## Summary

This killing game took place inside the Neo World Program simulation developed by Vivian Tamochi and Kyra Acker. Its participants were members of Class 2, and they were all former members of Ultimate Despair with the exception of Annie.

In the first chapter, students found themselves in the Rozzem Hotel in remote Siberia. Shortly after being informed that they were taking part in a killing game, students were shown videos of their loved ones in extreme peril as a motive to kill. Jacques Hughes was killed in Kyra Acker's avatar by Annie, who believed Kyra was the game's mastermind.

In Chapter 2, students gained access to the ballroom in the hotel and the military base outside. The heat was shut off and students were informed that a blizzard was approaching, with the restoration of the heat as the motive for murder. Christopher was killed by Cassie as the circumstances became dire.

Chapter 3 allowed students access to Mount Chirip and its cave system. In this chapter, the students learned that they were inside a simulation. As a motive, Monokuma read off each student's darkest secret. When this failed to produce a murder, students were given one day to kill before they would all be executed. On this day, Juno killed Yoruneko. Additionally, Kyra Acker, the mastermind, deposited Adrian Winfield's body alongside Yoruneko's, alerting the students to his existence.

The fourth chapter took place in a circus, where the motive was an aggravating song that is played louder each day. After Johnny's failed attempt to kill Anzu and Holly, Holly decapitated Johnny overnight.

The fifth chapter opened up a tower to the students. On the third day, the students were told that they were Remnants of Despair. Cara recalled her infatuation with Nero after seeing him in a video shown to the group, and she murdered Zoran in an act of despair.

The sixth and final chapter saw the program becoming unstable as three new PPUs were connected to the program. The surviving students explored a glitchy map that mixed locations from Hope's Peak Academy and Beresham Island. During the final trial, the mastermind, Kyra, was revealed, and Vivian Tamochi, Aria Abe, and Keiko Matsuda arrived mid-trial to help the group safely escape. After the players chose to log out of the simulation, Kyra executed herself.

## Chapter 1

### Daily Life

Chapter 1 opened with the game's 16 participants waking in their hotel rooms with no memories of how they arrived there. As far as the students could recall, the year was 2018 and they were supposed to begin classes at Hope's Peak Academy shortly. However, none of the students could remember how they reached their current location. As they explored, they found that the only accessible areas were the hotel suites they'd woken up in, the four upstairs halls, three downstairs halls, and the lobby.

Shortly after the participants awakened, Monokuma played an announcement over the monitors which were hung in every room, instructing everyone to go to the lobby. Once everyone had congregated there, Monokuma revealed himself and explained to the class that they were now part of a killing game. He provided them each with a Monopad tablet before vanishing.

At this time, more of the hotel became accessible, including the kitchen, the dining hall, the storage room, the fitness room, and the break room. There were puzzles in many of these locations which offered small prizes to the first person to solve them. These prizes included a strength-boosting pill, a small key to a cabinet that contained a katana, and the key to the generator room, which held the power breakers. Several students also discovered that the vents in each of their suites could be opened using a different trick for each suite's vent, and each suite's vent connected to one other suite.

On the third morning, Monokuma announced that participants had each received a message from home. The students each found a tablet in their rooms, each containing a video message from a loved one. The only exceptions were Pearl and Ikeda, who had no close friends or family. After a video clip showing the loved one(s) encouraging the participant to do well at school, a second video played, showing the loved one(s) in mortal danger. Naturally, many students became distraught after seeing these videos.

As students gathered in and around the kitchen on the first floor, most were unaware that the first murder was already set in motion. After a group of students spoke with Monokuma, Cara broke off from the group to go to the break room. There, she encountered Kyra dying on the floor. Within moments of Cara's arrival, she was dead.

### Deadly Life

Usami made her first appearance at this point. She fought with Monokuma, but quickly lost when he broke her magic wand. Her powers gone, she became Monomi, a pink and white rabbit that wore a diaper.

The students, confused by the entire brawl, started to investigate.

