## Chapter 1 - To Survive

"And the killer really is one of us, right?"

"Just a second Chihiro, try to remember how my room looked."

"With the way things have been damaged, I think we can definitely assume there was a struggle."

"Between Sayaka and the killer of course."

"No, I do think it was a knife. But not just any knife, I'm almost positive it was a kitchen knife."

"After the murder, we discovered one of the knives from the kitchen was missing."

"Hold on a second! I'm-!"

"Okay wait, hold on. I didn't take the knife from the kitchen."

"Well, what if I have a witness?"

"What do you think, Hina?"

"Remember what you were telling me earlier?"

"Just to be perfectly clear, the knife disappeared while you were in the dining hall, correct?"

"And at any point while you were there, did you ever see me come into the dining hall?"

"The knife disappeared while Hina was in the dining hall, but I wasn't there the entire time."

"In other words, there's no way I could've taken the knife."

"Anyway, I didn't go to the dining hall, and I didn't take the knife!"

"So I'm not the killer!"

"Then... Sayaka is the one who took the knife?"

"I'm sure- I'm sure she just took it for self-defense."

"What?"

"No, you're wrong!"

"That's right, there wasn't a single hair on the floor!"

"Yes, and if I were the culprit..."

"Why would I need to get rid of all the hair in my own room?"

"It wouldn't be unusual at all to find my hair at the crime scene, if the crime scene is in my room!"

"Evidence that the killer had trouble getting into the bathroom... you're talking about the doorknob, right?"

"The doorknob from my bathroom, it was completely broken!"

"See how the top part was unscrewed, and the doorknobs about ready to fall off?"

"The reason my bathroom didn't open wasn't because it was locked..."

"After all, the girl's rooms are the only one with locking bathrooms, right?"

"Because it was stuck."

"My bathroom door doesn't fit in the frame quite right."

"Monokuma over there can testify that."

"The killer must not have realized it was my own room."

"Definitely something I wouldn't do, since I would've known exactly why it wasn't opening, right?"

"No, that can't be it either."

"Because Sayaka was already scared, remember? That's why she asked me to switch rooms in the first place."

"Knowing what she'd been through, I just can't believe she would've opened the door for anyone!"

"Huh?"

"W-what the hell is that supposed to mean? Why would she lie about something like that?"

"Huh?"

"N-no, I didn't, but..."

"B-but why? Why would she write that?"

"The name plates on mine and Sayaka's room got switched."

"R-right?"

"Me and Sayaka were the only ones who ever knew about us switching rooms."

"So the only other person besides me who would even know to switch the nameplates... was Sayaka."

"What?"

"Sayaka suggested I should hold on to it. I thought it might come in handy if I had to defend myself."

"It seems pretty likely the killer used it to break Sayaka's right wrist."

"All you have to do is take a good look at her broken wrist, and it should become pretty clear."

"Right there where her wrist is all swollen. There's something glittery there, see?"

"It sure is. Specifically, the gold coating from the replica sword."

"You barely have to touch that stuff, and it'll stick right to you."

"And there's some on her wrist because..."

"That's what makes the most sense to me anyway."

"Actually no, I don't think the fight started with the sword."

"Because the sword sheath had been scratched!"

"See, there's a gash in it. Like someone cut into it with something sharp."

"If the sword was used first, there wouldn't be any explanation for the scratch on the sheath."

"If you were going to attack with the sword, you'd take it out of the sheath first, right?"

"You're talking about her palms, right?"

"The palms of her hands are perfectly clean. So I don't think she ever picked up the sword."

"Like I said before, the gold coating on that sword comes right off, all you have to do is touch it."

"In fact, if you look, you'll notice a lot of the gold has already come off the handle."

"It's safe to assume that's because whoever used the sword got some of it on their hands."

"There's really no way she could've picked it up, and come away completely clean."

"Sorry. But I don't think so."

"N-no! That's not it at all!"

"According to the Monokuma File, Sayaka's time of death was around one-thirty A.M."

"In other words, at nighttime. And the water in the bathroom shuts off at nighttime, right?"

"Sayaka? She had the kitchen knife?"

"S-Sayaka?"

"Sayaka wanted to... on me?"

"Just hold on! That can't be true!"

"Because-! Because..."

"There still might be one clue left, Sayaka's dying message!"

