That's right…
Armen said everyone but one person was in their room.
Did he really do it?
What a perfect, hypocritical example of not practicing what you quite literally preach.
Accuse: Who wasn't in their room when Armen went to report the bodies to the boys?
Kasumi
Luan
Armen
Kensuke
Hitoshi
Toshiro
Candace
Takeshi
Juriya
Yosuke
Kanna
Shun
Masaki
Greyface
Kaori
Valentin
Harumi
Sting
Yume
Nemiko
Ryu
"You're the only one!"
DECIDE: Yosuke
"Yosuke." I say, turning to look at him.
The Ultimate Priest sighs and shakes his head. "I knew all eyes would be on me but please, I've been trying to remember something since before the trial even started." he says. "I didn't do it. You may not like me but I am a firm believer in what I preach - I would never kill somebody. I just need more time to think." Yosuke pleads.
Masaki rolls his eyes. "Whatever, man. Think quickly. I want to get out of here." he says.
Candace stares at Yosuke unsurely, a conflicted look on her face. A steadfast ally of LGBTQ+ rights, she and Yosuke were born to be enemies. If she's doubting his guilt…
Did Yosuke really do it?
…
I have no idea.
Think think think think think.
Let's review what we've covered so far.
Monokuma confirmed that Sting is innocent in this case.
Also, Sting is alive.
We've concluded that the girls are innocent as well and that the blackened has to be one of the boys - excluding Takeshi and Luan.
We got to that conclusion because Valentin told a lie so we could move on with the trial...a bit strange for him but nonetheless it did help.
According to Armen, Yosuke was the only one not in his room when the body was discovered.
And now Yosuke is the number one suspect.
But...is it really that easy?
I tune out the discussion as I glance at Armen. He's still silent, observing everyone like I am. If Armen really believed Yosuke was the killer, he would have brought up this piece of evidence when we started...right?
…
…
...
Jesus, I'm not the one skilled in detective work, why isn't he helping?
Nonstop Debate
"So that's it, right?" Harumi asks. "The ugly bald giant over here who doesn't know what tweezers are killed Ryu?"
Hitoshi looks a little unsure. "Should we vote now…?"
Takeshi clears his throat and raises his hands. "If I may-"
"I agree. Let's get this over with so I can go back to my warm bed…" Masaki says with a yawn.
"But-" Takeshi starts.
"Ah, pardon me, Mister Masaki, but what did you say just now?" Yosuke asks, surprised.
Takeshi sighs.
Masaki frowns, "What?"
"You said you want to go back to your warm bed, correct?" Yosuke asks, looking like he's on the verge of a breakthrough.
Masaki attempts to cross his arms and grumbles once he remembers that the handcuffs are restricting him. "Yeah. I said that. So what?" he asks.
Yosuke gasps. "Th-That's it! I remember!"
...Break…?
"I was having trouble remembering because it was our scheduled bedtime and I was lethargic, obviously." Yosuke starts. "I was not the only one outside before the twelve hour switch was announced," he reveals. "Mister Masaki, Mister Minato, and Mister Valentin were outside as well."
Armen smirks. "Is that so?" he asks as if this is the new information he was waiting for all along.
Truth Bullet: Yosuke's Account, obtained!
Toshiro hums. "I dunno, it sounds like you're panicking and just trying to point fingers at random people." he says.
Yosuke shakes his head earnestly. "You didn't let me finish." he says. "Mister Minato went inside first. Later, Mister Valentin went inside. I fell asleep for a while and when I awoke, Mister Masaki was gone as well." Yosuke pauses and sighs. "Well, I suppose I am pointing a finger at somebody." he says.
I frown.
Who is Yosuke trying to direct suspicion on?
"I dislike discussing things like this…" Yosuke sighs again. "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
…
…
…
Oh.
Oh.
Accuse: Who is Yosuke trying to accuse of murdering Ryu?
Kasumi
Luan
Armen
Kensuke
Hitoshi
Toshiro
Candace
Takeshi
Juriya
Yosuke
Kanna
Shun
Masaki
Greyface
Kaori
Valentin
Harumi
Sting
Yume
Nemiko
Ryu
"Is it...you?"
