no? I don't know... I think I need some time for myself...

Frostwing: Right. After everything that happened, I think we all need to get some rest and think about things...

Kotone: ... So Alicia, you and Chris huh?

Alicia: W-Why'd you have to bring that up now of all times?! We didn't do anythin' inappropriate! I just slept in his room cause I was... um...

Alicia was blushing bright red, causing Kotone to giggle a little. This in turn caused Strawberry to do the same. Eventually the tension in the room had lessened a bit.

I wonder... was that Kotone's intention? I suppose it's her way of trying to cheer everyone up.

Mononeko: ... ... ...

Sora: You okay Neko?

Mononeko: Yeah... you guys can go on without me. There are some things I need to think on myself.

I nod and we all head back to the ship. All of us had a lot to think about. A lot was revealed today.

I wonder how much longer we can survive like this. Well for now... survival is all we can think about. Survival... and a way to get off this island.

Outside of the ship, the World Ender member, ???2 was looking at the night sky.

???2: ... Gwen's dead. I was supposed to kill someone but she gave her life away instead.

???2 spoke more, as if they were talking to someone.

???2: You guys... I don't know how long I can keep this up. Please hurry... Anna...

Meanwhile, in the monitor room of the ship.

Monokuma: ... ... ... Upupupupu.

Monokuma: I gotta say, this killing game has been quite interesting lately. I call it a great success.

???: ... ... ...

Monokuma: I also wasn't expecting you, of all people, to come speak to me. So, what do you want?

???: This killing game is starting to get boring. I think it's time for me to make my move.

Monokuma: Already? Man you kids nowadays sure move fast. Alright, just don't tell Kanzen. He may know who you are, but he still has no idea about you.

???: Fine by me... and one other thing.

Monokuma: Hm?

???: I want you to add something to this next island. Something to spice up this killing game... ... ... a motive.

Monokuma: A motive? Hmm interesting... very interesting indeed. Alright, you have yourself a deal. Just don't expect my little sister to make it easy on you moving forward.

???: I know. But there's nothing she can do. After all, this little game is what I was made for...
