TRIAL MODE: BEGIN!
We passed through the door and entered the colorful trial room. It matched the theme of the castle.
ENMA: Okay Monokuma, we're here. What exactly are we voting for today?
MONO: That's for you to figure out. Was this really a suicide or was Souda really murdered? That's what this whole trial is about!
FUYUHIKO: He fucking jumped out the window just because Sonia told him! He jumped!
SONIA: However, I was the one who pushed him over the edge, verbally.
KOYO: That's why we're here. Once we convince Sonia otherwise, we can vote Souda as the guilty party.
YUKIZOME: Okay, let's get started then. How about we start with the usual?
NONSTOP DEBATE: BEGIN!
Ammunition:
Monokuma File #4
Lockless Doors
Souda's Room
Sonia's Painting
YUKIZOME: Juzo and I weren't present when it happened.
KOYO: Then, let's start there. Fuyuhiko, Sonia, Enma and I went to the art room on the third floor because Souda never came to the morning meeting.
FUYUHIKO: When we got there, Souda was covered fresh paint and had Sonia's painting in his hand.
SONIA: Shortly afterward, I told Souda I never wanted to see him again.
ENMA: Then, Souda rushed past us. Koyo and I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't budge. He tossed us off of him when we got to the window room.
SONIA: He then proceeded to jump out of the window. Enma jumped after him, but Souda died from impact for the ground.
ENMA: No, that's not right! Souda died from heart complications!
NONSTOP DEBATE ENDED!
Ammunition Used:
Monokuma File #4
ENMA: I managed to catch Souda before he could hit the ground, and the Monokuma File doesn't recall any external bruises.
KOYO: Therefore, the cause of the death must be internal in the end. Heart complications isn't a far-fetched idea when you think about it.
YUKIZOME: I don't remember Souda ever having any heart problems when we were in school.
FUYUHIKO: You can't know everything about everyone. Of course, you're gonna miss some details.
YUKIZOME: Oh Fuyuhiko, as your teacher, I know everything about my students. I even memorized where you all live.
KOYO: That's..creepy.
FUYUHIKO: That's more than creepy! She's a stalker!
ENMA: Anyways, Souda was a completely healthy person. He never showed any signs of having any diseases.
FUYUHIKO: That's true. He doesn't any medications in his room.
FUYUHIKO PRESENTED EVIDENCE:
Souda's Room!
FUYUHIKO: Koyo and Enma can testify. We didn't find any medication in Souda's room.
SONIA: Then, we must ask the most obvious question. How could Souda die from falling out of the window?
ENMA: The only thing I can think of is a heart attack, but Souda never showed any signs of having heart problems.
YUKIZOME: The Monokuma File stated he died from heart complications, but I never heard of a complication connected to falling a few stories.
ENMA: Then, the only choice we have left is to go through the death once again.
NONSTOP DEBATE BEGIN!
Ammunition:
Monokuma File #4
Sonia's Painting
Souda's Room
Souda's ElectroID
ENMA: We have to be missing something. Souda couldn't have just woke up with a disease.
YUKIZOME: Why not? Sonia, you, and I did on the last island.
FUYUHIKO: Yeah, but that was the motive for the third island. Monokuma made a different motive for this island.
SONIA: That is right. Monokuma trapped us in a castle until our classmates starved to death or someone here died.
ENMA: Sonia's on the right track, yet I feel like we're missing something. Souda's death doesn't make sense.
FUYUHIKO: There's not a lot of things to this case. Why is this part tripping us up?
SONIA: If we can not come to a conclusion, let us vote me as the killer.
KOYO: The answer is clear in the end! Allow me to show you why!
KOYO ENDED NONSTOP DEBATE!
Ammunition Used:
Death Book!
KOYO: How are you all confused in the end? Did you find a book in each of your rooms?
YUKIZOME: No, but in our defense, we were busy with finding a way out.
ENMA: Koyo, where did you find that book? Wait, that's the book you were reading when I woke up!
KOYO: Yes, I woke up in the middle of night, and I decided to investigate the room. I found it underneath the bed.