DECIDE: Masaki
"You think it's Masaki." I answer and steel myself for the inevitable argument.
Yosuke doesn't say anything, a grim look on his face.
Masaki looks taken aback. "Excuse me?" he blinks, looking between Yosuke and I. "Based on what?"
"If we're all in agreement that the killer came from the 2nd Yard, Yosuke just narrowed down our list of suspects." I say, thinking out loud. "According to him, Sting went inside first. Valentin went inside second. Monokuma already confirmed that Sting is innocent in this case so that means Valentin wouldn't have passed by Ryu's dead body and Luan's and Takeshi's unconscious ones. Masaki went inside last." I say. "If it was Valentin, Masaki would've reported it to everyone immediately - but he didn't. Armen did." I say. "Along with the rest of the boys, that clears Valentin of suspicion as well. With that, we're now down to two suspects: Masaki and Yosuke."
"I don't understand," Kaori speaks up. "How does that make Masaki a suspect?"
"Masaki didn't report the body which means it wasn't there when he went inside - meaning he's the one who created the dead body. On the other hand, Yosuke is claiming that he was outside the entire time until the body was discovered - however after Masaki went inside, Yosuke could've easily taken out Luan and Armen and then Ryu after he came down from the air vent and gone back outside." I explain. "Two suspects."
Kasumi groans and covers her face with her hands. "This is too complicated. How are we supposed to pick?" she asks.
"Let's just put it to a vote-" Harumi speaks up but I immediately shut her down.
"We're not staking our lives on a coin toss, dumb chihuahua." I snap. "Not even yours."
God she's so stupid.
Everyone goes silent for a moment, thinking.
I turn to look at each of the boys, gauging their reactions to the stall in our case.
Luan and Kensuke don't look too pleased with Harumi's suggestion either.
Armen seems like he's finally going over the evidence in his head and not leaving me hanging.
Toshiro has an...odd look on his face.
Hitoshi and Valentin look like they're still confused on a few details - Hitoshi because of the pause in the case and Valentin because he's beginning to get that exhausted look that I'm starting to get very familiar with (he also looks like he didn't hear anything of what we all just discussed).
Takeshi looks as though he's trying to remain cheerful and positive but I can see that he's stumped too.
And our suspects, Yosuke and Masaki, look understandably bothered about being the only two on the suspect list of a particularly brutal murder. Whichever one is innocent - if they're not both innocent - nobody's been under this much stress since the height of The Tragedy.
Yosuke and Masaki...Yosuke and Maski...a priest and a taxidermist…
…
…
What evidence haven't we gone over?
We have the murder weapon, we have alibis for everyone but Yosuke and Masaki, what are we missing?
Hangman's Gambit
What piece of evidence can help us progress from here?
?-?-?-?-?-? / ?-?-?-?-?-?
Something that we haven't talked about yet…
?-O-O-?-?-? / ?-?-?-?-?-?
It probably has something to do with why the killer went so berserk on Ryu…
?-O-O-?-E-? / ?-?-E-?-E-?
Ryu and Luan - they hit him so hard there was a broken piece of metal from the pipe in his wound.
W-O-O-?-E-? / ?-?-E-C-E-?
Ryu, Luan, and Takeshi were found around the entrance to the 2nd Wing.
W-O-O-?-E-? / P-?-E-C-E-S
What were they doing there?
W-O-O-D-E-? / P-?-E-C-E-S
That's right! They were guarding the ladder that's now broken - for some reason. That's the key to solving this, I'm positive.
Answer: W-O-O-D-E-N / P-I-E-C-E-S
BREAK!
"I think…" I break the silence. "I think that whoever the killer is...the motive got to them bad." I say. "Whoever it is has been holding back how they truly felt and something about Luan's, Takeshi's, and Ryu's…activities made them snap." I say. "I can picture a timeline of events about how it went down, but…" I look at each of the boys meaningfully. "Has anyone noticed anything? Anyone acting strange or maybe they said something?"
"Well," Harumi starts up once again.
End me right now.