### Truth Bullets

* **Kyra's dying words.** Cara was there to hear Kyra's last words. She said, "You always had such beautiful pink hair."
* **Stab wound.** Kyra had a superficial stab wound in her shoulder. The wound was small and round.
* **Throat injuries.** Kyra's throat was badly bruised. She appeared as if she was choked.
* **Body placement.** Kyra was found just outside the door to the general manager's office in the break room.
* **Bloody screwdriver.** There was a bloody screwdriver on the floor in the storage room.
* **Bloody comforter.** The comforter on Kyra's bed had some blood spatter on it.
* **Kyra's dresser.** The dresser in Kyra's room was pushed in front of the vent.
* **Vent between rooms.** The vent to Kyra's room led to Annie's room.
* **Annie's dresser.** The dresser in Annie's room was pushed in front of the vent.
* **Note from Kyra.** A shredded note was found in Annie's room. When pieced together again, it read "Meet me in the break room at 5 PM. -Kyra".
* **Annie's conversation with Christopher.** Cara overheard a conversation between Annie and Christopher, during which Annie made a comment about being stronger than she seemed.

### Case Summary

The morning of the murder, students received the tablets containing messages from loved ones. After watching her own motive video, Kyra wrote a note. It said “Meet me in the break room at 5 PM. -Kyra”. She then made her way over to Annie's suite and slipped it underneath her door. Nobody saw her in the act, and no one saw her after that, either. Upon finding the note, Annie was confused. She didn’t know why Kyra wanted to see her, but she didn’t trust her. She didn't trust Kyra, and this note only made her more suspicious. She tore up the note and left it on the floor of her room.

Annie made her way to Kyra’s room, Suite 9. It was unlocked, with no one inside. She unscrewed the vent and went back to her own room, Suite 1. She locked the door, unscrewed the vent, and crawled over to Kyra’s room. She locked the door there and waited. Around 4:30, a rather large group convened in hall 1 downstairs: Cara, Cass, Johnny, Oshiro, and Zoran. Cass, Johnny, and Oshiro had just come from the break room. They all started discussing the motive videos and their fears about them, when all of a sudden, Monokuma showed up and joined the conversation as well. Unbeknownst to the students, Monokuma was keeping them occupied, aware of the murder taking place nearby.

Annie decided to go to the break room early, just in case. She took the comforter off of Kyra’s bed and wrapped it over herself like a cloak to conceal her identity. She left Suite 9 and ran downstairs to the break room. As soon as she got there, Kyra came out of the general manager’s office. Seeing this, Annie deduced that Kyra had to be the mastermind. She dashed forward and stabbed Kyra in the shoulder with a screwdriver, causing her to cry out in pain. Next, Annie picked her up by the neck, holding her in the air and strangling her. Even Annie was surprised by this, finding she possessed far more strength than even she knew. Quickly, she crushed Kyra’s windpipe. When Kyra stopped struggling, Annie dropped her and ran back to Suite 9. There, she put Kyra’s comforter back on the bed and quickly rinsed off the screwdriver she used to stab her, not checking to make sure she got all the blood off of it. She crawled through the vent, returning to Suite 1. She screwed the vent back into place and pushed her dresser in front of it, blocking access from the other side. Next, she went back to Suite 9. She did the same thing there as in Suite 1: screwed the vent back into place and pushed the dresser in front of it. Then she quickly ran to the storage room and dropped the screwdriver on the floor. She returned to her room and locked the door.

Meanwhile, Monokuma finally left the group in hall 1 downstairs, and they started to disperse. Cara decided to go to the break room, where she found Kyra. It turned out she was still just barely alive. She asked Cara to come closer, and in a moment of delirium, spoke her final words to Cara before finally dying: "You always had such beautiful pink hair." Cara ran back to hall 1, out of breath and pale. When she arrived, only Cass and Johnny were still there, along with Holly. She yelled for them to go to the break room. They all went together, where they found Kyra’s body. Monokuma made the Body Discovery Announcement, leading Annie to believe she hadn't killed the mastermind after all, and instead started the killing game in earnest.

### Execution

Annie's execution for Kyra's murder was The Debutante Ball of Young Miss Annie.

## Chapter 2

### Daily Life

    The morning after the first trial, several new areas opened up to students. These included the ballroom on the first floor of the hotel, the courtyard, and the military base, which was a large area with plenty to discover.

    After several days, Monokuma announced their second motive: a blizzard was passing through the area, and the heat would be powered off until a murder occurred.

### Case Summary

The case began around not long after the ball started. Everyone was tired of Christopher, who had spent most of the ball investigating on his own. Ikeda proposed locking him up in the military base’s jail. When people started discussing it seriously, Chris made a break for it. He made it all the way to his room, but before he could lock the door, Oshiro charged in and tackled him, restraining his arms behind his back. She hogtied him with his hands tied behind his back and his ankles together, and slung him over her shoulder. They discussed what to do with him, and decided to lock him up in the generator room, with Yoruneko and one other person guarding the door.

