Ikeda: [Sighs] Guys, Are We ACTALLY Going To Forget The EASY ANSWER To All Of This!? Are We REALLY That MUCH Of Fucking DUMBASSES That We FORGOT, ALREADY!? I Dunno~ the ANSWER To This WHOOOOOLLLLE Entire CASE Seems Pretty Evident If We Just THINK For a Second~  Akiba: I- … F-For CHRIST SAKES, Stop Being So DAMN Cryptic And TELL US, If You KNOW Something SAY IT, Miki’s Fucking DEAD, You KNOW That, Right!? H-Her Fucking ASSHOLE MURDERDER Is ONE Of US, T-This ISN’T Just a NORMAL Trial, She’s DEAD,  T-Take This SHIT SEROUSLY For ONCE, S-She Was Your FRIEND!! S-She Was… ALL Our FRIEND And-  Ikeda: … Yeah, I’m WELL Aware Of THAT, She WAS Genuinely A GOOD Person… I-I KNOW That, THAT’S Why I’m Actually TRYING To Help You SOLVE This, Shitbrains…  Do You REALLY Think That I’ve BEEN *THIS* Talky During This ENTIRE Trial JUST To MESS Around Or Some Shit!? I CAN’T Believe I Have to EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU! 

Watari: [Sighs] Yeah, Yeah, WHATEVER, Calm- … C-Calm Down Akiba… He’s a SMART *GUY* He COULD Figure SOMETHING Out If He Really TRIES To~ A-And Well- … We Sorta HAVE Nothing ELSE To Go Off Of, I-If I’m Being Honest… T-There’s Not A LOT Of *CLUES* Here … It’s More Of S-She SAID, He Said, Case, R-Right…?? We SHOULD Take Whatever We CAN Get…Y'know?  Kumada: [Scoffs] Even IF It’s Fuckin’ IKEDA Who We’re TALKING About… Since He’s Just AMAZING At HELPING In TRIALS…  Sasaki: [Sighs] Kumada, Be SERIOUS! THIS *ISN’T* The TIME To Talk About His… Previous Actions Here… MIKI’S DEAD, Akiba’s RIGHT, Stop WASTING TIME…  Ikeda: Fucking LORDDDDD, I’m NOT TRYING To, Dumbass, EVERYONE’S Just DECIDING To INTERUPT ME Every GODDAMN Second~! Now!! If You ALLOW Me To TALK… I’m JUST Saying Isono, Was FOR SURE, KILLED In The ARSENAL, Yes!? We’re ALLL One HUNDRED Percent Sure Of That~  Nishiguchi: I- … Uh- Yeah!? Of COURSE!? That’s The ONLY Way This Case MAKES SENSE, And We’ve Been TALKING About The MURDER CASE That WENT ON In The ARENSEAL For Like… TWO HOURS Now, Are We TRYING To Apply That It WASN’T Just NOW?! NOTHING Would WORK So-  Ikeda: Up~! Up~! Up~! Now, THAT’S *NOT* What I’m Talking About Nishiguchi~!! It's a GODOD GUESS, But Don't Just ASSUME Things Here. What I’m GETTING AT, Is THAT We WERE *WRONG* About Protecting The ONLY TWO  PEOPLE *BESIDES HER* And *AIRI* Who KNOWS The Code To GET INTO The Room She DIED In!!! And Don’t You DARE Say That SHE Was The One Who LET The Killer IN There,  That’s STUPID,  NO ONE Could Get IN There But THREE People, Soooo~ [Lip Smacks] Tell Me, WHO ELSE Could it EVEN be Other Than-  Kamimura: I- … O-Oh Fucking CHIRST, I THOUGHT Me And Nishiguchi Were CLEAR Already-…  We Couldn’t Have Fucking KILLED Her, We ALREADY SAID That We COULDN’T, Dumbass! We Don’t KNOW *HOW* They ACTUALLY Got IN THERE To Kill Her, But It CAN’T be US Who KILLED Her,*I* Didn’t Fucking MURDER Her, That’s For Sure. Why The HELL Would I Even DO THAT If I KNEW I Was PROBALLY Going To Die HERE Anyways?!   Ken: A-And BESIDES That, K-Kazutoshi WAS With Me All Night-!! E-Even IF He KNEW About The Arsenal, He WOULDN’T have HAD The Time To KILL Her Without ME Noticing!!  

Airi: A-And It’s The SAME With NISHI!!! S-She’s INNOCENT Too, L-Like KAZUTOSHI!!!!! S-She Would NEVER EVER Kill THERE, L-Like You SAID Uh… She’s One of The ONLY people Who Would KNOW About The ARSENAL In The FIRST Place, If She KILLED There That’d JUST Incriminate Her!!! Right!? And She's SMARTER Than THAT, A-And KINDER!!! She Would NEVER Kill Isono For NO REASON!! Nishiguchi: I- [Shakey Sighs] Airi’s RIGHT, I-It’s Exactly THAT! It’d Be Fucking STUPID Of me To KILL Like THIS, And BESIDES I *SWEAR* I-I Was Taking Care Of NORIKO All NIGHT, R-Remember!?  L-Literally Everyone COULD Back THAT Up!! I-It’s An AIR TIGHT Fucking Alibi! 

Ouno: W-Welllll… I-I Mean, HONESTLY… M-Maybe- … Maybe Daiki’s… RIGHT About You Being Suspicious Thoughh… I-I Mean, With How We WERE Last Night… We Weren’t Exactly Doing Very GREAT, I Don’t Believe ANY Of Us REALLY Had A Clear Head At ALL, O-Or Heads CLEAR ENOUGH To Trust an Alibi ONE HUNDRED Percent , Right!? And BESIDES, How Long Does It REALLY Take To Strangle Someone Who DOESN’T Fight Back In The FIRST PLACE?!  Not VERY Long .. Mai: Hmm… S-Sorry For BACK TRAKING Again, But... I-I FEEL Like We NEED To Figure THIS Out, Why The HELL DIDN’T She Fight Back…!? Kumada: Does That Even MATTER- Ogura: B-B-But STILL, Even WITH My Condition LAST Night, Mutsuko WAS *WITH* Me!!! I-I CAN Confirm, And You COULD TRUST That!! THIS, Is Indisputable!! Mutsuko DIDN’T Lay a SINGLE HAND On The ANGEL That Was Miss MikiMiki!! [Sighs]  THAT’S Unlike Her Anyways…  Kumada: [Sighs] And BESIDES, *SEVERAL* People BACKED Her Fucking Alibi UP At THIS Point, It’s a Goddamn FACT That Mutsuko’s INNOCENT!! Lay Off HER.  Tsuno: A-And… HONESTLY… I Don’t REALLY Think It’s Toshi EITHER… It’s UNLIKE Toshi To Murder Like THAT, I-I Think… He’s TOO *SMART* To Murder Here THERE!!! No Way!!  Wada: … Going Back To What Daiki Said, I-I ALSO Don’t Really THINK Miki WOULD Let Anyone ELSE In Either… HOW Would Anyone KNOW That SHE Had The Code To ASK Her For It In The FIRST Place!? S-She WAS Doing a GOOD Job At Hiding It…  Matthias: T-Then- … W-Wait-! If It’s NOT Toshi, A-And It’s NOT Nishiguchi, And It’s NOT Isono… Then… How In The WORLD Did The Killer Get IN THERE In The FIRST Place Then???? 

Wada: I-Is- … Is It POSSIBLE That Someone ELSE Knew About The Code, DISPITE THAT? L-Like a LUCKY Guess!? Or... I-I Mean, I KNOW That Nishiguchi’s The ONLY Person With The Code ON Her, B-But Are You SURE That No one ELSE Was LISTING in On That Conversation?  Nishiguchi: [Shakey Sighs] N-No… IT Was JUST Us, It Was JUST Us, I-I SWEAR IT Was JUST Us, I’m NOT Lying About That!! W-We Were talking When EVERYONE Was AT The Fucking BAR! No One Else COULD’VE Known It THAT WAY-

Tsuno: I- … H-Huh… W-Wait a SECOND, I MIGHT Have an Idea!! I-I KNOW It SEEMS Unlikely But-  N-No! No! That’s Not- … I-I Don’t Think That’s- [Sharp Gasps] T-That- … That-  … T-That- … T-That Would MEAN That He’s-[Hyperventalating]O-OhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGod N-No…! [Shakey Breathing] N-NO… T-That’s Not-  Kamimura/Wada/Kumada/Ikeda/Airi/Ogura/ Watari: I- … T-Tsuno!?/ M-Manami!? W-What’s WRONG!?/ T-The- … The Fuck!?/ M-Manami… W-What The FUCK Are You Even Doing….?/ E-Eep!!! O-Oh My Gosh!! TSUNO!!!/ W-WHAT’S WRONG!?/ C-Christ!! W-What Did You REALIZE, Manami-!? 