"I have a room right next to Greyface here-" she says, gesturing to the serial killer. "-and I'm like, ninety-five percent sure I hear her whispering things about Kanna at night. It's hard to sleep sometimes, y'know?" Harumi says.
…
…
…
Greyface smiles. "She was talking to the boys, dipshit." she says in a friendly tone.
Harumi bristles but before she can say anything else, Hitoshi thankfully speaks up: "Maybe it would help if Masaki and Yosuke share things about their past during the Tragedy?" he suggests.
Masaki scoffs. "As if," he says, glaring at Hitoshi. "how would that help?" Masaki asks. "Both of us could easily lie and say we had it easy during the literal apocalypse to drive suspicion away from us." he snaps. "Easy time means less anger and that means you're the least likely to go crazy, right?"
Yosuke sighs and straightens himself. He clears his throat, "I was living in my church during the Tragedy." he says. "We were mostly away from the Ultimate Despair and we would help everyone we could. Many of my fellow clergymen died whenever we went out on supply runs but I believe it was simply God freeing them from their torment." Yosuke says with a peaceful smile. "We had our losses but who didn't?"
Masaki grits his teeth. "I'm not saying shit." he says and clenches his fists. "My life is none of your business and it doesn't have anything to do with this."
…
…
…
Something isn't right.
I know a liar when I see one. I had to deal with plenty of backstabbing liars and homicidal psychos when I was just trying to survive the Tragedy.
Masaki…
…
…
…
He isn't lying.
And neither is Yosuke.
What am I missing?
Rage definitely played a factor in Ryu's murder.
About the murder weapon, Yosuke could've easily pulled it off and he could've pulled it off even easier if he was fueled by anger. Masaki, being the skinny twig he is, also could have managed to pull it off if he was fueled by anger.
The ladder that Luan and Takeshi were guarding was absolutely destroyed - it was barely recognizable.
Think, Sora, think.
What am I missing?
I can't let all of these people die here. We're kids! We haven't done anything with our lives! Hell, one of us is a parent. I myself have something to do too. We can't die-
"Relax."
I jump when I suddenly feel a hand on my arm. I glance towards my right. Kasumi gives me a comforting smile that quickly turns teasing, "You look like you're about to burst a blood vessel, baby raccoon." she says and taps the bottoms of her eyelids. "I don't think your eyes can take you being anemic and a raccoon." Kasumi grins.
Juriya sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "Kasumi, now's not the time for your antics-"
Takeshi silences her, an interested look on his face. "Shh. Let her." he says quietly.
"You're a smart cookie, Sora." Kasumi says. "But we shouldn't have put all that pressure on you. Breathe. We're not on a time limit-"
"Actually," Monokuma pipes up. "I'm getting a little bored of this no progress back and forth."
"...so we're on a bit of a time limit." Kasumi says with an awkward smile. "But listen-"
My eyes widen as I stare at Kasumi. "That's it!" I gasp. "Kasumi, you're a genius!" I beam.
Kasumi looks confused but blushes all the same at the compliment. "I didn't even say anything yet…?" she trails off, scratching her cheek.
I kept overlooking it but someone here has been acting strange ever since the murder.
Do I think that person did it?
I have no idea.
But they know something.
I look at the boy between Hitoshi and Candace.
He must feel me looking at him because he turns towards me and we lock eyes. "Hm?" he tilts his head.
He knows something.
"Toshiro," I start. "You were pretty close with Sting, right?" I ask.
Going up the stairs to the second level of cells, a pillow misses me by mere centimeters.
"And you said this was okay with Toshiro, right?" I hear Shun ask.
"Yeah. He said he looked through Sting's stuff himself but couldn't find anything and that we were more than welcome to try." Kaori answers. "Sting can't...he can't be dead though, right? Like Sora said, there was only one B.D.A. and now Sting's body is missing. They brought outfits for him and his accessories too, so..." she trails off.
So Toshiro and Sting were the ones who ended up sharing a cell, huh.
"What happened to Sting, huh…" Kanna mumbles. "One of the boys should know that, right?" she asks.
Masaki points a finger at Toshiro, "Don't look at anyone but him. They were friends...for some reason." he says.
"Fine. He isn't dead. Happy?" Monokuma deadpans.