FUYUHIKO: You've been reading that all night?! Why?
KOYO: I assumed that Enma would wake up eventually and want answers, so I stayed in the room. I read the book to pass the time.
SONIA: What was in the book?
KOYO: Different ideas about how to kill a person. Now that I think about, the book specifics about falling out a building. If the building is tall enough, a person could die from a heart attack.
ENMA: Do you think Souda knew about this?
KOYO: It's possible in the end, but I wouldn't count on it. The book was still in the wrapping.
FUYUHIKO: Souda was probably banking on the impact killing him. Besides, he would've told us about the book the moment he found it.
YUKIZOME: So, Souda died because he had a heart attack from falling a few stories?
KOYO: Yes, that's a summary of the case so far.
YUKIZOME: That's awful. What would he do something like that?
SONIA: I told him I never wanted to see him ever again in the heat of the moment.
ENMA: The four of us found Souda in the Art with Sonia's painting in his hands.
FUYUHIKO: Yeah, the paint had a fucking hole in it. At the moment, we thought Souda caused it.
SONIA: With a blinding rage building inside of me, I sentenced him to his death.
ENMA: Sonia, you didn't. Your message could've been interpreted in a thousand different ways.
SONIA: You do not need to comfort me. I must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
KOYO: You snapped. It happens to the best of us, but this part of the case is indeed strange. I never took Souda as the jealous type.
ENMA: He did get jealous some time when I was with Sonia.
KOYO: I don't know why he would be jealous of you and Sonia. He's apar-
SONIA: Koyo, we must not speak of that. We all agreed to leave it to fate.
ENMA: Leave what to fate?
KOYO: Don't worry about it in the end.
SONIA: Yes! Let us continue with the trial. That matter can be settled later on.
ENMA: Okay...as I was saying, Souda knew Sonia saw me as a brother, so him breaking the painting doesn't add up.
YUKIZOME: So you're suggesting that Souda didn't break the painting. Then, why would he be in there? He skipped the morning meeting just to be in the art.
FUYUHIKO: We're one step fucking closer with this clue!
FUYUHIKO PRESENTED EVIDENCE!
Ammunition Used: Souda's Painting!
FUYUHIKO: Enma and I went back to the art after the incident. We found another painting that matched the colors Souda had on him.
ENMA: We figured that he was trying to recreate Sonia's painting.
SONIA: No...NO, THAT CAN NOT BE!
KOYO: So Souda was telling the truth, and we choose not to believe him.
SONIA: I-I CONDEMNED AN INNOCENT MAN?!
KOYO: Technically yes, but-
SONIA: There is no need for a but! I must be executed for my sins.
ENMA: Sonia, instead of wanting to die, let's work together to figure everything there is to the case.
SONIA: What about my sins?
FUYUHIKO: Really Sonia? We all have done shit we're not proud of. That doesn't mean you gotta fucking die because of them.
SONIA: I-I will try.
ENMA: Now, that has been sorted. We can focus on the case with our undivided attention.
KOYO: As Fuyuhiko pointed out, there was a second painting in the art room, but no one noticed since we were focusing on Souda and Sonia's painting.
ENMA: We know that Souda was trying to recreate the painting because it was broken.
YUKIZOME: Huh? Why would Souda do something like that?
ENMA: Souda cared about Sonia a lot, so it's not farfetched to think that he would repaint the picture just to protect Sonia from facing a distorted picture.
KOYO: It makes sense in the end. However, I must ask this question. When did Souda figure this out? I never once ran into him.
NONSTOP DEBATE BEGIN!
Ammunition:
Koyo's Discovery
Dining Alibi
Souda's Disappearance
Souda's ElectroID
ENMA: We can account for him when we first found Koyo in his room.
KOYO: Okay, but what happened afterward? I only saw him in the Art room which was today.
YUKIZOME: Well, the castle is pretty small, so there's not a lot of places he could've gone.
SONIA: Indeed, whoever was the last to spend time with Souda should speak.
ENMA: That would be me, but that was right before I knew about Koyo. I didn't see after that.