"Her left index finger had blood on it."

"That can only be because she used that finger to write the message."

"Huh?"

"Oh my god... now I see! She wrote down the killer's name!"

"The key to solving this mystery was simply to rotate the writing to 180 degrees."

"If you turn the message around..."

"It becomes the letters L E O N."

"L E O N. Or more accurately, Leon!"

"You mean... the burnt shirt piece I found lying by the incinerator, right?"

"You're right, that alone isn't enough. But there are some other points that may reveal the truth."

"Yeah, I think so."

"If we look closely at how the shirt was disposed of, we might be able to figure out who the killer is."

"Hold on, I think I know how someone can dispose of the evidence without using the trash room key!"

"Yes you could. If you use this."

"The killer simply took aim at the incinerator switch, and threw the ball through a gap in the gate."

"All they had to do was hit that switch, and the incinerator would come to life."

"Remember what you said before, Hifumi?"

"Hifumi had the key, so the only way the incinerator would be turned on without his knowledge..."

"Was because the killer would be able to hit the switch without opening the gate!"

"Once they got the incinerator going, all they had to do was ball up the shirt and throw it in!"

"Difficult, absolutely. Impossible? I don't think so. Because the killer is..."

"Because the killer is the Ultimate Baseball Star. Isn't that right, LEON!?"

"Say what you want, Leon. But all the questions had been answered, and the truth has been revealed!"

"Now here's what happened."

"I think I better take one more look back at the case from the beginning."

"Last night, the killer went to the room Sayaka was in. In other words, my room."

"From what we can tell, Sayaka invited that person there intending to kill them."

"She attacked them with the knife she had taken from the kitchen earlier."

"But then something happened that she wasn't prepared for."

"They grabbed the fake sword I put in my room, and fought back."

"During the struggle, a strike from the sword broke Sayaka's right wrist."

"And that's when she lost her grip on the kitchen knife."

"Finding herself cornered, Sayaka panicked and ran in the bathroom."

"The killer went after her, but couldn't get the bathroom door opened."

"What they didn't know is that my bathroom door got stuck easily, and there was a trick to opening it."

"Sayaka knew about that because I told her. But of course the killer had no way of knowing."

"So instead, the killer forced the door open, took the kitchen knife..."

"And stabbed Sayaka."

"But with what strength she had left remaining, Sayaka wrote a dying message."

"To keep the killer from noticing, she wrote it on the wall behind her."

"And with that, all her strength was gone."

"With Sayaka dead, the killer quickly began destroying the evidence."

"First they took off their shirt, which was covered in their victim's blood."

"Then they took the lint roller in my room and cleaned up the entire area."

"They wanted to make sure they got rid of any trace they'd ever been there."

"Afterwards, the killer headed to the trash room to destroy their bloody shirt."

"They tried to burn the shirt using the incinerator there."

"But the trash room was blocked off by an especially sturdy gate, preventing access to the incinerator."

"So they came up with a plan to use Hiro's crystal ball, which he left in the laundry room."

"The killer managed to throw the ball through the gap in the gate, and hit the incinerator switch."

"For any normal person, that would be an impossible throw. But the killer had the confidence to take a shot."

"And that's because the killer... was the Ultimate Baseball Star!"

"The crystal ball, thrown with absolute precision, hit the incinerator."

"Which then quickly roared to life!"

"Having destroyed the final piece of evidence, they left the area with I imagine, a sigh of relief."

"But there was one thing they missed."

"Part of the shirt they'd thrown into the fire burnt away, and fell out of the incinerator."

"The killer didn't notice this, and so left behind a piece of indisputable evidence."

"Isn't that right, LEON?"

"It would appear that Hiro simply forgot his crystal ball in the laundry room."

"You went there to try and wash the blood out of your shirt and that's where you saw it, right?"

"Seeing the ball, you thought of a way to take care of everything."

"The screws on the bathroom doorknob were removed."

"I wonder what kind of tool the killer used to remove that."

"But the toolkit in my room had clearly never been used."

"Okay, then whose toolkit did the killer use?"

"It had to be their very own toolkit!"

"Leon, would you mind showing us your toolkit? If I'm right about this, then-"

"The screwdriver would show some evidence of being used!"

"Can we agree that the object that dealt the fatal blow was the dumbbell found at the scene of the crime?"

