I heard from a friend of a friend
That that dick was a ten out of ten
(For all my Doja Cat stans!😌)

◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣

"How... were not real."

I was so confused, what is chihiro saying? How much does he know? What and how did he find out?!? So many questions were flying around my head I felt as if I were going to faint.

All I could do was stare down at the ultimate programmer in awe.

"Excuse me, if the two of you have something to say--please share it with the class." We jumped at Byakuya's words. The entire class fell silent and watched the two of us in whats mixed as fear and confusion.

"It's nothing..." I waved them off.

"It's not nothing! Y/N has something very important to tell us!" Chihiro shouted.

"I-I..ah, don't think this is the right time to tell them... besides! Why couldn't you tell them?!" I whispered to him.

He stopped all his cheerful smiles and looked me dead in the eyes. I felt a chill run down my spine as he said "It's not my secret to tell. Only you can."

"A-Ah... I see." I sweated a little, "Well... before I tell you what's really on my mind? I think I should bring forth the real problem..."

"What real problem?" Aoi asked.

I was completely nervous, this was the first time I ever took the lead in a trial. "W-Well... I'm sure you noticed Kyoko.. That the body in the freezer was different... it felt rubbery and cold..."

"Aren't dead bodies supposed to be cold?" Yashihiro laughed at me, "I would be worried if they were not cold."

"No, Y/N has a point. The body's too rubbery. I saw when I pulled at the skin. It stretched farther than any human body should." Kyoko quickly came to my defense.

"That's it? That's the big secret? The fact that the body was 'too cold' or perhaps a bit 'too stretchy'? This is utter nonsense!" He shouted at me.

"T-That's not only it!"

He snapped, "Well get on with it. I don't know if you remember but we're on a strict time limit and--"

"Give me a second! Jesus, im trying not to crush your fucking minds!" I shouted, "Im saying that Junko is not dead, and junko wasn't junko and all that crap"

"J-Junko...isn't junko?" Toko asked, everyone was a little confused by my answer.

"Yes, Junko and Mukuro are still alive. However, the two of them...may have switched places from the very beginning. From the moment we first met... Mukuro was Junko and Junko was Mukuro."

"H-Hold on...! So you're saying the 'junko' we first met...was actually Mukuro all along!?" Yashihiro shouted, he gripped his face and stretched it.

Toko cried, "Th-Then...we'd already met her!?"

"I had, like, a normal conversation with her!" Aoi spun in a circle, waving her hands as if to get all of Mukuros, 'ick', off of her.

Celestia hummed, "When we first met, none of us knew who anyone else was..."

"So Mukuro could have simply told us her name was Junko...and we never would have known the difference." Byakuya was fuming, "That would easily allow the two of them to switch places from the very beginning."

"Wait, but Mukuro had a tattoo on the back of her hand, right!? Junko never had a tattoo like that, did she?" Aoi asked.

Chihiro looked up at me very proudly. A wave of relief washed over me and I felt as if I was doing the right thing... Maybe, who knows if I should even trust Chihiro? I felt as if I could but he knew too much... how?

Did alter ego tell him? Or did he overheard my conversation with the meer robot. Did he plan this from that very chapter... I didn't know if he was working against me and I was blindly following in his footsteps.

How much do you know, Chihiro?

"She could have hidden it with a foundation or something like that. If she did, it likely melted away in the explosion, exposing the tattoo after the body was extinguished. Plus, there were the fake nails found on the hands of Mukuro's body." Kyoko hummed. "They were the same fake red nails she was wearing when we all met for the first time."

"B-But...if she really did use foundation..." Toko murmured.

Kyoko pulled on her glove, making sure it fit snugly on her hand. "Correct. Even if there was no tattoo on her hand, I couldn't say for certain it wasn't Mukuro. But since she's the only one missing, I'm going to assume she was the one with the tattoo... But too bad for you, Monokuma. You can't deny it anymore."

"Wait, so...! This whole thing was a set-up from the very beginning!?" Mondo shouted.

"If that's true, it was quite an elaborate plan, to be sure. Making it look like Mukuro was Junko..." Celestia hummed, "The reason such an elaborate plan was possible is because the two of them were working together. So Mukuro, the Ultimate Despair, teamed up with someone like her..."

"In other words, it would be fair to say that Junko herself was also the Ultimate Despair! What's wrong? Lost the will to fight back?" Byakuya taunted the bear. He was starstruck, quiet. It was a little unnerving. I'm not going to lie.

Mondo mumbled, "I think he's just afraid..."