After the failed attempt at bringing the oil drum to the hotel as a source of heat, Cassie returned to the generator room, where she found Pearl with Yoruneko and Christopher. Cassie volunteered to be a victim. Suddenly, Zoran entered carrying an ax, and he shut off the power. Everyone panicked, afraid that someone was going to be killed in the darkness. After quite a while, Yoruneko found the power switch, and turned the power back on. Cassie asked Yoruneko if they could untie Christopher, and she decided it was the right thing to do. After he was freed, everyone was scrambling looking for Cara and Zoran after the blackout. Faust ran into Cassie and suggested going to the military base to look for them, and they went together. They didn’t find them, so they returned to the hotel, where they learned that Cara and Zoran were unharmed.

After returning, the pair split up. Cass met with Cara and Oshiro in hall 3 on the second floor. Cara told her that Christopher was free, and hesitantly implied it might be best if he was killed in order to save the group. Cass admitted that she was the one who freed him, and it was because the generator room wasn’t safe for him during the blackout. Cara insisted that that was the point. She gave Cass the meat tenderizer she had been carrying around for self defense and left without explaining why.

Cassie looked all over for Christopher. She checked several suites, but he wasn’t there. However, Suite 1 was locked, and that got their attention. Cassie made her way to Suite 9 and crawled through the vent, only to find that the other end was blocked by Annie’s dresser. But that wasn’t a problem given Cassie's strength. She pushed the dresser out of the way, causing it to fall over, breaking the backside of the television. Sure enough, Christopher was in the room. He knew what was going to happen. He asked Cass if he could say something first, and then threw a punch at her, completely missing. Then he tried to use his talent as the Ultimate Lawyer to do the only thing he knew how to do: talk his way out of a bad situation, even if he had to lie as much as possible.

But it didn’t work. Cassie charged at him with the meat tenderizer, smashing it into his left ear. She hastily pushed the dresser back against the vent, then ran over to the front door, blocking off the exit. Christopher told her he would do whatever it took to expose the mastermind and save everyone. But Cassie insisted she didn’t want to be saved. She struck the meat tenderizer into the left side of his neck, mortally wounding him. Christopher begged her not to kill him, but she was determined. She struck him in the face one last time, and Christopher died instantly. With a heavy heart, Cass returned to her room and went to bed.

She returned to the scene of the crime first thing in the morning, locked the door, and took a shower to wash the blood off of their body. She ran out of suite 1, passing Johnny on the way. She went to suite 9 and disposed of the bloody comforter she had been wearing when they committed the murder in the restroom. When she went back to the hall outside Suite 1, she promised to get breakfast with Johnny later. When he left, she went back into the suite and hid the meat tenderizer in the en suite restroom.

Meanwhile, after learning that the heat had been restored, the rest of the group realized someone must have been killed overnight. Cass met Ikeda in hall 4 of the second floor. Ikeda proposed checking all the suites, and they split up. Ikeda discovered the body in Suite 1 and yelled that she found the body in the hall. Cassie came running, and Ikeda told her to inform people. Cass found Holly, who went to see the body for herself. Faust was next. Only after the fourth person came upon the crime scene did Monokuma play the body discovery announcement. The culprit… didn’t count.

### Execution

Cassie's execution for Christopher's murder was Cassie's Wild Ride.

## Chapter 3

### Case Summary

The case began early in the morning. Monokuma reminded everyone about his backup motive: if no one killed by the end of the day, everyone would be executed. Juno took the butcher’s knife and stun gun he had been hiding in his bathroom. He left to go inspect cave 9, where he found a mysterious door and several stalagmites marked with musical notes. He decided this would be the perfect place to commit the act and returned to the hotel. Juno found just who he was looking for: Olyssia Borisyuk, otherwise known as Yoruneko, the disgraced Ultimate Vigilante. He told her she didn’t have to be so hard on herself just because of her past and identity being revealed. He invited her to check out cave 9; maybe together they could find a clue to unlock the door and save everyone. She agreed and went with him.

While Yoruneko was preoccupied inspecting the stalagmites, Juno snuck up behind her with his stun gun and shocked her. She fell to the floor, completely paralyzed. Juno then revealed his reasons for killing her: people like her -- law enforcement -- were the reason he was in this messed up game to begin with. If he hadn’t gotten caught, he wouldn’t have been forced to go to Hope’s Peak for rehabilitation, and he wouldn’t be trapped here with everyone else.