"It was covered in blood, and there was nothing else at the scene that could've caused that kind of injury."

"I might know one reason he could be involved..."

"I found this file while I was looking around at the library."

"I guess it's some kind of confidential file the police put together about the Genocide Jack case."

"Apparently, in every Genocide Jack case, the killer suspends the body in a certain way."

"Other than the killer, the only people who know about this are the higher-ups and the police department."

"Is it because Genocide Jack has a split personality?"

"I think I read that somewhere in the file too."

"They thought that the suspect might have, what did they call it? Dissociative Identity Disorder."

"You're talking about how she started acting totally different than usual, right?"

"Then... it's not true?"

"Are the methods of murder really exactly the same? I'm not so sure about that."

"I think there's a slight difference between the Genocide Jack cases and this one."

"Let me rephrase that, in a way that maybe makes more sense."

"There are two clear differences between the Genocide Jack cases and this one."

"For one, the cause of death was different."

"In the Genocide Jack cases, all the victims were killed the same way."

"According to the case file, they were all apparently killed with... a pair of scissors."

"But Chihiro died from a blow to the head, right?"

"Wouldn't it be strange for someone who kills the same way without fail, to suddenly change their method?"

"And there's more, one more conflicting detail."

"Do you remember what the killer used to suspend her?"

"They'd use some kind of rope to hang her up by her wrists."

"Well, in all the previous Genocide Jack cases, something else was used to suspend them."

"Specifically, pairs of razor sharp scissors."

"Big Mac? Are you referring to me?"

"Huh?"

"Is it because... Chihiro was a girl?"

"In all the Genocide Jack cases, all the victims had something in common."

"Byakuya, it's possible you could've found out, isn't it?"

"You'd have no problem gaining access to classified government documents, or internal police records."

"Plus, you already looked through the Genocide Jack file before this all happened, haven't you?"

"Hmm... looking back and thinking about it now..."

"The way you were acting right before we discovered the body was a little strange..."

"You wanted to go to the girl's locker room right away, right? But since you're a guy..."

"On the contrary, there's something very strange!"

"I'll tell you what's so strange about that!"

"Because up until we actually discovered the body, we couldn't have known who the victim was!"

"So your claim that you went to the girl's locker room first because Chihiro was the victim doesn't hold up!"

"Huh?"

"Th-there is, I think."

"Actually, I'm pretty sure you have seen it before."

"Because you see, that rope, or should I say..."

"That extension cord!"

"Byakuya, you've used the extension cord in the library more than once, haven't you?"

"And the same extension cord that went missing all this time..."

"Went missing after the murder!"

"And there's no way someone who uses that extension cord as much as you do, wouldn't discover that fact!"

"Umm, sorry. But can we hold on for just a second?"

"I-I think we need to talk about this a little more."

"I know, but still."

"There's something that's still bothering me."

"You say you killed Chihiro in the girl's locker room, right?"

"But are you sure about that? Isn't it possible that the murder took place somewhere else?"

"Well, I think it's entirely possible that she was killed somewhere else, and carried there later."

"Along with the rest of the murder scene."

"I believe I do."

"The proof that she was killed somewhere else is... the poster that's hanging in each locker room!"

"The poster in each locker room was..."

"A picture of a big-boobed supermodel. But don't you think that's kind of strange?"

"Why would the girl's locker room have a poster like that?"

"Meanwhile the boy's locker room had..."

"A poster of the super popular boy band Tornado."

"Again, that doesn't really seem to belong in a boy's locker room."

"And there's one other thing I noticed about the locker rooms."

"You know what I'm talking about. Right, Sakura?"

"The stain on the girl's locker room carpet wasn't scrubbed away."

"In fact, I found it on the boy's locker room carpet."

"To move the murder scene from one locker room to the other. It's certainly possible, don't you think?"

"In other words, in order to completely swap the scene of the crime."

"The bloodstained carpet and poster were moved along with the dead body."

"By doing this, the killer was able to change the entire room where the murder took place."

"Huh?"

"Ah!"

"No, I don't think Chihiro used Leon's handbook."

"Because Leon's handbook was broken."

"The girl's locker room?"

"What is it?"

"Chihiro was... a guy?"

"Well, without a doubt Byakuya's the one that made Chihiro's death look like Genocide Jack did it."

