After we heard the announcement, we backed away from the table. Kobashikawa had been poisoned. Otori found the latest Monokuma File.

Name of victim: Kobashikawa Haruhiko
Cause of death: poisoned
Time of death: 2:00 p.m
Wounds: no wounds

Otori dropped to his knees and started to cry.

"Otori, it's okay," Taira tried to comfort him.

"I-I lost my best friend," Otori said with tears in his eyes.

I know what he's going through, it's just like when I lost Mami.

"I'm going to avenge him," Otori said, "I'm going avenge Kobashikawa."

Otori got Kobashikawa's name right, never thought that would happen.

"Sora, come look at this," Kinjou said.

He pulled out a tiny white bottle from Kojaku's cake. It was covered in cake and frosting.

"A bottle?" Otori asked.

"Not just that," Kinjou answered, "It contained cyanide."

"At least we have the weapon now," I said.

"If it was the cake, could they be after Kojaku?" Otori asked.

"I sure hope not," I answered.

"Otori, did you notice anybody acting strange before the party?" Kinjou asked.

"Not that I was aware of," Otori answered.

"Well, everyone except Kojaku was here when we were getting the party ready?" Kinjou said.

"But Taira and Mekaru were in the kitchen," I said.

Then we heard a intercom go off.

"Alright kiddies, time's up. Please make your way to the elevator room so it will take you to the court room," Monokuma said.

We made our way to the elevator door. Kojaku was hurt more than Otori. I don't blame him, a person just died in front of him on his birthday. The door opened as we came in and we made our way down. This our forth trial, two more friends gone. First Kobashikawa, and now his killer.

"Alright, the forth trial," Madea said.

"Yep, and another friend is gonna die," Mekaru added.

"I-if we g-get it right," Kurokawa said, "If we g-get it w-wrong, everyone e-else w-will die."

"But let's relax, you guys," Iranami said.

"Why?" Taira asked.

"We survived three so far," Iranami answered, "We can survive this on for sure."

"You're right," Kinjou said.

"After this, let's make this the last," Kisaragi said, "Okay?"

I see everyone nod their heads in agreement. Except Kojaku, he pulled his beanie down in fear.

"It's okay," I said.

"I lose everyone," Kojaku said, "Everyone will die because of me."

"Don't say that," I said, "You have a purpose, no one will die because of you."

"Of course you would say that," Kojaku said.

"But I-"

The door to the trial room open. It was time for the trial, round four.