With a shaky hand, Juno swiped the butcher’s knife towards Yoruneko's neck, resulting in a shallow, diagonal cut. Her neck began gushing blood. She begged him not to do this; she wanted him to let her live instead and give him a quick death, so she could sacrifice herself for execution in one last act of heroism. But Juno wasn’t deterred. He grasped the handle of the butcher’s knife with steady hands and struck down on her neck, severing her carotid artery instantly in a perfect cut. He was sprayed with blood as a result. He quickly fled the scene, running to the lake. Juno dove into the underwater hole and swam through the cavern as quickly as he could. When he finally emerged in the mineshaft, he realized that the minecart was at the other end of the tracks, so he had to walk all the way to the exit. When he climbed up the ladder, he found Zoran in the locker room and ran back to hide in the mineshaft for a few minutes. When he finally came back up, Pearl was in the hot springs. Juno decided to quickly run into the locker room. There, he unlocked Zoran’s locker with the key he had stolen from him before. He took off all his clothes, soaking wet and stained with blood, and shoved them in the locker along with the stun gun and butcher’s knife. Then, he locked Zoran’s locker and locked the key inside their own locker. Now naked, Juno put on a towel and headed to his room.

While Juno was escaping from the scene of the crime, Holly decided to go for a walk. She returned to cave 9, where she’d spent quite a while the day before attempting to solve the stalactite puzzle. There, she found Yoruneko's body -- and only her body. She ran back to the hotel crying for help. Yuu and Pearl were the first ones to hear her, and came running to find out what happened. She told them what she saw, and the two ran off. When Pearl and Yuu got to the scene, they were shocked to find not just one, but two bodies: Yoruneko, and a man they had never seen before. Since the man’s body hadn’t been seen by more than two people yet, Monokuma only announced the first body: Yoruneko. Zoran ran in shortly after, and Monokuma announced the second body, which belonged to a man nobody knew was even here: Adrian Winfield, the Ultimate Pilot. During the body discovery announcements, Holly was talking to Juno, who lied about what he had been doing with the victim. Juno went inside his room to get dressed, then followed Holly to the scene of the crime, where he saw not only the person he killed, but a mysterious second body that he had nothing to do with.

### Execution

Juno's execution for Yoruneko's murder was The Impossible Heist.

## Chapter 4

### Daily Life

On the first day after Trial 3, a small area was newly opened: a circus tent and adjoining lounge area. Also newly opened was the Love Suite off of Hall 5 on the first floor of the hotel.

Two important characters appear in this chapter for the first time: Zuri, a circus bear, and the Meatball Man.

### Deadly Life

When students woke up on the third day at the circus, the music was so loud that they were unable to communicate by speaking. Through a series of gestures, Zoran urged a large group toward Johnny's dorm room. Unbeknownst to him, he was actually leading the group to the scene of the latest murder. When the group entered, they found Johnny dead, decapitated by a large battle axe. The music stopped as the body discovery announcement was played.

### Trial

At the onset of the trial, Zoran, Anzu, and Holly recounted their experience the night before, when Johnny made an attempt on Anzu and Holly's lives. Because they had a motive to kill Johnny and because Anzu's sleeping bag was found in Johnny's room, their story quickly narrowed down the suspects to these three.

Most of the suspicion was aimed at Zoran and Anzu until Holly broke down and confessed to the killing. She admitted that she had been afraid that either Johnny, Zoran, or Anzu would make another attempt to kill during the night, so, in order to save her friends and eliminate the person who proved himself to be the greatest threat to the group, Holly snuck out of bed, took the battle axe, took the sleeping bag from Anzu's room, since she knew it would be vacant, and killed Johnny with a single blow.

### Case Summary

The case began shortly right everyone had dispersed from the show tent before curfew. In the lounge, Johnny asked Anzu if she wanted to hear his scary story, which he wasn’t able to tell earlier due to Zoran’s fear of ghost stories. She agreed to go, but she was nervous about the idea. Holly, who was the last person out of the show tent, asked if she could listen as well. Johnny had been planning to kill Anzu while telling the story, but he allowed Holly to come along, now with the intent to kill them both. Johnny led the two downstairs, where he unfortunately ran into Zoran, the one person he was hoping to avoid. He led the two girls into the torture room, but Anzu stayed behind for a moment. Zoran asked what the three of them were doing, and Anzu warned him that Johnny might try and kill them. Zoran promised to stay put, and told her to shout if he tried anything. Anzu agreed and went into the room, where she lied to Johnny that Zoran had gone back upstairs. Zoran retrieved a cutlass from the armory and waited outside.