Toshiro beams. "R-Really!?" he asks excitedly.
Monokuma dejectedly puts a hand over the left side of his chest. "Scout's honor. Minato Sakamoto did not die inside our lovely little Correctional Facility." he says."Furthermore, no, he is not responsible for Kuro Kamiyama's death."
"Masaki didn't report the body which means it wasn't there when he went inside - meaning he's the one who created the dead body. On the other hand, Yosuke is claiming that he was outside the entire time until the body was discovered - however after Masaki went inside, Yosuke could've easily taken out Luan and Armen and then Ryu after he came down from the air vent and gone back outside." I explain. "Two suspects."
...
I turn to look at each of the boys, gauging their reactions to the stall in our case.
...
Toshiro has an...odd look on his face.
Toshiro smiles. "That's right!" he confirms.
Armen frowns. "What the hell are you doing, Sugawara?" he asks. "We already covered the Sting subject - the bear confirmed that he's alive and he has nothing to do with Kamiyama's death."
I ignore him, keeping my focus on Toshiro. "Do you know anything about-"
"WHAT!?"
All of us jump at the sudden outburst.
"Are you kidding me!? How is that possible? Our collars are state of the art - these brats investigated the damn body! We basically have two doctors here! Two scientists! How is that possible!?"
Kensuke is the first one who manages to speak up as all of us stare at the culprit of the outburst. "M-Monokuma?" he calls. "Did we do something wrong?"
Luan frowns. "A-Ah, I do not believe he is being angry with us." he says and points at Hanako and Taro.
Both of the lackeys have their hands to their ears, shocked looks on their faces.
They're listening to something.
Candace lifts an eyebrow. "Interesting." she says. "I wonder what that's all about."
Kanna looks around, confused. "Do we...keep going?" she wonders.
Shun yawns and puts her hands behind her head. "Like I said at the beginning of this whole thing, I have a lotta people waitin' for me on the outside." she says. "We need to get this done quickly and efficiently."
Greyface snickers, "Hahaha, I didn't know the dumb jock had such a big vocabulary." she grins, making Shun frown.
Kaori slaps the serial killer upside her head without missing a beat. "Don't you have better things to worry about than Shun's vocabulary?" she chastises.
Valentin, now wide awake from the bear's scream, looks concerned. "Por favor, I hope we did not mess up somehow." he says and gently slaps his cheek. "Come on, Val, despiértate."
Nemiko manages to pull out her notepad and quickly scribbles something down. She hands it to Yume.
"Nemiko thinks something went wrong on their side." Yume reports. Then she laughs, "Better them than us, right?"
Juriya frowns and taps her chin. "Frankly, I'm inclined to agree." she says. "Look at them, they're not paying any attention to us."
I turn my attention back towards the three head honchos. Hanako and Taro are quickly tapping away at tablets in their hands. We still can't see their faces because of those damn masks but by the way they're moving, they look pretty frantic.
What's going on?
Before I have a chance to ask just that, Monokuma finally turns his attention back to us, an angry, red look on his face: "I declare an official class trial recess! Guards, take them back to D-Pod!"
'D-Pod'?
"Yes, Daddy!" the herd of Guard Monokumas chants as they run into the courtroom.
...Huuuuh?
TRIAL BREAK!
D-Pod
Evidently, they were remodeling while we were fighting for our lives.
The halls to B-Wing, C-Wing, and so on and so forth are still present and blocked off; but some way, somehow, the suspicious hallway that Kasumi would take Yukiko down for her proper meals is gone. Whether this used to be F-Pod or M-Pod, it still looks relatively the same aside from the extra cells.
It looks like we're going to be sharing a living space now.
I turn around and am immediately face to face with someone.
Surprisingly, it's not Kasumi.
"Shiro." I blink.
He gives me a calculating look, something I've never seen on his face before. "Sora," he says in a quiet voice. "You were going to ask me about Sting, right?" he asks.
I nod.
Toshiro then puts on his usual smile and grabs me by my now free wrists, "You're so smart, Sora!" he says loudly, catching the attention of our nearby peers. "Come on, follow me this way." Toshiro says and walks towards the newly named Showers Wing.