"But... but I..."

"I think he might not actually be the killer after all."

"He just seems to be too... easygoing about this. Like he's enjoying us solving the mystery."

"The way he's acting, it makes it seem like he doesn't have anything to do with him."

"Plus the evidence he left behind was a little too... how do I put it, overt."

"He consciously chose to use the extension cord, knowing it can connect in to the murder.

"At least, that's how I see it."

"And Byakuya, when you found out the murder took place in the boy's locker room, it seemed to rattle you."

"And then again when you found out Chihiro was a guy."

"If you really were the killer, that stuff wouldn't have any effect on you."

"W-well, I don't think I can say for sure without talking about it a little more."

"Anyway, let's discuss this all as a group one more time. We still have time to make our decision."

"I believe someone else did see the victim before he was murdered, what do you think Celeste?"

"But knowing what we know, I can't even guess."

"Huh?"

"Hold on a second, Mondo! What did you just say?"

"When Celeste testified a few minutes ago, she said..."

"She never said anything about the jacket's color!"

"So why did you say Chihiro's blue tracksuit?"

"And before we began the trial, did you tell anyone that?"

"No, that can't be it either. According to Celeste's testimony..."

"When Celeste noticed it, Chihiro made a point of making sure the jacket was completely in the bag."

"If you just ran into him briefly, you couldn't possibly have seen what color the tracksuit was."

"But why? What made you so suspicious?"

"Mondo, was it really you?"

"Did you really... kill Chihiro?"

"Th-that was fast."

"Oh yeah, that reminds me! Hifumi, weren't you telling me you found some evidence?"

"We know Chihiro's handbook was missing from the scene of the crime."

"You already told us before that the handbook has one weak point, didn't you?"

"You knew it?"

"Anyway, if you found the victim's handbook in the sauna..."

"Then the killer must've been purposely trying to raise its temperature in order to break it!"

"I might know someone who did!"

"I think the one who may have taken their handbook into the sauna was...!"

"Mondo! Your handbook got broken in the sauna, didn't it?"

"Mondo and Taka had an endurance contest in the sauna not too long ago, remember?"

"And for the contest, Mondo just so happened to keep his school uniform on!"

"But little did he realize, he'd also left his handbook in one of his uniform pockets."

"And when it was all over, Mondo discovered taking your handbook in the sauna could easily destroy it."

"Mondo, the handbook you have right now, is it really yours?"

"The broken handbook that was in the main hall..."

"Isn't that one actually yours?"

"What I mean is, I think Mondo swapped out his handbook for one that actually works."

"I think he took Leon's handbook and replaced it with his own!"

"After all, Monokuma said himself that Leon's handbook never should've broken."

"Well Mondo, if I'm wrong about this, you're welcome to say so."

"I'm happy to admit I made a mistake. But..."

"Okay. Then why don't we look back on this case, one more time, from the beginning?"

"That way, everything will become clear. And we'll all see if I was right, or wrong."

"First, let's take a look back to before the incident."

"Last night, Celeste saw Chihiro in the warehouse, correct?"

"At the time, she was apparently stuffing something into a dufflebag."

"That something was a blue tracksuit. You can confirm this, right Celeste?"

"With bag in hand, Chihiro headed out, even though it was officially nighttime."

"She made her way to the locker room. Specifically, the boy's locker room."

"But how could the victim, who was apparently a girl, access the boy's locker room?"

"Simple, because she was really a he."

"Which is why he was able to use his own E-Handbook to gain entrance to the boy's locker room."

"Once inside, he met with someone there. And the person he met was the one who killed him."

"It seems likely that the killer grabbed the nearby dumbbell, approached the unsuspecting Chihiro..."

"...And attacked him."

"And that's where the bloodstains on the poster and carpeting on the boy's locker room came from."

"It was likely in the heat of the moment. The body was arranged, but the murder itself felt unplanned."

"Which is why the killer hurried to try and hide the act. First, pulling up the bloodstained carpet."

"Then, removing the bloody poster..."

"And finally carrying the corpse into the girl's locker room."

"A girl's handbook was necessary to get into the locker room of course."

"But this alone doesn't necessarily prove the killer was a girl."

"After all, Sayaka and Junko's handbooks had been placed in the main hall."

"Using one of those, a boy can get into the girl's locker room without much problem."