In the middle of Johnny’s story, he grabbed a hammer and started to swing it down on Holly and Anzu’s heads, but they quickly screamed, and Zoran ran into the room. He confronted Johnny, who tried to play it off as a prank. Zoran didn’t fall for it. He told Anzu and Holly that they should all sleep together for protection.

The new trio went to dorm 7, Holly's dorm. Zoran said he wanted to kill Johnny for what he almost did. But Holly and Anzu wanted Zoran to live. They made him promise not to kill Johnny, and he reluctantly agreed. The first one to fall asleep was Anzu, then Holly, and then Zoran. Holly woke up after about an hour. Whether it was intentional or not, she knew what she had to do. Without waking the others, she stripped down to her underwear, left the clothes on the floor, and headed to the basement. She found several weapons in the armory and inspected each one to check how well she’d be able to use it. She decided on the battle axe, which wasn’t too heavy, but would still be lethal. She went back upstairs and took the sleeping bag from dorm 5, Anzu’s room, as she knew Anzu was in dorm 7 instead. She put it on and went just across the hall to dorm 4, where Johnny was sound asleep. She swung the battle axe down on his neck, apologizing profusely for what she was doing. Johnny died instantly, his head cut clean off. Now soaked in blood, she dropped the sleeping bag and the battle axe and fled the room. She went to the women’s room to shower. She took the last clean towel to dry herself off with, and left it hanging on the rack, still wet.

She went back to dorm 7, and after getting dressed, she went back to bed alongside the other two people sleeping in her room… Anzu and Zoran. She did it for them… all she wanted was for those two, and everyone else, to survive.

### Execution

Holly's execution for Johnny's murder was Panic! At the Grand Hotel.

## Chapter 5

### Case Summary

Cara woke up in the middle of the night the day before the murder on an empty stomach. She went downstairs to the kitchen and made some soup, which she ate in the dining hall. Monokuma suddenly appeared, angry with her for being out so late at night. He told her that they were going to be meeting someone very important the next day, and that she should go back to bed. Naturally, Cara asked what he meant, and the two conversed for a while. Finally, Monokuma decided he would let her do whatever she wanted to prepare for the “special guest” tomorrow, telling her in a vague threat that this person might hurt the people she loved most. Then, he disappeared.

Cara looked at the katana in the glass cabinet. After weeks of secretly holding onto the cabinet key after obtaining it from the cryptex lock in the break room, she finally unlocked the cabinet and took out the sword. Then, she locked the cabinet again and smashed the glass in with the hilt of the sword. It made a hole in the glass just large enough for an arm to reach through. A perfect setup to explain how the sword was taken. Cara came up with a plan… just in case. She took the katana to the tower and decided to hide it in the bathtub. When she turned the jets on, she couldn’t even see the weapon in the water. She flushed the cabinet key down the toilet, but she made one mistake: she didn’t know that the toilet in the master bathroom was meant to capture small items. Prepared for whatever might happen, cara returned to their suite. Memories started trickling in. She had a vague recollection of someone incredibly important to her speaking to her. She desperately wanted to remember more of that person, but it was no use. She fell back asleep.

In the morning, Monokuma made an announcement, telling everyone to get to the video room immediately to meet this “special guest”. That person… was Nero Tamochi, the leader of Ultimate Despair and the mastermind behind the Tragedy and Neo Danganronpa 54. In a video recording, he revealed that all of the students who woke up in the program, excluding Annie but including Adrian, were members of Ultimate Despair, following his orders. Cara recognized him. She knew his voice from the night before. And now, she finally remembered his name and face. She just wanted to know one crucial detail: if he was here, in the program with them. But Monokuma gave her a clear answer: Nero Tamochi was dead.

Cara returned to her room. Thoughts raced through her head as she tried to remember as much as she could about him. Memories flooded back as she remembered all the things Nero did for her. She remembered his love… and she remembered his despair. And before long, she remembered who she really was: a twisted, awful person obsessed with despair, just like he was. Cara now knew what they wanted to do. She took a towel from her restroom and put it on underneath their clothes, so no one would see her carrying it. Then, she headed for the break room, where she found Zoran. The two chatted for quite a while. Zoran said he didn't believe Cara was capable of doing the things they were accused of, but that he believed he probably had. He also suggested that it might be for the best if they never escaped the program.