I look at Toshiro suspiciously as I close the door to the girl's bathroom behind me. "You were rather loud at the end there for someone who wants to talk in private." I say.
Toshiro hums and jumps up on the counter and sits down. "I thought it would make you feel safer if I let everyone know you were with me." he says. "It wouldn't be a very good murder if they all knew you were with me last, right?"
He has a point.
"Ah," Toshiro smiles at me. "There's that smile. So cute!" he coos.
Smile?
Oh.
I quickly wipe the smile off my face and clear my throat. "Um."
Toshiro pouts. "No fun." he says. "Kasumi would've died to see that." Toshiro sighs and shakes his head. He looks at me seriously. "I wanted to talk in here because there's no cameras. Sting and I tested it before and there's no mics on our collars either." Toshiro says. "We said a bunch of stuff about his very detailed plan and...nothing. No shocks, no Monokuma appearances, nothing."
I nod and motion for him to continue.
"I knew about Sting's plan."
There it is.
"I didn't know, however, if he succeeded." Toshiro says and I think back to the way he double checked with Monokuma to confirm Sting's status.
"Fine. He isn't dead. Happy?" Monokuma deadpans.
Toshiro beams. "R-Really!?" he asks excitedly.
Monokuma dejectedly puts a hand over the left side of his chest. "Scout's honor. Minato Sakamoto did not die inside our lovely little Correctional Facility." he says."Furthermore, no, he is not responsible for Kuro Kamiyama's death."
"And if Sting succeeded and he's alive…" Toshiro trails off. "So did Ryu."
...Huh?
…
…
…
'So did Ryu'?
...
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuh?
I blink, staring at Ryu with wide eyes. "What? Ryu? What does Ryu have to do with this? Succeeded with what, the guy's dead!" I ramble, confused.
Toshiro laughs at the look on my face. "Ahahaha! I knew I'd get a reaction like that!" he grins. "Let me explain..." Toshiro says.
Earlier on Day 4…
Takeshi and Luan look rather relieved to see me come back out of the vent alive.
"Ryu." Luan smiles, looking at me.
Takeshi starts climbing the ladder to help me get out. "Did you find anything?" he asks. "A-Wing? F-Pod? A way out?"
I shake my head when both feet are back on the ground. "No. The entire path was silent - no sign of the girls or a way out." I lie. "There were also several branches leading to other vents, I'm guessing." I sigh. That part is true. "I'll have to check out the other path tomorrow."
Takeshi sighs in disappointment and Luan awkwardly pats him on the back.
We make plans for tomorrow's vent crawl, clean up after ourselves, and go our separate ways.
…
…
…
I can't wait until it's time for everyone to wake up to talk to him. If the girl - Kasumi, I believe - is right, that's a murder waiting to happen if they're reunited.
I make my way back to M-Pod and climb the stairs up to his cell. I knock on the door, "Sting? Toshiro?"
It takes a minute for any sound to come from the other side but eventually I do hear movement and the door opens, revealing a grumpy Toshiro. "What?" he snaps. "It's not very cute to interrupt someone's beauty sleep."
"I need to talk to Sting." I say. "You can stay and listen too, I guess."
Toshiro looks like he's considering shutting the door in my face but sighs and steps aside, letting me in. "Fine." he says. "You wake him up, I need to go splash my face." Toshiro says and trudges to their bathroom.
"No need!"
Like something out of a horror movie, Sting suddenly sits up ramrod straight in his bed, his dull red eyes wide open. "I'm awake!"
I get straight to the point, "Did you know Kasumi Yuan prior to your enrollment in Hope's Peak Academy?" I ask.
Sting blinks, looking at me curiously. "I don't know…" he trails off. "When we all woke up in that big room on our first day here, I thought she looked familiar but I just couldn't place her, y'know?" he says. "Why?"
"You killed her guardians during the Tragedy." I state bluntly. "Her aunt and uncle."
Sting blinks, lost in thought. Then he beams, "Oooooooh!" Sting crosses his arms and nods with his eyes closed. "I think I did, yes. I remember a nice old couple who, now that I think about it, look pretty similar to Blondie." he says.