"Afraid? What's that mean, afraid? Fear is only possible where hope is possible. I only have despair, so fear is an alien concept to me." The bear finally snapped, that's what got him to shout at us.

"Then why haven't you been saying anything?" I mumbled.

"Because it's a bunch of nonsense. Junko's my secret identity? Puhuhu! As if!"

"Then why did you try and protect Junko's real identity?"

"I tried to protect her identity? When did I do that?" He still refuses to admit it. I groaned as we drilled into the bear, asking questions after question. Man this stupid game is so anoying, going backa and forth with someone--or something who wont listen.

We were so close to uncovering the truth and I really wanted to jump the gun.. But I knew all the information they were doing was important.

Makoto shouted and threw down the CD, "The video wasn't the only thing you tried to cover up. You did the same thing with this group photo!"

"Uh--! Uh-ooooohh...!" Monokua started to sweat.

"I noticed it just a little while ago, when we were all comparing the photos we'd gotten. In all the photos, there's a certain similarity, an unusual circumstance."

"Wh-What's so unusual about them!?"

"Junko's face. The one thing common to every single photo is that you can't see her face. It's hard to believe her face would just happen to be hidden in every single picture, don't you think?" Makoto was drilling hard into the bear. Honestly, even though we were a little surprised, our mouths were agape. "And on top of that, in this photo you can see that Mukuro is clearly visible. So in other words, at that point, the two of them hadn't switched yet. With all that in mind, there's no doubt that the girl whose face is hidden here is the real Junko. Which is why you had to have pictures that didn't show her face. Because if we could have seen her face, then it would have clearly revealed ...that the Junko in the pictures wasn't the Junko that we knew!"

Kyoko sighed, "Junko and Mukuro switched places before we met either of them."

" So she killed Mukuro, who had taken her place, making it look like she'd died. And the real Junko...is still alive. And she's the one behind this whole murderous situation, this 'killing game'..." He slammed a hand down on the stand before pointing to the bear, the lights flickered as he shouted, "She's the true mastermind and the Ultimate Despair!"

"Xanadu times two!" Monokuma credit.

"With this, the identity, and the crimes, of the mastermind have been exposed." I hummed.

"N-No, wait...! Hold on!"

"Don't bother trying to deny it. There's no more room for debate. You don't have anywhere left to run. I'll prove everything...right now!" Makoto shouted.

"Tell them!" I chimed with Byakuya.

"W-Why do i always have to tell him...Here's exactly what happened!" Makoto winned a bit before clearing his throat. "The girl we saw before us was actually the seventeenth student, who had taken Junko's place. And that girl's name was Mukuro Ikusaba. Somehow her body was kept in the bio lab, which had been converted into a morgue. Until Junko decided to put her body to use." If i told them i saw Mukuro die--my head would be used on a chopping block... "However Y/N told us that it was actually a fake body instead of a real one--"

"That's.. Strange." Byakuya grumbled.

"Do not interrupt me, anyways. That is what we'll go with right now. Junko dragged the body out of the bio lab, using the tarp to carry her to the garden. She fabricated the murder to try and frame Kyoko, who'd proven to be one big thorn in her side. Meanwhile, Mukuro was still alive, and hiding somewhere inside the school. She wanted us to believe the murder had only recently taken place. Finally, by strapping a bomb to the body, she was able to destroy any remaining evidence. She needed to hide the body's true identity. She had to make sure we didn't find out it was actually the same person we'd met in the beginning. This is the truth behind Mukuro's murder. And the one who carried it all out is the true mastermind, the one controlling Monokuma... The real Junko Enoshima!"

"That was a mouthful..." Aoi grumb;led.

"My...my brian can comprehend all of this.." Yashihiro grabbed onto his dreads.

"You're telling me..." Mondo cried.

"That's the whole story behind this incident! Well? What do you have to say to that!?" Makoto shouted.

"You have to be kidding me. What, are you broken again?" Byakuya shouted.

"You can't get out of this, so don't even try!" Aoi shouted.

"It's not like y-you're an endangered species or something!" toko stomped her foot. "How l-long do you plan to keep hiding?"

"Give it up, Junko. The game's over." Kyoko shouted.

Monokuma let out a chuckle. It was almost unreadable, I would've missed it if he didnt break out into a laughing fit. "...Over? Puhu... Puhuhu... Did you really think the story would end once we reached the climax of the case? Wrong! There's still plenty more to go!"

The bear started to shake, he bleeped a few times before he blew up.

We all shouted as gas filled the room, I couldn't see as I heard someone laugh loudly. Slow claps filled the room as the gas faded. I cracked open my eyes to not only one person but two...