Cara proposed going back to the tower to look for more answers when it fully opened at 7. Zoran agreed. Until then, they just had to wait. When it was almost 7, Zoran insisted on heading to the tower, but Cara wanted to stall. She said she was hungry, and so started heading to the kitchen. Zoran went inside, where he found Anzu, Pearl, and Yuu having a conversation. He backed out and told Cara, who claimed she didn't want to encounter any of the others out of fear. They went to Cara's room, Suite 16, to wait a little while longer. Zoran crawled through the vent to go lock his door. While he did that, Cara took an empty vial from her own trash can. In case she needed to frame someone, an empty vial would come in handy.

Zoran returned, and he decided to go look for a teleportation mask. Cara ran after him and called for him, and he returned to hall 4. She told him she might know where one would be, and ran towards the stairs. As Zoran followed, Ikeda entered the hallway and saw him running.

The two went to the tower and started climbing upstairs. When they got to the master bathroom, Cara pulled out the stun gun she'd taken from Juno’s locker and used its last charge on Zoran, paralyzing him instantly. Zoran was shocked and horrified to find that the person he trusted so dearly wanted to watch him die. He took back what he'd said earlier, begging Cara to let him live. She ignored him, took the katana that she'd hidden in the bathtub, and stabbed him in the chest. He coughed up blood, and Cara stabbed him over and over and over again. It didn’t take long for him to die, but she stabbed him 17 times; a reference to Nero, who was the secret 17th student in Neo Danganronpa 54. In the heat of the moment, she'd forgotten to take off her clothes to avoid getting them bloody. Cara felt immense despair after killing Zoran, but it wasn’t enough. She drank the contents of the red vial, unrolled a wad of toilet paper, and gripped the katana’s blade with it. Then, she started repeatedly bashing Zoran’s head in with the hilt of the blade, destroying his skull as thoroughly as possible. By the time she was through, Zoran's face was unrecognizable.

Finally done, Cara started cleaning up. The wad of toilet paper she took was too thick to flush down the toilet, so she stuffed it in the trash can instead. They put the katana in the bathtub, where the jets would wash the blood off and circulate it out of the water. She then took off her clothes, which left bloodstains on the floor near the door, and showered, cleaning all of the blood off her body. She used the towel she snuck in to dry off and gathered all of her belongings. Cara put on the gorilla mask she'd been holding onto for so long and teleported to cave 6. She took it off again right away, teleporting her to the gift shop. She then walked back to Mount Chirip and put her clothes on the stairs to the landing pad before heading to the lake, almost completely naked. Still under the effects of the red vial, Cara dove into the lake into the underwater cavern, where she swam to the other side, eventually emerging in the underground mineshaft. She walked to the other side and climbed the ladder to the hot spring. Not sure if the coast was clear, she decided to wait there until after 10, when she could feasibly claim she was trapped in the tower. Meanwhile, everyone had been looking for not only her, but Faust and Zoran as well. They looked all over, with Oshiro walking around the entire valley to try and find them. Ikeda headed towards the hot spring, and when she entered, Cara hid in the water. Ikeda went to go get Oshiro, who found her there. Cara claimed that she had been hiding there because she was afraid and didn’t want to see anyone. But that was all a lie.

In the morning, everyone found that the glass cabinet in the dining hall had been broken into. Still with no sign of Zoran anywhere, they decided to start looking. Ikeda was the first to find his body in the bathroom, and she ran outside to try and find others. She found Oshiro first, who headed up to the tower. Then she found Cara, who lied and said she was too exhausted to move. Ikeda found Faust next, and showed him the footprints and gorilla mask in the gift shop. Faust ran for the tower, and he bumped into Cara on his way. He ran all the way up to the master bathroom, and Monokuma’s body discovery announcement went off. Cara arrived just after him. She acted distraught, but the truth was she was ecstatic. Her goal… the reason she did all of this, was to watch everyone she cared about die in one of Monokuma’s brutal punishments.

### Execution

Cara's execution for Zoran's murder was Journey into the Singularity.

## Chapter 6

### Daily Life

While investigating Kyra's bathroom, Faust discovered that if he pressed tiles in a certain order, the tub dropped him off in the manager's office.

### Execution

Kyra's self-inflicted execution was Ultimate Retribution for the Ultimate Neuroscientist.

## Trivia

* This game was in development far longer than its two precursors, with certain elements of its plot prepared up to a year in advance.
* 56 is the first Neo Danganronpa game to include a sixth chapter. Like in canon Danganronpa games, the goal in this chapter is not to catch a killer, but to identify the mastermind.