Tsuno: [Shakey Breathing] I-I Don’t THINK That I COULD Say It!! I- I- …. [Lip smacks] I-I Just- … I-I DON’T Think That They’d WANT Me To S-SAY It, I-It’s- …  Ikeda: [Shakey Sighs] Manami, Don’t Be a DUMBASS And HIDE Shit For The KILLER… SOMEONE *ALWAYS * Tries THIS, And They ALWAYS Fucking FAIL Anyways, Sooo~ If YOU Of ALL People REALIZED It FIRST, It’s NOT Something WORTH Hiding In The FIRST PLACE!! You- … You DON’T Want To… DIE Here, R-Right!? T-The Killer’s… NOT Worth DYING FOR, [Sighs] So Whateeverrrrr You’re FREAKING Out ABOUt, Just… TELL US, There’s NO NEED To WASTE Our Times Here, it’s NOT Like The Killer Would HATE You For It, It’s Not Like You OWE Something To Them Or Whatever The Hell~ Manami… WHAT Did You Realize!?  Tsuno: I- I- [Shakey Sighs] I- I- … M-Miki- … [Clears Throat] I-I THINK Miki… Sacrificed Herself, W-We’ve Been THINKING About This All WRONG, I-I SWEAR, W-We HAVE, M-Miki- … No One WANTED To KILL Miki, M-Miki Wanted THEM To Kill HER, She’- … She TOOK Them To The ARSENAL, A-And ASKED For Them To KILL HER!! T-That’s WHY She DIDN’T Fight BACK, That’s HOW The Killer Got IN There!! H-Haven’t You SEEN How She Was Acting T-This WHOLE WEEK!? I-If- … [Shakey Breathing] I-IF- … If… Anyone Of Us Would Sacrifice themselves-…  Wada: [Shakey Breathing] I-It Would’ve Been- …. I-It Would’ve Been… M-Miki…  …  Watari: I- … W-Wait a SECOND, I-Isn’t This a HUGE Speculation Here?! I-I MEAN,  YEAH,  She was KIND, B-But She DIDN’T - … S-She Didn’t WANT To DIE-! O-Of COURSE, She DIDN’T *WANT* To DIE, I- I- … S-She Wouldn’t- [Shakey Breathing] S-She Wouldn’t Just… ASK Someone ELSE To… KILL Her Just Because She Was More SELFLESS Then The REST Of Us, C-Come On-  Kamimura: I- I- … S-SHIT-!! She- … She WOULD!! N-No She’d- … [Shakey Sighs] S-She Would… I- … S-She- … S-She Really-… G-God-! She… R-REALLY Fucking DID It… [Shakey Laughter] I-I Mean- … I’ve ALWAYS *KNOWN* That It Was a POSSIBILITY, B-But… S-Shit…. She- She… R-Really Went THROUGH With It-… S-She TOLD Me, S-She Fucking TOLD Me, I-I SHOULD’VE Fucking KNOWN, A-And- … A-And I… C-Christ… I- … I-I COULD’VE STOPED Her, I-I COULD’VE Fucking…. STOPPED HER, F-FUCK!  Ken: I… [Shakey Breathing] K-Kazutoshi- … Y-You’re- … T-That WASN’T Your FAULT… I-IT WASN’T Your FAULT That You DIDN’T Notice!!! I-It Was… N-No one’s FAULT!! S-She- … I-I Mean… A-After your TALK, S-She- … S-She SEEMED… O-Okay, Right? S-She- … S-She I- I- … T-Thought She- … N-No One Could’ve Expected-  Matthias: I- I- … I Mean… S-She Was ACTING… Pretty Happy, Y-Yesterday, Right? [Shakey Sighs] J-Joyful- … Or MAYBE… R-Relieved… T-That’s Um- … [Clears Throat] T-That’s A-A Better Word For It, I-I Think… And- … A-And I Mean… With The SONG, She Made Me Sing With Her… I-It- … I-It SOUNDED Like… A-A Goodbye- … 

Kamimura: G-God- … O-OF COURSE It WAS A GOODBYE!! S-She Was RELIIEVED, B-Because SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO FUCKING *DIE* IN A FEW HOURS!!! O-OF *COURSE* S-She Would Be HAPPY S-She- … [Shakey Breathing] I-It Makes… SENSE, I-I-It Makes PERFECT *SENSE* S-She- … S-She… [Shievels] S-She SAID It To ME, I-I’m NOT JOKING..!! S-She SAID IT TO ME!!! S-She- … W-What She SAID Was TRUE, I-I’m Just a GODDAMNED IDIOT For- … W-Why DID *I*  turn a blind eye to It!? I-I’m SMARTER THAN THAT, S-So WHY Didn’t I-  Airi: [Shakey Breathing] W-Went Through- … W-Went Through With… W-WHAT!? [Screams] A-ARE YOU SAYING T-THAT SHE SACRIFICED HERSELF ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!!!??? T-That’s Not- … T-THAT’S EVEN *WORSE* Than JUST HER KILLING HERSELF!!!!  Akiba: S-She WOULDN’T Fucking KILL HERSELF!? [Desperate Laughter] A-Are You Fucking KIDDING ME!? S-She- … S-She WANTED To LIVE As MUCH As The REST Of US!!! S-She’s Not- … S-She WOULD NEVER Kill HERSELF, T-That- … S-She WANTED To Go HOME, She NEEDED To Go HOME, S-She- … T-There- … There Were STILL S-So MUCH She NEEDED To DO OUT Of This HELL-!!! S-She- … [Shakey Breathing]  Y-You Don’t KNOW HOW MUCH She HAD To Go HOME TO!!! S-She Had Her… Fans… H-Her SISTER, S-She Was MEANT To Say SORRY To Her!!! S-She- … S-She WOULDN’T Have Just… S-SET Herself Up To DIE, L-Like THAT!!! A-And She WOULDN’T Fucking KILL HERSELF EITHER-  Ikeda: [Sighs] I-It’s TRUE, She WOULDN’T Fucking KILL HERSELF, Yes, She WOULD *SACIFINCE* Herself, You Dumbass!!! Those Are TWO DIFFERENT Things, A-And… I Mean, She WAS Acting WEIRD as HELL Wasn’t SHE!? S-Surely She WASN’T Very HAPPY That We Were STARVING TO DEATH, Right!? And BESIDES, She- … S-She ALWAYS-… [Lip Smacks] She Always Had a BIT Of a… I-I Dunno… savior complex!? She FITS The ROLE Of a Sacrificial Lamb Quite WELL, Or- … O-Or IS That JUST What *I* Believe… I Mean, It ALL MAKES SENSE, Doesn’t It!? Her PAST Actions, How She’s BEEN ACTING, The FACT She DIED With a Fucking SMILE, The Fact SHE Was The One Of The ONLYYYYYY Ones With The CODE, The SONG, Which INCULDED *SACRIFCIAL FUCKING LAMBS AS THE MAIN MOTIF* The DAY We FOUND Her Corpse And  Whatever The HELL The Emo Kid’s TALK With Her WAS!! What ELSE Could We POSSIBLY *NEED* To PROVE That This Shit’s TRUE?! C-Commmmme On!!! Open Your Damn EYES *ALREADY* The Evidence’s RIGHT THERE!!!  OPEN YOUR EYES TO IT Or Fucking DIE, S-See If *I* CARE!! I-It’s Self-EVIDENT!  … 

Sasaki: S-So- … So… M-Miki Really- …[Shakey Breathing] G-GODDAMNIT!! S-She DIDN’T NEED To Do THAT, E-Everyone Was THINKING Of MURDER *ALREADY* I-It Was ONLY A MATTER Of TIME Until Someone CAVED IT, S-She DIDN’T NEED To SET This SHIT UP!! S-SOMEONE Was BOUND To WIND Up DEAD, ANYWAYS!! S-She- … Fuck…! W-WHY WOULD…. SHE DO THIS!?  Nishiguchi: T-That’s- … T-That’s [Shakey Sighs] O-OKAYYYY… OKAYYY… T-That Was A- … A-ALOT Of SHIT, B-But… We PROBALLY *KNOW* The “WHY”, Y-Yeah!? It Was… PROBABLY To SAVE Us All… W-What We… NEED To Figure Out Is The “WHO”... [Shakey Sighs] I-If We GET Hooked Up With… W-We’d STILL Die Here, R-RIGHT?! She- … She DID This To SAVE Us… A-ALL Of Us, If We DIE In This Fucking Trial, it’s For NOTHING… A-ALRIGHT!? W-We NEED To Figure Out WHO Helped Here, W-Where- … Where The HELL Can We Even Move ON From This!? L-Like… Rechecking Our A-Alibies Or Some Shit!?  Ogura: I- … I- … [Shakey Sighs] Y-Yes… I- I- SUPPOSE That’d Help… If- T-There’s a POSSIBILITY That …M-Miss MikiMiki COULD’VE Gave Whoever This Mystery Person Is A-A Reliable rationale Also… Y-Yes? If- … If We FIND Out WHO'S Alibi Don’t Coexist With The Rest, That We Could’ve EASILY Look OVER At First… T-Then-…  Ouno: [Whimpers] I- I Mean… I STILL BARELY Believe That… Isono SACIFINCED herself, But … That Would Make It a … C-Case… C-Closed… Hopefully…  Tsuno: S-So Um… All We Need Are… A-Alibies? [Nervous Laughter] T-This Are… P-Pretty EASY Actually!!! T-That’s- … That’s Good!! T-That’s Good!! I- … I CAN Start… I-If You Guys WANT Of Course…! I Was… W-Well… I Was WITH Watari A-All Night, I… KINDA Was Freaking OUT , A-And She Decided To Stay With Me, I Calmed Down a Bit…   Mai: Watari, Could You Approve Of That?  Watari: U-Uh… [Sighs] Yeah, Yeah, That Happened, HEADMASTER Guaranteeeee~ She's ONE HUNDRED Percent Innocent~! I-I Mean, At FIRST I Thought She Was FREAKING Out BECAUSE She Murdered, Kinda… B-But Yeah, NO, That Doesn’t Make SENSE, Our Abilities Are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT True, Yes? I-I’m PRETTY SURE We’re Clear.  Nishiguchi: [Lip Smacks] I-I’m PRETTY Sure The People WITHOUT An Alibi SHOULD Be Clear TOO, Right!? I Mean, If They Were GIVEN a FAKE Alibi, T-They Would’ve Fuckin’ USED IT… Right!? They’re NOT *IDIOTS* They- … [Sighs] W-WHAT I’m TRYING To Say Is The people Who Couldn't GIVE Any ACTUAL Alibi’s Or Were Like, ALONE, Are PROBALLY *INNOCENT* Also!! T-That Means Airi And Hayashi AREN’T MURDERDERS…  Airi: O-Oh! Y-Yeah! We’re- …  Hitomi And Ouno AREN’T Murderers Either!! T-They Were ON The STAGE WHILE Isono Was Getting MURDERED, And THEN She Ran OFF And Found The Body, Remember? E-Everyone Who Would’ve PAST By Would’ve Seen Them, T-There’s No WAY They Would’ve Got The CHANCE To Slip And Murder Isono!! S-So… They’re INNOCENT Too… I-I Saw Them!  Akiba: [Sighs] And We’re OBVIOUSLY In The CLEAR Too, Not ON That Fucking FLOOR, Remember!?   S-So- … T-That LEAVES The ONLY Two… P-People Whose Alibi's We CAN’T REALLY Confirm Are- …  ...

Kumada: D-Did- … Did… Did ANYONE REALLY SEE, Masami OR ikeda Last Night When Isono Was Getting MURDERED!? W-We JUST Seen Daiki When HE WENT To The Ballroom, B-But THAT SHOULDN'T Count, She Was ALREADY FUCKING DEAD …[Shakey Breathing]  A-And They’re GODDAMN IMPERSONATORS, Right!? If ANYONE Would’ve REPICATED Isono’s VOICE- … I-IF ANYONE Would WORK Together TO KILL HER, They-  Tsuno: N-NO!!! [Shakey Breathing] T-THEY DIDN’T-!!! I-I SWEAR They DIDN’T!! W-Why- … [Cries] T-They’re NOT MURDERDERS!!! T-They’re- … I- I SWEAR-! I-I SWEAR It’s NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!! T-They’re BETTER Than THAT, T-They- … They WOULDN’T HURT ANYONE, T-They DIDN’T-! T-They DIDN’T!!!! T-They- … I-I WOULD’VE KNOWN, I-I WOULD’VE Fucking STOPPED Them, B-Both OF THEM, I- … I WOULD’VE KNOWN!!!! T-That’s Why- … [Crying] T-THEY’RE INNOCENT!!!