FUYUHIKO: So, no one saw him after that shit?
ENMA: Yes! That's it! Souda must've disappeared after the Koyo's incident!
NONSTOP DEBATE ENDED!
Ammunition Used:
Souda's Disappearance
KOYO: I would like to point that I was recovering from a blow, not an incident.
FUYUHIKO: Same shit.
ENMA: Anyways...Souda left without a word.
YUKIZOME: You're suggested Souda just up and left after seeing Koyo in critical condition?
ENMA: I'm not suggested anything. I have proof.
EVIDENCE PRESENTED:
DINING ALIBI
ENMA: Juzo can testify that him, Fuyuhiko, and Sonia immediately went to the dining hall after seeing Koyo. You were even there. Souda didn't go to the dining hall, and Koyo and I were alone in Souda's room.
FUYUHIKO: Therefore, Souda was alone.
YUKIZOME: Okay, why would Souda go to the Art room right after that? It's kinda weird if you think about it either way.
ENMA: I kinda told him about the painting, but it was completely fine when I left with Sonia.
SONIA: Yes, Enma and I left the art room together, and the painting was in perfect condition.
KOYO: That doesn't explain how the painting was broken anyways. If Sonia, Enma, or Souda didn't do it, who could have done it? No one has ill memories of Sonia or Enma.
ENMA: There's a hole somewhere. There's only one person who could've ripped the picture.

CHISA YUKIZOME!
ENMA: Ms. Yukizome, you're the only one!
YUKIZOME: Huh?
ENMA: According to the others, you arrived at the dining hall an hour after everyone else. Where were you?
KOYO: Really? Are we accusing the teacher now?
YUKIZOME: Yes, I haven't done anything.
ENMA: But everyone else besides you has an alibi. There's no one else who could've done it.
SONIA: Enma has indeed a point, but I do not wish to doubt my very own teacher.
FUYUHIKO: It's a tough break, she's the only one that fits the profile.
KOYO: Yet, she doesn't have a motive.
YUKIZOME: That's right. I care about all of you.
ENMA:...What if that all just a lie?
YUKIZOME: Huh? Excuse me, Enma!
FUYUHIKO: That's a good point. We don't anything about this woman, yet she claims she's our teacher. How can we really know she's been telling us the truth?
YUKIZOME: Hang on now, I really am your teacher. I have no reason to any of you.
ENMA: You were after our trust...
KOYO: Okay, this needs to stop. Ms. Yukizome has been nothing but an excellent teacher and a source of information. There's no reason to suspect her of lying to us.
FUYUHIKO: Are you willing to bet on that?
KOYO: Certainly, what are the terms in the end?
FUYUHIKO: If I can prove it, you have to give one thing of my choice.
KOYO: And vice versa?
FUYUHIKO: Yes.
KOYO: Bring your worse.
FUYUHIKO: Ha! You just fucked yourself over!
FUYUHIKO PRESENTED EVIDENCE:
Fuyuhiko's ElectroID!
FUYUHIKO: Monokuma, can you play the conversation you, me, and Enma had at the castle's gate the night before we were trapped in here?
KOYO: You talked to Monokuma without telling anyone?
ENMA: Yes, but we had to.
MONO: UPUPUP! Let's shake the very foundation of this game!
"Upupup, that's a beary interesting deal." Monokuma's red eye sparkled. "I'm all in."
" First question are you and Monomi working for the Future Foundation?" Fuyuhiko asked.
"I'm appalled that you ask me a question like that. I wouldn't be caught dead in the group, but Monomi, on the other hand,...I can't help if my sister is in the wrong crowd. Oh, I tried so hard to keep her on the righteous path, but she's so rebellious. She could never accept despair the same way I did."
"Okay, so Monomi's in the organization," I concluded. "Why would the Future Foundation wipe Ms. Yukizome's memory? Juzo said she was on their side."
"Huh?" Monokuma tilted his head to the side with a bit of confusion in his voice. "Upupup! That question could shake the whole foundation of the game if I answer that. Are you sure you want an answer?"
"Yes!" We said together.