"And that's exactly how the killer did it."

"With the carpet and the poster they brought with them, they got to work."

"They changed the layout of the boy's and girl's locker room, in what you may call a crime scene switch."

"That could've been the end of things, but no."

"Byakuya discovered the body and decided to... intervene in the situation. Making things even more complicated."

"So, after stumbling on the crime scene..."

"He went and grabbed the extension cord from the library, and he got to work."

"He used the cord to string up Chihiro's lifeless body."

"Then, using the victim's own blood, he left a grizzly message there at the scene of the crime."

"He wanted to create the illusion that Genocide Jack was responsible for the slaughter."

"And around the same time that Byakuya was putting together this facade..."

"The killer, having already disposed of Chihiro's other belongings, arrived at the sauna."

"There, they planned to destroy the last piece of evidence; Chihiro's handbook."

"And just as the killer expected, the steamy sauna was enough to ruin the electronic gadget."

"Somehow, the killer knew that the handbook couldn't stand up to the heat of the sauna."

"And the reason they knew that is because the sauna had already wrecked their own handbook!"

"And that's how it all played out!"

"Isn't that right, Mondo Owada!?"

"If my thinking so far is right..."

"Mondo must've replaced his broken handbook with Leon's."

"In which case, we can just check each of our handbooks right now."

"Once we do that, we'll-!"

"Huh?"

"Are we sure Hiro really made those blueprints?"

"Well, take a look at this."

"It's the note that Hiro wrote, asking everyone to meet up after Alter Ego disappeared."

"The handwriting's obviously different, wouldn't you say?"

"When you compare it to the blueprints..."

"What?"

"Other than Hiro, I couldn't think of anyone else it could've been."

"Obviously he was the one in that particular suit, and we never found any kind of second suit."

"They were... a dolly and a tarp, right?"

"So, let's see if I can explain."

"Taka's body disappeared from the equipment room, and then we rediscovered it in the repository."

"And when we found it for the second time, it was wrapped in a blue tarp, right?"

"It was the same tarp that up until then, was stored in the equipment room."

"So the killer must've seen it there, and decided to use it when they move Taka's body."

"That way, it won't leave any bloodstains when they were moving it!"

"Same thing."

"I'm sure the dolly was in the equipment room when we first found Taka's body there."

"But when the body disappeared, so did the dolly."

"Later, when Taka's body reappeared in the repository..."

"So did the dolly."

"Huh?"

"If you're asking for proof that the dolly moved, I have it right here."

"When I found the dolly in the repository, one of the wheels had a blood stain on it."

"There was a pool of blood in the equipment room, that matched the dolly wheel's tread."

"The killer probably rolled the dolly through the blood on accident, as they wheeled the body out of the room."

"And as the blood dried on the tire, they moved the body into the repository."

"So there's my proof that the dolly was used to move Taka's body!"

"You're absolutely right that you can push a dolly without the handle if you stoop down low."

"But if you were wearing that suit, do you think you could actually get into a position like that?"

"Think back to what you said when we were all checking the suit together, remember?"

"When you're in that suit, not only can you not see your feet, but you can't even bend at the waist."

"Am I right about that?"

"When you can't even see your feet, you really think someone could kick the dolly all that way?"

"I don't think taking off the suit was an option. If you remember..."

"If he could've gotten it off by himself, I don't think he would've let us see him wearing it."

"Showing up in the suit was basically an invitation for everyone to suspect it."

"When Celeste told us that, we decided to split up and search the second floor."

"And soon after that..."

"And then..."

"At that point, we decided to divide up to two groups."

"Celeste, Hina, and I went back to the nurse's office."

"While Sakura, Byakuya, and Toko chased after the suspect."

"When we got back to the nurse's office, we found Hifumi, dead."

"And that's when we heard the body discovery announcement."

"I left Celeste and Hina there and headed back to the third floor, to let the others know what had happened."

"And that's when I told you guys about Hifumi."

"Then the three of us headed to the nurse's office."

"But right after we left the physics lab..."

"We ran into Celeste, who'd arrived after us, and she told us something very surprising."

"We rushed back to the nurse's office, and saw that she was right."

"I think that about covers it."

"Okay, well... if that's true, then what?"

"Hold on, there's no reason to assume the hammers were used in the same orders as their numbers."