I-It’s Just A- … I-It’s JUST a MASSIVE Consequence I-I PROMISE YOU!! H-He- She- … THEY WOULDN’T DO THIS!!! [Crying] T-They’re- … T-THEY WOULD NEVER!!!  …  Tsuno: [Crying] P-PLEASE DAIKI, MASAMI, A-ANY OF YOU, S-Say That They’re WRONG, S-Say That You Were ACTUALLY TOGETHER DURING THE MURDER, T-Tell Me You Weren’t LYING, P-PLEASE!!!

[Crying] S-Say That This ISN’T TRUE, S-Say That You’re- … L-LOOK AT ME, I-I KNOW You’re INNOCENT, Y-You DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG, Y-You- … S-STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT A-AND Just SAY THAT You’re- … J-JUST FUCKING *SAY* SOMETHING, I-I Don’t CARE If It’s a LIE, J-JUST DEFEND YOURSELF ALREADY!!!  [Crying] P-Please… SAY SOMETHING…  …  Wada: I- I- … [Crying] S-Sorry… I-I’m So SORRY, I- I- … I-I’m- … [Crying] I-I’m SORRY… I-I’m-… [Shakey Breathing] S-She- …. S-She-…I-I JUST Wanted To… S-Save You… I-I Didn’t WANT To Kill Her, O-Of Course I Didn’t WANT To Kill Her, B-But We COULDN’T *STAY* In The Ballroom, A-And She Said- … A-And She SAID It Was Okay,!! A-And She WANTED US TO, S-So I Just-   Ikeda: [Shakey Laughter] *I* Killed Her, Masami Was JUST There For Moral Support… And To INPERSONATE Isono, O-Or- [Scoffs] Or Some Shit, She’s INNOCENT… I-I SUPPOSE, She Wouldn’t be COUNTED As The Culprit At The Very Least, She’s Being a DUMBASS, Don’t Listen To Her...  …  Ken: I- … Y-YOU- … [Shakey Breathing] Y-You TWO- You BOTH Killed Her, You KILLED Her, W-Why…!? W-WHY Did YOU TWO *KILL* Her!? S-She- … W-WASN’T You CLOSE….!?

Y-YOU COULD’VE *STOPED* HER AND YET YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS SHIT ANYWAYS!? W-WHAT The HELL!? Y-YOU-  Ikeda: D-Didn’t She… ASK For It? I-I Was ONLY Doing WHAT SHE ASKED OF US, And NOW You’re Saying That We’re WRONG!? [Scoffs] W-WE’RE WRONG For Doing what She WANTED US TO DO!?  Tsuno: [Sharp Sighs] I- … W-WHAT!? Wh-What…. W-WHAT!?

F-For Me To Fucking CARE About Everyone ELSE, When Someone Was LITERALLY HANDING ME A Way To GET OUT Of This Shithole!?  I WANTED To GET OUT OF HERE. That’s ALLL There Is To It By The END Of The Day~!! I DIDN’T Want To DIE, So I PLAYED The Game, It’s ONLY NATURAL You Would WIN Though… [Shakey Sighs] I-It TRULY Was a SHAME Though… Isono’s Plan Was ACTUALLY Pretty Well Thought Out Once you THINK About It!! I DIDN’T Even Fucking KNOW *SHE* KNEW The Code All This Time, If ONLY Kamimura And Nishiguchi Kept LOYAL To The End Like How She Did~  Nishiguchi: I- … I- … Y-YOU- [Shakey Breathing] S-She- … S-She ACTALLY *ASKED* For You Two To… KILL HER!?

You COULD Call This A… [Lip Smacks] First Hand Account  Of The MURDER So… Y-Yeah, PRACTICALLY Whatever I’m Saying Is ALMOST *ONE HUNDRED PERCENT TRUE*~!! B-But… [Sighs] ANYWAYS, At SOME POINT Yesterday, I GUESS Miki Decided That SHE Wanted To Give Up Her Life For The Group, But She COULDN’T Just Have It Be A REGULAR Suicide, No~ Though, I Don’t Know WHY NOT *CONSIDERING* She Had ACCESS To The FUCKING Arsenal, B-But- … NONTHELESS, She DECIDED That She Needed Both ME And Masami To HELP Her In Her Little… Intrigueeee… A-And Masami, Wanting To SAVE Manami From This HELL, Agreed To WORK Alongside Her IN Her Plan!! They PROMISED To Meet Up A Bit Later And Bring ME Along Too! But… [Shakey Sighs] B-BEFORE We Get Into That, I-I Have You Know That Masami Was NEVER FULLY Comfortable With The Plan, OF COURSE She WASN’T, She WOULD RATHER Not MURDER ANYBODY, Untillllll… She FOUND A Little Something UNDER The Billiards Table, That LITTLE SOMETHING IS… [Shakey Laughter] NONE Of Your CONCERN For Now! But… Anyways The MAIN POINT Is [Lip Smacks] With The Little Something In On Her now, That Was ALL They Needed To Go Ahead And Put Their Plan Into Motion, Soooooo~ They DID EXACTLY That!!!, Miki Passed Masami The Code And Waited, THEN SHE Pulled ME OVER Into The Arsenal Were Miki Was Already There, To, Well… E-EXPLAN-...

Y-YOU ALWAYS **DOWNPLAY* EVERYTHING ,*EVERYTHING(!!! ALLLL OF YOU!!!! A-ARE YOU- … A-ARE YOU THAT FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!??? W-WHY Do You ALWAYS DO THAT!? EVEN I-IF I JUST *MURDERED* SOMEONE, You’re STILL- … W-WHY THE *HELL* ARE YOU STILL UPSET!!!? Y-YOU GOT EXACTLY *WHAT* YOU EXPECTED, So W-WHY ARE YOU CRYING- … [Shakey Laughter] G-God-...! T-That- … [Shakey Breathing] [Sniffles] ..  Ikeda: [Through Gritted Teeth] G-God.. T-This IS So STUPID, T-This Is SO FUCKING STUPID, W-WHY Am I SHAKING S-So MUCH, I-I Shouldn’t Be fucking SHAKEY, I-I Just- … I-I’m NOT SUPPOSED To… C-Care About ANY OF THIS SHIT, A-After I- …

I-I FUCKING *STRANGLED* HER TWICE, B-Because I Was TOO MUCH Of a FUCK UP To EVEN TO THAT CORRECTLY, S-She HAD To Get CHOAKED OUT *TWICE* B-Because *I* Was TOO *WEAK* T-To Even To THAT IN ONE GO!!!

ACT TWO: THE ONE TRUE WEAKESS OF THE RAT IN THE BAG

Coming Out... EVENTUALLY

Sasaki: [Sighs] A-Alright, WHO Are We Still Missing Exactly!? [Groans] JESUS CHRIST, *WHY* To People TAKE SO *LONG* To Head To TRIALS!? MURDER TRIALS!? C-Can’t They SEE That It’s IMPORTANT To Hurry!? They CAN’T Just DILLY DALLY *AROUND* Like This!!! 

Watari: Wellllllllllllll~ You Should PROBALLY *CUT* Some SLACK This Time Around, Sasaki… Their Friend’s DEAD.. Of COURSE They’re NOT EXACTLY Top Notch Today… Ken: [Shakey Sighs] Miki Was MY FRIEND TOO, I-I CARED About Her TOO, That DOESN’T Mean You Can Just… THROW The INVESTIGATION OR *REFUSE* TO INVESTAGAT PERIOD If You're INNOCENT, Watari, I-It Doesn’t MEAN Being Irresponsible Like This Is REASONABLE… J-Just Because Someone You CARED About DIED, Doesn’t Mean You Get To be SELFISH And Let The REST Carry The TRIAL For you-! W-When Did It EVER WORK Like THAT!? E-EVEN *I* Helped Investigate When KAZUTOSHI DIED, Y-You THINK *THIS SHIT* IS WORSE For THEM As THAT Was TO ME!!?? A-ATLEAST, I GOT To The DAMN TRIAL On TIME, They’re- 

Akiba: D-Dude, No One’s COMPARING What They FEEL To What YOU Were Feeling Back THEN, Ken... N-No One’s Comparing Or Downplaying SHIT, Ken, A-All She Was Sayin’ Was That THEY Were In a SHITTY Situation Here, That’s All!! She’s Not SAYING That They HAVE The RIGHT To be Dead Weights, You’re PROBALLY Fucking *WRONG* About That To BEGIN With, T-They’re- … [Shakey Sighs] T-They’re Probably Just Running a BIT late, Y’know? SURELY They Were INVESTIGATING The SAME As Us Probably, Y-You Can’t Just ASSUME They DIDN’T During Something As IMPORTANT As THIS, Yeah!? T-This Is a SHITTY Situation, And I GET THAT You’d Be RIGHTFULLY *PISSED* About IT, *I* Am TOO, B-But Like, T-This Is IMPORTANT, W-We Can Be PISSED… [clears Throat] A-AFTER We Find The Killer Here, Kay!? 

Ken: I- … [Shakey Breathing] R-Right… You’re- … you’re Probably Right, S-Sorry, This IS Just- … I-It’s MIKI That We’re TALKING About Though!! S-She’s Just- … S-She’s REALLY IMPORTANT To Me, T-That’s All!!! S-She- … [Shakey Sighs] S-She Really IS Important To Me…  Akiba: [Shakey Sighs] I-I Know, S-She Was- … S-She Was REALLY Important To ME Too, B-But- … [Chuckles] H-Hey!? ATLEAST We Know That We WILL Fucking KILL This Guy ONCE The Trial’s Over, That’s SOMETHING *TOO*, ISN’T It!!? You Could Say WHATEVER you WANT To The Killer Then!! And I KNOW You HAVE *SHIT* To Say In That Trial, Ken~ [Laughter] GIVE THEM *HELL*!  

Kamimura: [Scoffs] T-The FUCK!? Since When Did YOU Get So Goddamn CLOSE?! It’s Been ONE Investigation, Akiba. KNOCK IT OFF, [Grumbles] S-STOP *ACTING* So Damn BUDDY BUDDY For CHIST SAKES, I-It’s ANOYING… 

Akiba: Ugh, It's CALLED Fuckin' TRAMUA BONDING Actually... I-I Think That Happens?!