…
…
…
I don't -
Ugh.
I sigh and shake my head as Toshiro comes back and sits down on his bed. He has a scandalized look on his face, "You killed Kasumi's aunt and uncle!?"
Sting shrugs. "I guess I did." he says and sighs. "I'll try to apologize if we ever get reunited with the girls."
I think back to what I saw in the vent crawl today.
"So…" I trail off, studying Sting's expression. "Do you really feel guilty?" I ask.
Sting nods earnestly. "Yeah! Yes! I mean, I'm tryna turn over a new leaf and all that and I promised Mr. Hope's Peak that I'd be good!" he insists and gestures to his roommate. "Just ask Shiro!"
Toshiro nods. "He still has a few quirks but Sting's a good guy." he says with two cheerful thumbs up.
"Well then," I say. "How do you feel about planning an escape with me? It'll have to be the two of us but if we can leave this place alive, we can get help."
Sting looks at me with stars in his eyes. He grabs my hands, staring at me with as genuine a look as he can muster: "I'm totally in."
"Then let me tell you both about what I've been up to."
Presently on Day 5…
"Sting being a former Ultimate Despair and Ryu being the Ultimate Spy, I didn't really have much to bring to the table." Toshiro says with an easy smile, unbothered. "Together, with me standing guard, they planned out their escape routes all night." he pauses. "Well, day, I guess." Toshiro corrects himself. "The whole twelve hour thing is a little confusing.
"But…" I blink, hundreds of questions running through my head. "The blood...the...brain bits...he wasn't breathing!"
Toshiro laughs again, "That's another thing Sting brought to the table. The 'brains' were the mashed up remnants of Sting's breakfast and lunch - which accounted for the smell. The blood..." he smiles awkwardly. "...the blood was real. It was Sting's. The-"
Ding dong dong ding!
Toshiro and I freeze when the announcement tone plays. "Attention all inmates, please report to D-Pod for a very important announcement. Immediately." comes Monokuma's voice.
I exchange a look with Toshiro.
Toshiro smiles reassuringly. "I can explain everything else after his announcement."
D-Pod
When we get back to D-Pod, Monokuma is standing in the middle of the room, tapping his foot angrily. "Good. You're all here." Monokuma says when Toshiro and I join the group. "Let me cut right to the chase. I'll be honest." he says, very clearly annoyed. "It seems as though Kuro Kamiyama managed to fake his death. Along with Minato Sakamoto, we've lost track of Mr. Kamiyama as well."
Beside me, Toshiro smirks.
"As such," Monokuma continues. "Since there is no guilty party to punish, the trial is cancelled. I…" he twitches. "I apologize for the inconvenience. We'll have more news for you tomorrow." he says and growls, "Damn. I really thought we had something with Ultimate Spies being the first to go...first Ritsu...then Kuro..."
Everyone immediately bursts out with questions and insults but Monokuma merely laughs and vanishes into thin air.
…
…
…
…
No trial? No guilty party? No dead body? Ryu and Sting are alive?
…
…
What the hell?
…
So no one fell for the motive. That's good...I guess. Excluding our resident rich girls, all of us are used to living under those conditions. We haven't lived like spoiled royalty in years.
So…
What now?
I hear Toshiro whispering to the classmate beside me, "I can explain everything, meet me in the girl's bathroom. Ehe, go ahead and pass that along for me!"
I guess that's what's now.
A boy with spiky blond hair rolls his eyes. "You're such an idiot, Sasaki."
"Don't be like that, Kano." a girl with styled imperial red hair says with a sigh.
A girl with pretty light orange hair rolls her eyes as she shushes the two of them. "Be quiet. They're going to hear us." she says and shoots a look at the person behind her. "Especially you, Harlequin."
A boy with long, wild green hair grins. "A rescue mission! This is supposed to be fun, lighten up, Mai!"
The four of them are sneaking out of Hope's Peak Academy.
After the disappearance of the entirety of Class 80-A and four students of Class 80-B, everyone has been restless - staff and students.
These four are members of Class 80-B and they've taken it upon themselves to do what the authorities are failing at.
"We'll find them or die trying."