"If anything, that's just another way the killer tried to disguise their actions."

"I've got it! Taka's wristwatch!"

"See, look! It broke with the hands pointing just past six o' clock!"

"And that would be his official time of death."

"And before Celeste was attacked this morning, which happened around seven."

"That simple fact slipped past all of us."

"We made the wrong assumption about the order of events, all because of those Justice Hammers."

"Hmm... so what now Kyoko?"

"That's true. We searched everywhere, but we couldn't figure out how to explain his body disappearing."

"And according to what Celeste said..."

"His body apparently disappeared in the one minute her and Hina took her eyes off it."

"But to carry that much weight from the first floor to the third? In that short amount of time?"

"Huh?"

"Was the body discovery announcement that was made... really intended for Hifumi?"

"Maybe. But that was also the same time Taka's body was found."

"So there's a good chance we made a mistake in there somewhere."

"I think we confused whether the announcement was for Hifumi or Taka."

"Exactly! We heard the body discovery announcement twice."

"We heard it a second time in the repository, when we rediscovered the two bodies."

"It didn't seem weird at the time, but it contradicts what Monokuma just told us, doesn't it?"

"Then in reality..."

"When the two dead bodies were rediscovered, one of them was actually..."

"Being discovered for the first time!"

"And that's just part of it."

"There's one other thing that leads me to believe he was still alive in the nurse's office."

"In fact, there was one clear difference between Hifumi in the nurse's office and the repository."

"His glasses."

"That fact alone proves he was only playing dead in the beginning."

"When we found Hifumi in the nurse's office, his glasses were covered with blood."

"But when we found him again later in the repository..."

"They were spotless."

"And, I found the item he used to wipe them clean in the nurse's office trash can!"

"It was a glasses cleaning cloth featuring a certain cartoon mascot."

"One look at the bloodstain on the cloth should make things clear."

"This piece of cloth was used to wipe Hifumi's glasses clean."

"And the mascot on the cloth is the same one that's on the digital camera, right?"

"And who's digital camera was it? Hifumi's, of course."

"I highly doubt anyone but Hifumi would've brought something like this to school."

"Then there's no question; it belonged to Hifumi."

"What I'm saying is, the blood on his glasses was wiped away using his own glasses cleaning cloth."

"But who would benefit from a clean pair of glasses, other than the glasses owner?"

"It could only have been Hifumi."

"That also explains how the door to the repository got locked."

"And the repository door could only be locked from the inside."

"Which means, when Hina and Sakura got to the repository, someone was already inside."

"You're talking about the note Hifumi had hidden away, aren't you?"

"That's right, we found it stuffed in his pants."

"Okay... well, forget about the pants for now. Take a look at what the note says."

"I see, then this note isn't the same one Hiro got."

"In other words, the killer got in touch with another person besides Hiro."

"And that person could only have been..."

"That's right, Taka!"

"The killer used this note to draw out Taka and murder him!"

"No! There absolutely is a connection!"

"The note said to meet at Six A.M., which is the same time Taka was murdered!"

"We've already proven that using his wristwatch!"

"But there's more! Look where the note says to meet!"

"The equipment room, right?"

"So, Taka was murdered at both the time and place written in the note!"

"I think that should be plenty to show that this note was definitely meant for Taka!"

"Most likely, Hifumi stole it off of Taka's corpse after he died.

"When I searched Taka's body, I saw that his lifeless hand was gripping a small scrap of paper."

"If I'm right about this, the sheet of paper this piece came from is-!"

"I knew it! It fits perfectly with the note we found hidden on Hifumi!"

"Yup! They're from the same piece of paper."

"Sorry, no."

"When we found him in the repository, Hifumi was truly and completely dead."

"The second body discovery announcement proves that."

"Those were accounted for in other rooms too. And I don't think either one is big enough to kill someone."

"The murder weapon wasn't a justice hammer at all! No, it was something completely different."

"Specifically, a hammer from the repository. The killer could've easily used that to kill Hifumi."

"Now, all the hammers in the repository were covered in flecks of brick and debris."

"But for some reason, one of them had been scrubbed clean."

"And the reason it had been scrubbed clean was most likely because it was used to commit murder!"

"If the hammer got covered in Hifumi's blood, of course they'd have to clean it off."