Ouno: [Giggles] D-D’awwwwww~!!! Toshi’s Getting SO DEFENSIVE Over His Boyfriend, I-It’s ALMOST Cute, R-Realllllly~!! Though... I Honestly DOUBT That Akiba’s ANYONE To WORRY About, He’s JUST Akiba! Not THAT Intimidating…  Kamimura: [Scoffs] I’m Not GETTING *DEFESTIVE*, You DUMBASS… We’re GOING Into A Fucking MURDER TRIAL, Could You At least PETEND You GAVE TWO SHITS ABOUT HER For ONCE, Ouno!!!?  Ouno: [Through Gritted Teeth] I-I NEVER SAID, That I DIDN’T [Shakey Sighs] Now, DID *I*!? I-I Just KNOW How INVESTAGATIONS *WORK* By NOW, A-And I THINK We ALL Know What’s Going To HAPPEN At The END Anyways…  T-They’re Going To DIE Always… 

Sasaki: … [Sighs] That’s What We HOPE, At The VERY LEAST, [Lip Smacks] B-But, It’s VERY LIKELY To Assume THAT Nonetheless, I-I Don’t Know WHY, B-But I THINK I Have High Hopes For This Trial Actually… [Shakey Breathing] P-P-Perhaps It’s Because… T-That’s What Miki Would’ve Wanted, S-She Wouldn’t WANT For Us To Mope Around,  I-I THINK We All Know That Much About Her, She’d WANT Us to Stay HOPEFUL Even now, S-She- … [Shakey Sighs] S-She ALWAYS Wanted The Best For Us, I-I Suppose… S-She Wouldn’t WANT to See Us Like This… Either... W-We SHOULD Be Determined that When The Trial Starts… 

Wada: [Shakey Breathing] I-It’s NOT ALWAYS *THAT* Easy To DO, S-She’s- … M-Miki’s STILL DEAD, S-Someone- … Someone KILLED Her, H-How Do You EXPECT Us To be DETERMINATED By THAT When She’s NEVER COMING BACK This TIME, Sasaki…!?  S-She’s- … [Shakey Cries] G-God, S-She’s ACTALLY Fucking- … T-THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN-! F-FUCK!  Ogura: [Shakey Sighs] T-The Majority Of These Weeks WASN’T Intended To HAPPEN Either… [Shakey Sighs] T-The Good Thing Is... We’re Together And We’re Free From That Godawful Ballroom Two Floors Above Us Currently… E-EVEN IF She’s GONE, AT LEAST W-We’ll Give Whoever DONE This Justice Though~  Airi: U-Uhm, SPEAKING Of Being TOGETHER, Actually, W-Where’s… Masami’s Other Two Siblings, Again!? A-Aren’t They… I-I DUNNO, A-A Bit EARLIER Than This, Usually!? W-When NOTHING Goes WRONG Of Course!! A-Aren’t They USUALLY Pretty Early!? W-Where Are- …  Tsuno: S-Sorry-!! Sorry-! S-SO Sorry For Being LATE, W-We Just- … [Nervous Laughter]  G-G-Got CAUGHT Up With Something!!! T-That’s It!! B-But- … [Clears Throat] B-But I’m HERE NOW, A-And I’m Ready For This!!!  … 

Matthias: S-Soooooo~ I-Is That Everyone, Now? You Think We Should Go Ahead And Have Monomoko Give Us A Hint Now? I-It’s- … [Shakey Sighs] I-It’s NOT Like We Have THAT MUCH To Waste Anyways, W-We Shouldn’t Really STAY Here Any Longer, Really… Nishiguchi? You’re The FAVORITE, So… M-May YOU Do The Honors Then???  Nishiguchi: I- … U-Um, S-SURE!? I-I Guess, I CAN, [Shakey Sighs] I-I Didn’t KNOW I Was KNOWN As The Fucking FAVORITE Now Though, [Scoffs] I THOUGHT That Was Going To STAY With MAEKAWA, B-But… [Sighs] WHATEVER, I-I GUESS…  HEY MOKIIIIIII!!!!!! DO ME A FAVOR AND GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!!!  

Monomoko: You Called?  Nishiguchi: [Sighs] DID You HEAR MY VOICE?! Then I OBVIOUSLY Called You Over, Then!!! [Scoffs] YOU- … Y-You REALLY *NEED* To Learn To STOP ASKIN’ That EVERY FUCKING TIME!! I-It GETS OLD, Seriously…  …  Nishiguchi: ANYWAYS, BACK On Topic… [Shakey Sighs] We NEED Your HINT, And THEN We Need To START The Trial, Okay!? Could You Do That For Us? Please!? 

Monomoko: Of Course, You Do Not Need To Beg, However… I-I Feel Like This pointer Will Be Quite Disappointing Actually… Eight Out Of The... Fifteen Of You And Of Course, The Victim.. KNOW More About The Murder Case then They Let On Or Appear To Know And Yet They STILL Refused To Say It During The Investigation. Whether It’s To Protect Themselves, The Blackened Or The Victim Herself, They STILL Choose To Keep This Hidden And Most Of Them, Are STILL Planning To Hide It, So During This Trial, You Should Really Think Twice On Every Claim. Who Knows If It's True Or Not?  When the elevator arrives, you may board. Goodbye And Good luck…  Sasaki/Watari/Akiba/Ouno/Kumada/Ken/Mai: W-WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!???  Matthias: [Shakey Breathing] A-Ah… A-AH!??? I-I-I’m Sorry!? D-Did You- … D-DID You JUST Say *EIGHT PEOPLE*!!!?? E-EIGHT People KNEW A LOT About The MURDER A-And They- … T-THEY’RE JUST  *HIDDING* Those Things From Us!!!??? T-That’s MORE Than The Bleeding!!!!  Mai: T-That’s- … G-GOD DAMNIT!! T-That’s ALMOST FUCKING HALF OF US!!!

Ogura: T-This- … [Whimpers] T-THAT MEANS This Trial I-IT’S- … T-THE COURT WILL BE SPLIT IN TWO!!!!??? I-IS- … I-IS THIS *TRUE*!!??? T-That’s- … G-GAH!! The Rabbit’s ALWAYS RIIIGHT!!!

I-If THEY STILL Hid That Shit EVEN AFTER SHE DIED, T-Then…. D-Do You REALLLLLY Think The TRUTH Is Going To COME OUT *THAT* EASY~!? [Snickers] Guess We’re Having ONE MORE Fucking PARTY Before We ALL *DIE*, All Of Us but The CUPRIT Of Course~!!

T-This IS So- … M-Miki DIED And We- … G-God, This Is So FUCKING STUPID… !!! Airi: T-That’s- … C-CAN’T We *ALL* JUST TELL THE TRUTH NOW!!!!!??? P-PLEASE!?  Watari: I-If They DIDN’T Tell US During The Damn INVESTAGATION Of ALL THINGS, T-Then…. [Shakey Breathing] G-God… [Gags] W-We’re DOOMED…  …

Ouno: [Shakey Breathing] A-Are We ACTUALLY Gonna- … [Whimpers] G-GOD…. T-This Is Going To be So HARDDDDDDD…. How Could We Even SOLVE S-Something While We're LIKE THIS…!? Kamimura: I-I- ... [Clears Throat] Well, That SHIT’S Pretty Fucking Easy Actually, It TAKES A LIAR To KNOW A LIAR, And I Just So HAPPEN To Be One Out Of The SEVEN People The Rabbit’s Talking About, I-I -….. [Shakey Breathing] I-I KNOW ALOT Of Shit About This Case… I-I’m SURE Hayashi And Sasaki ALREADY Knows About SOME Of It, B-But Like… [Sighs] What You DON’T KNOW Is THAT I ALSO Know AT LEAST Two Others Who Are ACTUALLY LYING To You, That’s THREE Out Of The SEVEN- [Shakey Sighs] N-No Wait…. Actually, Counting Miki, That’s FOUR Out Of The Eight ALREADY, That's HALF… So Stop ACTING SO HOPELESS Already, I’m GOING TO SOLVE This SHIT WITH OR WITHOUT You Dumbasses, TRUST Me, I’ll EXPLAN When We Get To The Trial. Come on, I’M Not Fucking WAITING Any Longer.... We're NOT DYING Like THIS, Miki Would SEROUSLY *HATE* US... If SO...

"Wolves have teeth like daggers. Little Red is no match for something like that."

 "Wolves are fast, they have claws, they're intelligent, they hunt. Little Red is just a kid. All she has is the path."

"I'm a believer in the idea that children are better off before they've grown. Before they've seen what the world can do to people.

"Before they understand that evil exists without reason.Some people simply hurt other people. Maybe it's fun for them. Maybe they gain something from it."

"Children wander through the world without knowing that. Children wander off the path with no thought to the fact that these woods are home to wolves."

"When I see myself irs Little Red… perhaps I'm being optimistic. To see myself as someone who still has the chance to follow the path, someone who still has the chance to go back and avoid wandering into the woods."

"The truth is…their claws are already buried in my back. The truth is…I'm already covered in bite marks. They go down to the bone. They stay there."

B-But… It Makes More Sense TO Hide Evidence In Less Populated Rooms No Matter WHAT Though… I-I Guess The Culprit Must've Went This Way… The Only Other Way They’d Get To The Office Was Going Through The Ballroom, A-And… [Shakey Sighs] That WOULD Be Completely And Utterly Illogical So… A-At least We Know The Culprit Would’ve Passed The Storage Room And Dressing Room, A-And Went Through The Service Hall, The Billiards Room A-And The BAR At The Very Least… Though, I-I Think That’s Obvious..  Akiba: I- … [Shakey Sighs] J-Jesus Fucking CHIRST, T-That’s- … WAS The KILLER *THAT* Fucking SNEAKY Or THAT Fucking *INNOCENT* Lookin’ That Literally NO ONE Found ANYTHING About Them DASHING To The Office Suspicious AT ALL!!??  Ken: W-Well, Theoretically… Why Can’t It Be Both Someone Trusted And Convert? I-It’ll Make Sense C-Considering…. [Shakey Sighs] T-This ENTIRE Case So Far… B-But Despite THAT, There’s Still- … There’s STILL Something That’s Really Bugging Me, Honestly….

