* RULE #2: When a death occurs, time will be granted for students to investigate. All areas currently available will be accessible during the investigation period.
* RULE #3: If the blackened is correctly identified during the class trial, only they will be executed.

* RULE #6: No more than three victims per killer.
* RULE #7: In the event that there are multiple killers and multiple victims, only the first killer is regarded as the blackened, regardless of discovery order.
* RULE #8: Participation in class trials is MANDATORY. Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis, mostly in regards to health situations - i.e., a bystander was seriously injured in a failed murder attempt when the blackened already had three victims.
* RULE #9: Nighttime hours are considered from 10 pm to 8 am. While students are not required to stay in their personal rooms at these hours, it is strongly recommended that they do so and exercise caution.
* RULE #10: Trespassing into unopened areas of Mansion Milan is strictly prohibited.
* RULE #11: Violence against either of your lovely and talented hosts is also strictly prohibited.
* RULE #12: Failure to comply with any of the aforementioned rules will result in punishment.

While not added to the rules tab, Ariel listed several conditions for making phone calls as part of the first motive:

* Only one phone call per student.
* Students must know the phone number of the person they want to call.
* Calls must be made before nighttime hours.
* Phone calls are restricted to five minutes, and will be immediately cut off afterwards.
* Emergency services of any kind have been blocked, and attempts to call them will be punished.
* Attempts to discuss the killing game on the call will be punished.

A new rule was added during the investigation for the second case, as Tsukino Chisaki attempted to burn a bow that seemed to be important to Caliban.

* RULE #14: Do NOT destroy the black kyūdō bow.

Another rule was added by Ariel as investigation into the fourth case began, to add a layer of difficulty.

* RULE #15: From the fourth case onward, the first TWO people to discover a body will set off the Body Discovery Announcement, not the first three.

## Motives

* **Motive 1: Phone Calls**
	+ Ariel announced that students would be given a day to make phone calls to anyone whose number they knew, provided they followed certain guidelines. Ultimately, this motive was unsuccessful, as no student chose to murder because of their calls or lackthereof. Instead, a murder was caused by a struggle erupting between Brendan Valdez and Kanemori Shionaga, for reasons initially unclear, resulting in Shionaga killing Valdez.
* **Motive 2: Deleting Memories**
	+ Ariel announced that, in addition to leaving the mansion, a successful blackened would also have their memories of the killing game and everything that had occurred within the manor erased. Tiana Murdock, content with this reward, set about creating a snare that would hang a victim who went into the dining room. A note forged by the mastermind lured Claudius Bates into the snare, making him Murdock's victim.
* **Motive 3: Secrets of the Deceased**
	+ Ariel promised "the secrets of the deceased" as an additional reward for killing a classmate, replacing the second motive's benefit. According to Ariel, "Secrets will be given to the killer at some point between the investigation period and the trial. They are free to distribute them to the rest of the class as they wish." This included any students that died prior to the case's trial. Much like the first motive, this did not cause a murder- instead, Aster Everett killed Amal Khalaf as they exited the control room, mistakenly believing they were the mastermind. However, Everett still received the promised secrets, and students were able to use them in a makeshift trial to attempt to uncover the mysteries of the killing game.
* **Motive 4: Talent Advancement and Tapes**
	+ Ariel announced the next benefit for a successful blackened was "immediate advancement in the field of their ultimate talent". As the surviving students spoke with Caliban about working to defeat the mastermind, Caliban suggested he bring them security tapes. Overhearing this, Ariel extended the motive to include receiving the security tapes. Tristan McRae pointed out that the tapes were useless for someone who had already escaped, so Ariel amended the motive to give the tapes to surviving students even after the blackened was discovered, hoping for a killing motivated by martyrdom. Iris Sumitama pushed Alexei Ilyich Bazhanov off a balcony; however, her exact reasons for doing so are unknown, because Sumitama herself died shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, Tatsumaru Harai, hoping to sacrifice themself to give the others the tapes, had taken a gun to shoot Sumitama. Ririka Kashizaki, upon hearing Bazhanov's body hit the ground, had gone on to investigate, and came across Harai, seeing they intended to murder someone else. Kashizaki attempted to take the gun from Harai, and the ensuing struggle resulted in the gun firing into her chest. Despite their dismay at killing her, Harai still intended to finish what they started, and shot Sumitama shortly after. Because Bazhanov was the first body discovered, Sumitama was declared the blackened for the fourth trial. Rather than face execution, Harai's hand was cut off as punishment for their murders. However, it was discovered shortly after the trial that Bazhanov had actually not died from his fall, having been given medical attention from Caliban.
* **Motive 5: A Sacrifice to End the Game**
	+ The final motive was one prepared by Sentarou Sekisada: If the blackened won the class trial, they could choose a sacrifice from the class. The sacrifice would be executed, and the remaining students would be allowed to leave. Chiyo Kumoshita created a plot with Tristan McRae to save their friends: Kumoshita would let McRae kill her, and McRae would select himself as the sacrifice. Prospero, controlling Ariel, considered revoking the motive, but ultimately decided to honor it. However, they added the condition that the survivors uncover Prospero's identity before being allowed to leave. Additionally, though McCrae did select himself for sacrifice, his classmates were able to rescue him from execution, and Ariel decided to spare him.