"Okay, I warn ya. Chisa doesn't have amnesia." Monokuma erupted in the laughing fit. "I don't even know why she came up with such a crazy lie. I can't believe y'all believed it too. She contradicted herself SO many times."
"Th-That can't be right! Ms. Yukizome would never lie to us." I said, slightly startled.
"I'm a bear of my word. I haven't lie to you once this whole conversation." Monokuma laughed at the despair, clear on our faces. "The truth is full of despair, isn't it?"
MONO: The truth is full of despair, isn't it?
KOYO: Let me get this straight...Are you taking Monokuma's word over your own teacher?
ENMA: Yes, but Monokuma hasn't lied to us ever. Whether it's despairful or hopeful, Monokuma has always been truthful.
SONIA: I can't believe this nor condone this. Ms. Yukizome is a wonderful teacher.
FUYUHIKO: Okay, if you won't listen to Monokuma's testimony, how about Ibuki.
ENMA: That's right. Ibuki did say whatever Ms. Yukizome did would come to light. This could be very well the truth.
SONIA: Th-That is true.
YUKIZOME: Sonia, you can't believe them. I'm innocent! I swear it!
NONSTOP DEBATE BEGIN!
Ammunition:
Sonia's Painting
Souda's Painting
Souda's ElectroID
Koyo's Discovery
YUKIZOME: I didn't see Souda anytime yesterday.
SONIA: I wish to believe in the best of people. Ms. Yukizome has done nothing to convince me otherwise.
ENMA: But there's evidence to prove that she was the one who destroyed it.
KOYO: Really Enma, you're grasping at straws now.
ENMA: No, I'm not. How can y'all just turn your head to my evidence?
YUKIZOME: You're using Monokuma as a reference.
KOYO: And you're intercepting a dead girl's message. Pardon me if I instantly agree with you in the end.
SONIA: There is nothing solid that is linking Ms. Yukizome to the crime.
ENMA: That's where y'all are wrong! I have one last shot at this!
NONSTOP DEBATE ENDED!
Ammunition Used:
Souda's ElectroID
ENMA: Just like Fuyuhiko's electroID, Souda's ID should recover all of his movements. Therefore, if we play the video and see Ms. Yukizome on it, I was right.
KOYO: And when you don't see her, we can conclude that she didn't do it.
YUKIZOME: Can you play this for us? This is so mentally exhausting.
MONO: Upupup! Another video? Man, kids, these days depend on technology too much.
FUYUHIKO: Play the damn tape!
Souda turned and sighed when the door to his room was shut. Fuyuhiko, Juzo, and Sonia were already descending to the first floor.
"Aw man, now I'm alone." He groaned. "I can't go the dining hall. I don't have topics Ms. Sonia would be interested enough to talk me about."
He paused a moment, collecting his thoughts.
"I know! I can check out her painting! That might give me some ideas!" Within mere minutes, Souda arrived at the art room. He opened the door with all of his energy. The color in his face completely drained when he saw Monokuma's foot in Sonia's painting.
MONO: Upupup! It looks like I've been caught red pawed!
ENMA: I-It was Monokuma?
FUYUHIKO: Fu-Fucking sh-shit, it was Monokuma again?
KOYO: I win the best, Fuyuhiko.
FUYUHIKO: Fuck!
SONIA: So it appears that I was the only one who committed a sin... It is okay. Now, it is time to for my execution. I am sorry for what I am about to do.
ENMA: So-
SONIA: VOTE SONIA NEVERMIND AS THE MURDERER!
My hand slammed down onto Sonia's face in mere milliseconds. The screen calculated our votes for a moment. Complete and utter horror ran through my body. We voted Sonia as the killer! We voted Sonia as the killer! Confetti appeared on the touch screen, signaling we were right. Huh? But Sonia didn't kill him...
A/N: So Yukizome is innocent yet Sonia is guilty. Did anyone really see that one coming? Welp, I guess that's why the saying 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch'. The execution is next and coming up soon. Please review, I want to know how I did. I already planning through half of the fifth arc. Stick around for the execution, I'm very excited to show y'all!