Akiba: I- … Oh!? And That THING That’s Bugging You ISSSSSSS… [Lip Smacks] WHAT, Exactly, Again!? I’m YOUR Investigation Partner, And SINCE I’ve KINDA Been Fucking DEADWEIGHT This ENTIRE Investigation REALLY, You Could ATLEAST Lay THAT On Me, I-I Could Get It To… Y’know? STOP Bugging YOU, I’mmmm- … I THINK I’m Pretty Good With THAT At The VERY LEAST-  Ken: I- … A-Akiba!! Y-You- … Y-You WEREN’T *DEAD WEIGHT* During This Investigation!!! If I- … [Lip Smacks] YOU Were The One Who FOUND The Note with The CODE On It In The FIRST PLACE, You Were VERY IMPORTANT To This Investigation!!  Akiba: I- … [Chuckles] I-I- … I MEAN, *YOU* PROBALLY Could’ve Figured THAT Shit On Your OWN Though, You’re… A REALLY Smart Guy Afterall, You’re A Fuckin’ GENUIS, Even, So… I-I WOULDN’T Really SAY That *I* Did ANYTHING At ALL Honestly… [Sighs] B-But WHATEVER, I-I’m STILL Pretty Flattered Hearing THAT Come Out Of THE QUIZ SHOW CHAMP, But…[Lip Smacks] Lay That Shit On Me, Man~      Ken: U-Um… S-So Practically… Last Night, A-About Fifteen To… Twenty Minutes Before…. T-The Body Discovery, Maybe!?? [Shakey Sighs] SOMEWHERE Around That Time Span At The Very Least, I-It Was… [Shakey Breathing] A-ALMOST MINUTES Before Sasaki Pulled Me Off, But… [Shakey Breathing] M-Miki She- … S-She Was IN The Dressing Room, I-I Was TALKING To HER A-A FEW *MINTIES* BEFORE She APPARENTLY Wondered  Off And DIED, B-But- … T-The Time Line- … I-It’s NOT MAKING ANY SENSE!!! R-Really!! T-That- … I-I Don’t THINK She Would HAVE TIME TO Die Within That TIME SPAN… I-I Mean… F-For HER To Meet Up With Someone ELSE A-And DIE In THAT Short Line Of Time, You- … I-It’s UNREALISTIC… T-That’s Not- … I-It’s Just NOT POSSIBLE, Okay!? 

Akiba: Pff- … W-What The HELL, Are You- … Are You TRYING To Imply That- … [Sighs] W-Welllllll~! That CAN’T Be TRUE, OBVIOUSLY They HAD *TIME* To KILL HER, Right!? If NOT She WOULDN’T Be DEAD Right Now, They CLEARLY *HAD* TIME… Maybe She Was Just TOLD To Meet Up A-A Bit… AFTER She Talked To You Or Some Shit!?  Ken: B-But- [Shakey Breathing] I-I REALLY Don’t Think That That’s IT, R-Really… S-She- … S-SHE *STILL* Can’t Get KILLED THAT *QUICKLY* I-I Think, Wouldn’t The Murder Be More… MESSY If They Had THAT LITTLE Time To Hide Evidence!? W-Wouldn’t It Be A Bit More… I-I Don't know, OBVIOUS??  Akiba: … [Lip Smacks] W-Well… I-I Mean, We KNOW They ALWAYS *HAD* A Short Amount Of TIME To HIDE Evidence, With Her Being WARM And Stuff, A-Are You SURE That This Is IMPOSSIBLE!? A-Are You SURE That SHE Was MIKI?  Ken: I- … I-I Mean-… W-Wait… WHY The HELL Would I LIE About THAT!? S-She- … T-That Was CLEARLY Miki, She- … S-She Was ACTING Just LIKE Her, Talking JUST LIKE Her, S-She HAD All Her Mannerisms, KNEW Things Only ME And Her Would Know And I-I Even SEEN Her Shoes From underneath The Door, T-That’s- … [Shakey Breathing] Akiba: W-Well, I- … [Shakey Sighs] Y-You THINK That That PERSON You Were TALKING To Was ACTUALLY The Ultimate Imp-  Ken: [Shakey Sighs] N-No That- ... H-How Could SHE *POSSIBLY* Know What Me, Kazutoshi And MIKI Were Talking About Days Ago...!? S-She Refenced- Monomoko: Attention Students, The Time Allocated For Your Investigation Has Ended. Please Report To The Trial Elevator Immediately, Your Trial Will Begin Shortly. …  Akiba: [Shakey Laughter] G-G-God Fucking DAMNIT, T-That’s- … That’s JUST *OUR* Luck I GUESS, F-First Miki- … [Shakey Sighs] A-And NOW-  Ken: [Clears Throat] W-We Should- … W-We Should PROBALLY Get Going, The- … The FASTER We Get The Trial Started, The Faster We Could Find The Culprit A-And… [Shakey Sighs] S-She Would WANT That Above Everything Else…

Kumada: [Scoffs] INVESTAGATING The *BAR* Of All Places Is Fucking USELESS, WASN’T Like- … [Sighs] I-I Don’t Fuckin’ Know… It Was POPULATED When *I* Was Here, I’m GUESSING That Stayed The Same Then!!? WAS this Place POPULATED, Mutsuko!? Wouldn’t Someone NOTICE The SECOND Something’s OFF With It!? Nishiguchi: [Sighs] Well, I KNOW *AIRI* Would KNOW, She Was LITERALLY *HERE* When Isono Got MURDERED, So I DOUBT SHE WOULDN'T Notice, ESPECALLY If They Were HIDING Evidence IN THE ROOM With Her…  Kumada: I- … [Sighs] SO THIS ROOM *IS* FUCKING USELESS THEN!!!?? G-God!! W-WHAT The HELL!? Why Are The Leaving US With The ONLY ROOM With No EVIDENCE!? You're A FANTASTIC Investigator!!!   Nishiguchi: Pff- … And Do You THINK The BALLROOM Has ANY Fucking EVIDENCE EIHTER!? [Chuckles] I-I Don’t THINK SO, AT LEAST We're Investigating a Room That Has SOME SORT OF A CHANCE For EVIDENCE! Now Come ON, [Sighs] Search ANYWAYS, The Culprit CLEARLY Thought This Out, MAYBE They Just… Placed Something Here BEFORE… Right!? 

Kumada: I- … I- … I-I GUESS!? I-I Just- … [Sighs] W-Whatever, This IS For AKI ANYWAYS, Though I DOUBT Anything’s GOING To be Here, If They KNEW HOW to UNLOCK That STUPID DOOR, Then They’re PROBALLY Not a Fucking DUMBASS, Right!!? I-I Mean, You Guys Were Going Through HELL Trying To GET THAT DOOR Open, So Like… [Lip Smacks] FOR THEM To Just, GET IT Open As EASY As THAT And Fucking MURDER *IN* THE ROOM Without Anyone NOTICING,  They HAD To Be… SMART, RIGHT?! Cuz’ It Been a GODDAMN WEEK, And NO ONE *KNEW* JACKSHIT About It!!! That… CAN’T Just Be… LUCK Or WHATEVER…  Nishiguchi: I- … [Shakey Breathing] R-Right, You’re- … Y-Yeah! Yeah! Since… [Nervous Laughter]  NOBODY *KNEW* About That ROOM, O-Of Course It’s Either… They KEPT It a Fucking SECRET From Us SOMEHOW, O-Or Like- … They DEFINITELY Kept That Shit A SECRET, Yeah… I’m [Lip Smacks] PRETTY Sure THAT’S OBVIOUS, But…  MAYBE, WHOEVER Kept That Shit To Themselves, HAS SOME SORT OF REASON, R-Right!? I Mean, IT’LL *BE* Fucked UP If NOT-  Kumada: Duh, They CLEARLY *HAD* A Damn REASON, I-It WAS TO FUCKING HER!!! *CLEARLY* Whoever KEPT THIS A SECRET, KEPT IT In ORDER To KILL SOMEBODY [Scoffs] T-They PROBALLY Was Just Going To LEAVE Her To Fucking ROT In THERE If THEY *HAD* TIME, [Sighs] T-THANK *GOD* They FORGOT To UNLOCK That Damn DOOR… I-I Don’t Even WANT To KNOW What The HELL They Were PLANING To DO With HER BODY If It WASN’T DISCOVERED THERE…  Nishiguchi: [Scoffs] T-THEY Were P-PROBALLY PLANING To DO  *NOTHING* To Her, WHY Would You RUN AWAY From The Body If You Were Planning To FUCK With It!? CLEARLY, If You WANTED TO AVOID SUSIPISON, They'd DO IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE! Wouldn’t They!?  Kumada: I-I Mean-... ARE YOU TELLING ME The Killer Just- … T-They Just- … [Shakey Sighs] T-THEY JUST Wanted Her Body To Be… CLEAN Or SOME SHIT!? L-Like … SERIOUSLY!? WHY!?   Nishiguchi: I- I Mean, WASN’T *MY* Body Supposed To Be CLEAN TOO!? [Shakey Sighs] I-IT Was PROBALLY Some WERID ASS SIGN Of Respect Like What NORIKO Did Or Whatever… She’s ISONO, Of COURSE They’d RESPECT Her, EVERYONE Respects Her, S-She LITERALLY *HAS NEVER* Angered ANYBODY, It Only MAKES SENSE That They'd DO That For Her!  Kumada: I- I -... I KNOW THAT Shit, B-But She- … B-BUT ATLEAST WITH *YOU* YOU WERE FUCKING *GREY*, [Scoffs] Y-YOU *HAD* N WOUNDS AT THE VERY LEAST, S-She Had- … ISONO HAD *NONE*!!!  Nishiguchi: Isono Didn’t HAVE ANY Because The ROOM Was Fucking DARK, ERINA!  Did You Even SEE Her Body In The FIRST Place!? EXACTLY, There’s PROBALLY Wounds, But That Room’s USUALLY *PITCH DARK* Anyways, Sasaki NEEDED To Use a FLASHLIGHT To Even DISCOVER Her BODY In The FIRST PLACE…  Kumada: I- … EH!? So Like, They ACTUALLY Killed Her In The DARK, Then?! H-How The FUCK- … Y-You Think The Killer Was HIDING In There Or Some Shit Then!!!?? Is THAT What You’re SAYING, I-I Mean… HONESTLY, With a Room SO DARK That You COULDN’T Even Fucking DISCOVER The Body In It,  You COULD *PROBALY* Do THAT Preeetttty Easily-  Nishiguchi: [Scoffs] No Way In HELL THAT HAPPENED… That Room’s Fucking SMALL, There’s BARELY ANY HIDDING Spaces And The SECOND She OPENED The Door, She’ll SEE Them. They PROBALLY Came In The Room TOGETHER. Kumada: I- … Tsk, H-HOW THE HELL Do you KNOW That ABOUT THE ROOM, Huh!? I-It COULD Be A LARGE ROOM!!! A-And There COULD be Hiding Spots!!! [Through Gritted Teeth]  A-And BESIDES… T-THIS Is CLEARLY A Fuckin’  *DAIKI* Murder ANYWAYS… N-No Like, ACTALLY *THINK* About IT For a Second, It’s a VERY PROBABLE Theory, ISN’T IT!? L-Like, He’s a Fucking ASSHOLE AND He’s a Massive LIAR, So! If ANYONE Would LIE About NOT Having ACCESS TO That STUPID ROOM… I-IT’LL BE HIM, DUH! That's Obvious! [Lip Smacks] AND If ANYBODY Would Be FINE With Waiting In There FOR Isono And Sneaking UP On Her Without Getting CAUGHT IN That Room, It’ll Be HIM, He’s The MASTER Of Locked, DARK, MAYBE SMALL  Rooms Afterall… I-It Was PROBALLY Just Like Home For HIM…  … 

Nishiguchi: [Shakey Sighs] I-If It Was JUST LIKE HOME For Him, WHY Would He POSSIBLE Stay In There For MORE Than NEEDED!? H-He Was Fuckin’ UNCOMFOTABLE With The CALM Room, Of COURSE He’ll Be Uncomfortable THERE, He Wouldn’t Fucking HIDE OUT In THERE OF All PLACES! A-And Besides, JUST BECAUSE Someone KNEW The Code, DOESN’T Mean They’re The CUPRIT Really, Just Because THEY *HID* It From EVERYONE *DOESN’T* Mean That It WAS FOR THE MURDER…  Kumada: [Scoffs] T-THEN WHAT ELSE WAS THE GODDAMN REASON, HUH!!!? W-WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM SO MUCH!!!??? Why Are You DEFENDING THE CUPRIT!? He WOULD Lie About THAT FUCKING DOOR CODE TO MURDER HER When NEEDED!!! No One Would ELSE But That BITCH Who KILLED HER Would be THAT SELFISH!!! W-Why ELSE WOULD You BE That MUCH Of a ASSHOLE To HIDE IT!? They HID It FOR The MURDER, AND Obviously It Was THEM Who-

Sasaki: [Shakey Breathing] … I-It Just Looks Like- … I-It Looks Like She’s STILL Alive… S-She Looks So… C-Clam… [Shakey Sighs] G-God… Out Of EVERYBODY Left… W-WHY Did It HAVE To Be Her… W-Why Did *SHE* Have To Be The VICTIM, W-What Did She-  Mai: …Well, We’ll FIGURE That OUT *WHEN* We FIND The Culprit, THEN You Could ASK That Asshole YOURSELF, B-But For Now- … [Shakey Sighs] J-Just Focus On INVESTIGATING Her… T-That’s What… ISONO Would Probably WANT You To Do Anyway… 

Sasaki: I- … [Sighs] R-Right, Right, T-That’s- … [Clears Throats] T-That’s PROBALLY The BEST Thing To Do Right Now, Yes…. Kamimura? May You To The Honors?  Kamimura: [Sighs] SURE, SURE Whatever, Yeah... I Was GOING To Do ThatAnyways.. Well, Uh, To START Before We LOOK For Wounds And Shit, She OBVIOUSLY *DIED SMILING* Which Is… CLEARLY Fucking WERID Too Considering She Was DYING, But Other Than THAT, She WAS INFACT STILL Smiling And… I Guess WHOEVER Killed Her Was QUITE… Careful With Her Body Too, I-I Mean… I’m PRETTY SURE That Shit’s Clears Though Thanks To The Lack Of-  Sasaki: Wounds, There’s NO VISIBLE Wounds On Her Body At All, Which Is [Lip Smacks] S-SMART Of The Culprit, I SUPPOSE!!!? I-It’s USUALLY Idea To HIDE Wounds If you CAN, I Believe…  The QUESTION *IS*... H-How Could You Hide Her WOUNDS This Well-  Mai: I- … Wait, That’s- … No There’s- … Those Wounds Are DEFINITELY *NOT* Fuckin' HIDDEN!  Look They Put Her Damn Choker On BACKWARDS, So LOGICALLY, They Were CLEARLY COVERING UP HER NECK FOR That EXACT REASON-  Sasaki: Hm!? You THINK She Was Strangled, Hayashi!? Y-You Think That’s It!?  Kamimura: I- … N-NO, I THINK It’s PRETTY Fucking EASY To TELL That She WAS STRANGGLED, LOOK At Her NECK, J-Jesus CHRIST- … T-That’s- … That’s WHERE Her FUCKING JACKET Probably WENT, That’s For Sure, T-They- … That HAS To be The MURDER Weapon, There’s No ROPES In Here, And KUMADA Was a DUMBASS And GOT Rid Of ALL The Table Cloths And Shit Like THAT So-  Sasaki: S-SO You THINK She Was MURDERED By Her DAMN *JACKET* THEN!!? T-That’s- … That’s UNREAL!!! T-That’s- .. D-Does It HAVE To Me THAT, There’s No OTHER Object That COULD be USED To Make a Bruise Like THAT ONE, I-It- … [Shakey Sighs] I-It HAS to Be THAT!? H-Her JACKET Was ON HER, Right!? Are You TELLING Me They Took Her Jacket And CHOKER OFF And Then STRANGLED Her!? Isn’t That COMPLETELY Fucking ILLOGICAL To DO!? Even If It WAS Dark She’ll NOTCE Them Taking Her Jacket off, RIGHT!?  Mai: [Sighs] If She TRUSTED Them ENOUGH To Go In The Fucking ASRENAL *ALONE* With Them, Then CLEARLY She’ll Trust Them ENOUGH To Give Them Her Jacket, THAT’S What Happen, Right!? She Was Ambushed And Strangled To Death, [Shakey Sighs] S-She Was… PROBALLY Thinking About The FACT The Motive Would END Thanks To Her Dying, A-And… [Shakey Breathing] T-That Was The Thing That CAUSED Her To… [Clears throat] D-D-Die With a Smile… 

Sasaki: I- … M-Miki- It- … [Shakey Breathing] It CAN’T Just Be THAT SIMPLE, Right!? W-When Someone’s STRANGLED, T-They- …  [Clears Throat] W-When Someone Gets Strangled, Their Hands… Instinctively Fly To Their NECK, CORRECT!? But There’s NO STRATCHES On Her Neck, Like, AT ALL FROM THAT, It’s JUST That BRUISE From Said Strangulation, But IF She Was STRANGLED And There’s ACTUALLY No Scratches To be FOUND Then- …  Mai: [Shakey Sighs] T-Then She PROBALLY *DIDN’T* Actually FIGHT BACK Against The Killer AT ALL *EVEN* Then... Even WHEN The Culprit Was Fucking MURDERDERING Her, She STILL Didn’t Even- … [Shakey Breathing] S-She- … She Didn't Even TRY To Put Up SOME SORT Of fight ... Kamimura: I- … [Lip Smacks] I THINK That’s PROBABLY TRUE, Yeah, I-It’s MOST Likely That She- … [Shakey Breathing] I-It- … It REALLY Makes The MOST SENSE Once You THINK About It… M-Miki She- … I-If ANYONE Would Be ACCEPTING OF DEATH AT That TIME… I-It-  [Shakey Sighs] F-Fuck, We ALL KNOW That Out Of EVERYONE She- … S-She WOULD Be The MOST… Willing To Die Last Night, I-I Guess!?  Sasaki: [Shakey Laughter] God… S-So- … Are You TELLING Me That She Was Just- … S-She Was Just *FINE* With Fucking DYING LIKE THAT!!?? S-She- … [Shakey Gasps] W-Wait- What The- … W-What The HELL…!? What Is- … T-There’s SOMETHING *ELSE* On Her NECK!!  I- … I-I- … W-WHAT IS THAT!? Mai: I- … W-What The FUCK!!? Those- .. A-Are Those   FINGERPRINTS Why- … I-If The KILLER USED Her Fucking JACKET To KILL HER, Why And HOW Did They GRIP Her Neck FIRST!!?? A-Are You SAYING They GRIPED Her FUCKING NECK, Tried To STRANGLE He , And THEN Just… STOPED!? W-What The HELL!? What Was STOPPING HER From RUNNING AWAY THEN!? When The Killer LET GO, It’s NOT Like She STILL Didn’t KNOW That They Were MURDERING Her, They LITERALLY JUST TIRED TO FUCKING *KILL* HER!!! And It’s NOT LIKE They Could SWITCH QUICKLY, She HAD ENOUGH Time!!! S-So What The FUCK Even HAPPENED!!?? The FUCK Did They NEED To Make EVERY Thing HARDER For Themselves When They COULD’VE Just… STRANGLED Her Right There And THEN!? WHY HESITATE!? 

Sasaki: P-PERHAPS… [Shakey Sighs] D-Did- … Did She- … W-Was She ALREADY Unconscious When The Jacket Was USED On Her Then!? C-Could THAT Be It!? I-I Mean, CLEARLY She WOULD’VE FOUGHT Back As SOON As the Culprit HESITATED, RIGHT!?  S-She- … S-SHE *WOULDN’T* Just GIVE UP Like THAT, I-I Mean, HER CHANCE WAS RIGHT THERE, W-WHY Would She-  Kamimura: W-Wait a Second... Okay, So… Like, Let’s SAY For SOME Bullshit Reason, She Was ACTUALLY On The Floor Like THIS ALREADY, Yeah!? The KILLER Was In front Of Her Like This,  All They NEEDED To DO Was Fucking STRANGLE Her Right Then But… These Are REALLY SUPERFICIAL, NO WAY In HELL That She Was Even CLOSE To Dying With Something Like That Compared To The JACKET Bruise, So My THEORY Is… What IF The CUPRIT Was EITHER TOO Goddamn WEAK To KILL Her THAT Way, OR *COULDN’T* BARE Looking At Their FACE *WHILE* THEY MURDERED Her, So… OBVIOUSLY They HAD To SWITCH To The Jacket In ORDER To Finish Her OFF… G-God!! [Grumbles] CHIST, That STILL LEAVES SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THOUGH, W-What The HELL!? T-This Who CASE Is So- … I-It’s SO FUCKING STUPID, BARELY *ANY* Of It MAKES SENSE, LOGICALL SENSE A-And- [Groans] W-WHAT The *FUCK* Even IS THIS CASE!!!?? H-HOW Did The KILLER Even GET IN HERE With MIKI!!?  …  Sasaki: I- … W-Who Wouldn't KNOW HOW To Even STRANGLE Someone CORRECTLY In The FIRST PLACE!?  …  Mai:[Shakey Sighs] Better QUESTION Is: Why The FUCK  Did She STILL ALLOW THEM TO STRANGLE Her..

Wada: [Shakey Sighs] H-Honestly I- …II-I Doubt that There’s Going To Be Anything UP Here, Really… We MOSTLY Just Ignored The Stage Up Until Now From What *I* Could Tell… H-Has ANYBODY Been Up Here Since Watari And Matthias First Investigated It, Really?  Airi: Hmmmm… W-Well, ACTALLY, I-I’m NOT Really Sure! It HAS Been Pretty Empty Now That I THINK About It, B-But… In INVESTIGATIONS, That’s Actually a REALLY Good Thing, Isn’t It!? USUALLY The Killer Would HIDE Stuff In Places That's BEEN Ignored, Y’know? That’s Just… LOGICAL… I Think… MAYBE Something IS Up Here Then… C-Come Onnnn! CHECK With Me, Masami! Check With Me!!! You’re The MOST EXPERIACED And You AGREED To INVESTIGATE For Now, Remember? You PROMISED!!  Wada: R-Right, I Guess That’s TRUE, I’ll Check The BACKSTAGE While You Check The ACTUAL Stage, I-I Suppose… Tell Me If You Find Anything. 

Airi: Yep! Yep! ON IT Boss~!!! While We Investigate Thoughhhhhhh… How About YOU Give ME Your Alibi?? I-I Didn’t Really… SEE YOU, At ALL Last Night Honestly, Butttt… I GUESS No one Really SAW ME, Also… [Lip Smacks] S-So Go Ahead! Don’t Keep Me Waiting~!!  Wada: [Shakey Sighs] U-Um…. I-I Was- … I-I Was- … I-I Needed To Be Somewhere…. Quiet, S-So… I Was Just… I-In One Of The Fitting Rooms Mostly, No One Would NOTICE If I’m There, If They Came Into The Dressing Room, S-So… Y-Yeah, I Just Stayed In There For MOST Of The Night Up Until The Body Was Discovered.  Airi: I- … O-Oh, I See… I See… Not PARTICALLY *AIRTIGHT* Unless Someone ACTUALLY Saw You Go IN There, B-But- … [Sighs] I SUPPOSE *MY* Alibi Is Just As SHANDY S-So… I Was JUST At The Bar, Talking To Ran, Y’know? Even THOUGH He’s NOT Here Right Now, He STILL Deserves To KNOW Stuff~!!! [Giggles] And HAS His Best Friend *I* Have Taken It Up To Myself To be HIS Little News reporter Too!!! S-So… Yeah! Don’t Worry, Ran’s Still Getting Updated. 

Wada: O-Oh… Really? T-That- … [Sighs] I-I USED To Do That With… M-Miki Too… K-Keeping HER Updated, I mean… [Chuckles] I-I’m GLAD He’s Still Hearing From You At The Very Least Though, I- … I-I THINK He’ll Like That- … U-Um! Anyways, I Don’t Really THINK there’s Anything Backstage, Which Is Well, STRANGE Considering The Amount Of HIDDING Spots The Killers Had Back Here… B-But I GUESS, It’d Be Prettyyyyyyyy HARD To ACTALLY Sneak OVER Here Without Getting Caught, I-I’m Pretty Sure…  Airi: U-Uh! Yeah! I GUESS That DOES Make Sense, If People Notice You Going IN The Ballroom No Matter WHAT, They’ll Definitely Notice You Going Back- [Gasps] ISONO’S JACKET!!!?? W-Why- … D-DID THE KILLER TAKE HER JACKET OFF HER BODY OR WAS  IT GIVEN TO HER KILLER!!!??  Wada: I- .. H-Huh!? Her- … H-Her- …. S-Someone STOLE Her- … [Shakey Breathing] W-Why Would Anyone- … H-Hey Airi, Hand That To Me Real Quick, I-I Wanna Check Something.  Airi: I- … U-Um, Sure!! I-I GUESS That’s Fine, B-But- … May I Ask Why, Though!? It Just SEEMS Like Her Jacket, I Don’t THINK The Killer Messed With It Or Something Like That, T-They HAD No Purpose In Doing That At Least …  Wada: I-I Know, But… No One WAS ON The Stage, Right!? The Killers MUST Have Some Sort Of A Reason For Hiding It, S-So It’ll Be Better To Check- Airi: [Gasps] W-WAIT!! H-Hold- … HOLD Both Of The Sleeves Out For a Second- [Yelps] F-FUCK!! T-That’s Why- … That’s WHY We DIDN’T See- … T-THE SLEEVE IS STRETCHED… [Whimpers] M-Masami, WHY Is The SLEEVE Like That, I-If She DIDN’T Fight BACK, T-Then Her SLEEVE Wouldn’t Be Pulled THAT HARD For THIS To Happen S-So-  Wada: [Shakey Breathing] T-That’s- … T-That’s The Murder Weapon… A-Around Her Neck, I-It Was- …  Airi: [Shakey Sighs] O-Oh…  So- … S-So That’s What… Happened… [Clears Throat] S-Should We Take This? I-I Mean, That Might Be... T-The Murder Weapon S-So-... Wada: G-G-Give It To Me, Can I- ... S-She'll Probably Want Me To Wear It, And It's Evidence Now, Gimme. Airi: R-Right... That's- ... Okay, that's Fine... T-That's- ... That's Probably Important... ... Airi: S-So... The Killer, They HAD To be In Here For a Few Seconds, Right? To Hide The Jacket On The Stage, I Mean... They MAY Not Have Gotten Caught, But... T-That's What Had To HAPPEN... Right? ... Airi: R-R-Right, Masami? ... Wada: [Shakey Sighs] N-No One ACTALLY Saw Then Probably... They're PROBALLY Really Stealthy...

You Gained Clues!: ✨. May I Have a Jacket~?

Tsuno: [Shakey Sighs] A-A-Alright, This Is Our… H-How Long Has It Been?? I-I THINK It’s Our Seventh Investigation Counting Both Games, W-Which Is… Alot, B-But… [Nervous Laughter] N-No Worries!!! I-It’s JUST The Kitchen, I’m SURE *WE* Could Handle It!!! Y’know? I-I FEEL Like We Get Picked To Investigate The Kitchen ALOT Actually, S-So I’m PROBALLY Used To Knowing The Important Spots To Check At THIS POINT Anyways~! I-It… MIGHT Be Pretty Easy To DO Now Actually-  Ikeda: Wellllll~ I Don’t REALLY Think It MATTERS, Anyways, Afterall~ 'The Culprit' WASN’T In Here To HIDE SHIT~ Or, Well, I Mean, LOGICALLY 'The Killer' Would Head STRAIGHT To The Ballroom, Yes!? It Gives you a FREE ALIBI While You Wait For The Body To Get Discovered~!!! Afterall~ The GREATEST Thing You NEED For a Murder To Go SMOOTHLY *IS* An ALIBI, Or That’s What *I* Would’ve Done Of Course~ 

Tsuno: A-Ah! Well, I Mean, Now That I THINK About Itttt- [Gasps] O-Oh My GOSH!! [Giggles] D’aw! THAT’S ACTUALLY a REALLY, REALLLLY Smart Theory, Daiki~!! The Ballroom IS Definitely A FREE ALIBI Here, Methinks!!! You Think The Killer ACTUALLY Did that, Orrrr~  Do You THINK They ACTUALLY Done The OPPOSITE, I-It’s…. USUALLY The Opposite, Y’know? Usually Killers DON’T Have Air Tight Alibis…  Ikeda: [Sighs] W-Well, It’s OBVIOUS, that ‘This One’ HAS Some SORT Of Alibi, While NOT PARTICULARLY Airtight, Considering That They Entered SECNODS Before The Fucking BODY DISCOVERY… Which Was… OBUOSLY Fucking STUPID Of ‘The Culprit’... B-But WHATEVER… It’s STILL An Alibi For Now~ 

Tsuno: Hmmm… Y-Yeah, Yeah, It IS Some Sort Of Alibi, You’re RIGHT About That! A-ALL We PROBALLY Need To DO Is ASK The Ballroom Gang WHO Came in The Ballroom LAST And THEN KABAM, Suspect~!!!!  Ikeda: [Snickers] I-It’s GOING To Be a BIT Awkward CONSIDERING *I* Was The Last To Ether That Stupid Fucking BALLROOM Afterall~ It Was JUST Me, And I Entered About… A FEW Minutes Before They Aoncement Actually, Sasaki, Kamimura And Hayashi Were QUITEEEE Quick To Discover The Body Actually~!!  Does THAT Really Make Me a Damn SUSPECT Now, Detective Maaaaanami~???   Tsuno: I- … [Nervous Laughter] Pff- … N-No, NOO, Of COURSE *NOT*, That’s Just Some… Dumb Coincidence, You PROBALLY Came in a BIT Before she Was KILLED Anyways, SURELY You Would NEVER, EVER Kill Someone, Right Daiki?! And BESIDES, You DO Have An Alibi, ANYWAYS!! TONS Of People Could Confirm That YOU Were In The Ballroom, Afterall~!  Ikeda: Uh Huh… [Scoffs] SURE, Sure WHATEVER…. I-I’ll TAKE It, Even THOUGH We BOTH Agreed That MY Alibi Is a SHIT ONE ALREADY, Though~ 

Tsuno: W-Well… T-That’s- … T-That’s JUST Proves You’re INNOCENT, You HAD a… ROUGH Alibi And CALLED It Rough, You’re Self Aware, Not a MURDERDER, S-So… [Shakey Sighs] No Matter HOW SUSPICIOUS They Make You OUT To Be, N-No MATTER How Convince They ARE You Killed Her… [Clears Throat] *I-I* KNOW It’s NOT You, A-And I’ll DEFEND That Belief  With ALL *I* GOT, You UNDERSTAND!? TOGETHER, We WILL Get OUT Of That Trial- I’ll GET You TWO Out Of That Trial, I’ll DO What I PROMISED You I’ll Do, What *I* SAID Last Night, It STILL STANDS, It’ll ALWAY, STILL STAND, I’ll ALWAYS PROTECT You Two, E-Even… IF I MIGHT DIE In The Process, I’ll BELIEVE You The BITTER End~!! Pinky Promise!!!  Ikeda: [Scoffs] Y-You’re Being DRAMATIC, Manami… [Shakey Sighs] S-Seriously, You Won’t DIE For ME, You PROMISED Not To Fucking LEAVE ME EITHER, Didn’t You!? I-If You ACTUALLY Die For US Then… [Lip Smacks] You’ll Be…. B-BREAKING *THAT* Promise We HAD Too, YOU Know That Right!? If You PROMISE To Come HOME With US, J-Just To NOT To Because Of your GODDAMN HERO COMPLEX, I-I-If You DIE Because You THINK You NEED To SAVE Me, A-And LEAVE Me And Masami ALONE, T-Then… [Subdued Laughter] You MIGHT AS WELL Be *BREAKING* Our GODDAMN PROMISE YOURSELF, So… WHATEVER Happens In That Shitshow Of a Trial Let ME HANDLE EVERYTHING, Okay!?  Tsuno: I- … [Shakey Gasps] O-OUR… P-Promise….??? Y-You- … OUR Promise…. I-It’s- … [Clears Throat] Y-You- … You Promise TOO…?  Ikeda: [Sighs] You FORCED Me INTO This PACT, You DUMBASS… You Could CALL THAT a PROMISE Or WHATEVERR… B-But Just KNOW, I-I DON’T Want You To Do SOMETHING STUPID And Fucking DIE Here Or Some Shit, N-No One DOES, BUT You’d PROBALLY *LISTEN* To ME The Most, So PROMISE Me THIS, Will YOU!? WHATEVER Happens In That Fucking TRIAL, Do NOT *DEFEND* My ASS *WITHOUT* Evidence, I’LL *DEAL* With It MYSELF… I ALWAYS DEAL With SHIT Like THIS MYSELF, If THEY *ACUSE* Me, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT… You’re NOT Making ENEMIES *THIS* LATE INTO THE GAME, OKAY!? A-And YOU’RE NOT Going To DO Some STUPID *SHIT* You’ll REGRET Later And End Up DEAD, PROMISE Me THAT At The VERY LEAST, Manami…  … Tsuno: U-Uh! [Shakey Laughter] I PROMISE T-That I WON’T Be Stupid!! A-And- … [Shakey Sighs] I-If You REALLY Promise You’ll Handle It WELL… I-I’ll KEEP My Mouth Shut For A While… … Tsuno: [Shakey Breathing] I- … I-I Promise… I-I Won’t… TRY To Die For You If Necessary Either… … Ikeda: Good…. You’re NOT COMPLETELY A FUCKING COMMUNITY DOORMAT Like Atsushi Yet Then~ [Sighs] I'd RATHER Not Have Someone Like YOU Die F-For Someone... Like ME, Y'know? It's JUST Not WORTH IT- NOW That THAT Shit’s Settled Though… [Lip Smacks] Sooo~! DETECTIVE Manami, Did You FIND What You Wanted To FIND In Here~? I TOLD You that There’s NOTHING In THERE, Trust Me On This, EVERYTHING I SAY During This Investigation Is PROBALLY True Anyways~ I-I HAVE QUITE The Understand On This Whole Case Afterall~ Tsuno: I- ... Y-You- ... [Shakey Sighs] Y-Yeah... I Might- ... I-I Think I Might Too... I-I Mean, I'm NEVER That Good At Theories, B-But... This Case Just seems-... [Shakey Breathing] I-I THINK I Know Why Miki Died... S-Smiling At The Very Least... Ikeda: H-Heh... You DO, Don't You? I THINK The Reasoning's Pretty CLEAR Once You- ... [Sighs] N-Never mind... I-I SUPPOSE, You ARE Learning From Me Afterall~ [Scoffs] I-It's STILL Fucking WERID Seeing You So... I-I DUNNO!? Sagacious, I-I GUESS!? Tsuno: ... [Shakey Sighs] A-And I Think It's Nice You've Gotten A Bit More... On The right track Now, Daiki... P-Please Keep Doing That AFTER The Trial, Okay?

Ouno: [Sighs] M-Matthias… Don’t MAKE This HARD For Me, Okay!? I-I KNOW You Have SOME Sort Of CHILDISH GRUDGE You’re Holding Against Me, And YOU ARE Nothing But CHILDISH, B-But This Is a MURDER INVESTIGATION, You Understand!? I-I DON’T Have The TIME To Deal With Your Bullshit Over ME Living HAPPILY Unlike... YOUR SOMEONE, HONESTLYYY… And I’m SURE You Don’t Have The Time To Deal With MINE, S-So For NOW… Please Act Your Age~  I-It’s ONLY One Room Afterall… S-So SURELY It’ll Be Quick!!! 

Matthias: I- … H-Huh!?  [Shakey Sighs] I-I THINK I *WAS* Acting My Age, I Didn’t SAY Anything To Make You Think That I Wasn't, Ouno.  Ouno: [Giggles] E-EXACTLY!! You Were Giving Me The Silent Treatment, I Can’t THINK Of Anything MORE Childish Than THAT Right Now~ And BESIDES!! We CAN’T Investigate With Communication, Y’know~?? That THE *KEY* To Survival Here!!! I WANT To Live!  

Matthias: A-Ah… Right? Well, Have You FOUND Anything So Far?  Ouno: U–Ummm… No, I HAVEN’T Actually, DO You Have Any Theories Matthias~? Matthias: Well I- … I HAVE A Feeling She Was Strangled, I Mean, If There WASN’T Any Wounds, MAYBE The WOUNDS On Her Were Just Hidden!! Y’know? L-Like She HAD Something Around Her Neck, MAYBE They Just… Couldn’t See Her Bruises And Stuff Well BECAUSE Of That??  Ouno: I- … O-Oh? I- … [Gasps] T-That- … T-THAT ACTALLY *MAKES* A lot Of SENSE, R-Really- .. You- … You MAY Be RIGHT Here!!! S-She DID Have That.. Choker, It COVERED Up MOST Of Her NECK, Right!? Y-You- … Y-Yeah! That COULD Work!!! MAYBE She Was Strangled, I-I Mean… Her Being Strangled Is PROBALLY WAY Better Than Just… DYING *WITHOUT* Wounds… I-It’s ALSO Smart On The KILLERS Behalf ALSO~! No Weapons To Hide At All~  Matthias: I- … I-I SUPPOSE That’s TRUE, B-But Didn’t Everyone Who Was TALLER Than Her Have an Alibi? I-I Mean, I KNOW She Was STILL Small, But  Anyone SHORTER Than Her Would Have To Be IN FRONT Of Her And Had REACH Up For Her Neck If She Was Strangled, Right!? UNLESS She Was ALREADY Sitting DOWN Or BENDING Down For Them To Choke Her Out Of Course… 

Ouno: I- … Hrmmm… I-I Don’t Know, Hasegawa, Tsuno And Mai Was TALLER Than Her, Right!? P-Perhaps, Those THREE *ARE* Actually Suspicious Then. [Shakey Sighs]  I-I just CAN’T See Her SITTING Down ALREADY, W-Why Would She REST THERE, I-It DOESN'T Make SENSE For Them To REST *THERE* … T-They Were CLEARLY *IN THERE* For a REASON, I-I Just- …  I-It WOULD Be Pretty HARD For Someone TINY To Strangle Her If She WASN’T Sitting… E-Even WITH Her Guard DOWN, They’re STANDING Right IN FRONT OF Her… [Whimpers]  I-It’s… STRANGE… I-Isn’t It?  Matthias: Yeah, VERY STRANGE, I Can’t IMAGINE Someone Like Mai Or Manami STANGLING Someone LIKE Her Like That, Anyways… I-If It's NOT That, T-Then… W-What Even HAPPENED… Ouno: I- … I-I Mean, It’s Not IMPOSSIBLE To Strangle Someone TALLER Than You I THINK, S-Sure It’d BE a Bit Difficult, B-But Not ENTIRELY Impossible To DO, W-What SEEMS Weird To Me, I-Is The Fact She Was SINGING With YOU Last Night, RIGHT BEFORE SHE DIED, I-I THINK That Was the LAST Time EVERYONE *SAW* Her, S-She DIED A Hour Later, Y’know? D-Did She SAY Anythinggggg… Shady??? 

Matthias: I- … N-No!? I-It Was JUST a SONG, How COULD It Be Suspicious!? I-I THINK She Just WANTED To Have Fun With Me, T-That’s All!!  Ouno: [Shakey Sighs] N-No, No! I MEAN, What Was The SONG About, Matthias?! R-Really, It’s Not THAT Hard To GIVE Me An ANSWER, You Were LITERALLY There, Weren’t You!? What DID YOU TWO SING!!? J-Just ANSWER The Question… SONGS Usually HAVE Meaning, What If This On HAD a Secret Meeting That CONNECTS TO The MURDER!! 

Matthias: I- … A-Ah! Well, ACTUALLY, May- … M-Maybe? The Lyrics Were A Bit… D-Dark, Now That I THINK About It, The Last Two Verses- …[Shakey Breathing]  N-No… T-That’s Not- … M-MAYBE I-IT MEANS NOTHING Actually!!!! S-SHE WOULDN’T Know She Was GETTING *MURDERED* THEN Anyways!!! [Nervous Laughter] S-Surely She DIDN’T-  Ouno: MATTHIAS… I-It Doesn’t SOUND Like It’s Nothing With The Way You’re ACTING… What Did You Realizeeee~?  Matthias: W-Well… [Shakey Sighs] I- … C-Can We- … C-Can I Explain This Later…??? I-In The TRIAL I Mean, S-Something’s- … S-Something's OFF About It NOW, I-I Just… Don’t KNOW *WHAT* IS WRONG With It, S-Something- … [Sighs] M-MAYBE I’m Just OVERREACTING, B-But… I-I Think I’ll Tell While EVERYONE Around Just In Case….  Ouno: [Shakey Sighs] S-Sure, Whatever… YOU JUST DON’T Want To *TELL* Me, S-Sure BE asinine … J-Just- … IF YOU *DON’T* TELL AS SOON As POSSIBLE, And It Was IMPORTANT We Would DIE, I-I Don’t WANT To DIE Just Because YOU Refuse To Tell MAnything IMPORTANT To ME, B-Because You’re SOOO UPSET AT ME And Hitomi Of ALL PEOPLE, Over Something… Trivial…  Matthias: I- … [Shakey Breathing] T-Trivial… R-Right… It SURE Is… Trivial…. L-Like You’d KNOW Shit…  …  Matthias: Y-Yesterday, Isono, SAID That I’ll Figure Out The REST Of The Song's Story TODAY…  Ouno: A-And- … A-And Today She- … [Shakey Sighs] S-She Dieddd… S-Strange Isn’t It? You Should PROBALLY Help Me Investigate Now, There’s- … T-There’s ALOT In Here, Who Knows~!? MAYBE We’ll Actually FIND Something ELSE!!