"I'd also like to point out that the repository has all kinds of hammers. Big ones, small ones..."

"And even some flat mallet-like ones."

"I think whoever made the justice hammers, used those as a basis for their design."

"Since there was two murders, it's at least plausible that more than one person was involved."

"Risk versus reward... benefit?"

"So in this case, there wasn't one single person committing multiple murders..."

"Instead, each person killed someone, creating two separate incidents."

"And it only looked like one person, because that's how the true killer designed it to look."

"A single suspicious individual, a similar weapon used in each crime, disappearing bodies..."

"By creating one seamless set of circumstances, they made it look like one person was behind it all."

"It was Celeste!"

"The behavior they had in common has to do with the suspicious individual in the suit, doesn't it?"

"The only ones who ever actually saw Robo Justice firsthand was Celeste, and Hifumi."

"S-sorry."

"I just realized another strange thing."

"When we found Hifumi in the nurse's office, who we now know was pretending to be dead..."

"Celeste, you were the first one to say he'd been murdered."

"You wanted to make sure we wouldn't have any doubt in our minds."

"Hina, you were with Celeste when Hifumi's body disappeared, right?"

"She wasn't worried about you. She just saw a chance to help Hifumi sneak out of the nurse's office."

"That's right. There's no reason Celeste should've said 'just like those guys died!'."

"When she said that, none of us had told her Taka was dead."

"So how did you know, Celeste?"

"How did you know more than one person had been killed? And how did you know they were both guys?"

"Because Kyoko had also disappeared, right? So she could've been dead too."

"It's not a picture of the suspect dragging Hifumi away."

"I would say it's a picture of Hifumi dragging the suspect away!"

"No, even if the person inside the suit was unconscious, they could still stand up like that!"

"Because that Robo Justice suit had a certain characteristic."

"Celeste and Hifumi took the suit they'd specially designed and stuffed Hiro into it!"

"That's how they were able to fake that whole thing."

"The point of it all was to make us believe whoever was in the suit was to blame."

"Kyoko, what do you mean by that?"

"That's right! Our last names! He called us all by our last names!"

"So Hifumi was trying to tell us the last name of whoever killed him?"

"Well, no. Hold on, there's one person it could apply to."

"And that's Celeste! She never actually told us what her real name is!"

"Okay, then fill us in. What's your real name?"

"That's it! The handbook!"

"Anytime you turn your handbook on, it shows the owner's name when it boots up, right?"

"Monokuma told us all about it before!"

"So all we have to do is check her handbook and that would clear up everything!"

"That's how we can find out Celeste's real name!"

"Celeste."

"Can you please just tell us what really happened?"

"Please, just tell us."

"Fine then. Let me settle it."

"Let me go over the case again, from the beginning. And shed light on all your crimes."

"And that'll bring everything to and end!"

"Before anything, the killer persuaded someone to help carry out the murder. And that person was..."

"Hifumi. With an accomplice, the killer was able to execute a number of otherwise impossible schemes."

"First, they convinced someone to meet them in the rec room, last night at one in the morning."

"That someone they met with, was Hiro."

"The murderous duo intended to pass Hiro off as the prime suspect. So when they met up with him..."

"They drugged him, knocked him out, and stuffed him into the Robo Justice suit."

"Next, Hifumi positioned himself to make it look like Robo Justice was attacking him."

"While the killer used a digital camera to take pictures of the assault."

"They did all this, just to create evidence that would put the suspicion on Hiro."

"When they were done with him, they shoved him, still unconscious, to the pool room locker."

"And then finally, at Six A.M., they moved into the murder phase of their plan."

"They called Taka to the equipment room."

"And that's where Hifumi killed him, making it the scene of the first murder."

"The murder weapon was Justice Hammer Four, which was left their in the equipment room."

"The reason hammer #4 was used, was to create confusion about the order of the crimes. "

"So, next they falsified two more assault incidents."

"For these attacks, the killers pretended to be the victims, to solidify Robo Justice as the suspect."

"The first fake incident was the attack in the rec room."

"There, the killesr wanted us to see Justice Hammer one, and the Robo Justice pictured they'd taken."

"They wanted to make sure we bought the surprise attack story."

"The second fake incident was the attack in the library."

"This time, they planted Justice Hammer two, and an injured Hifumi to sell us that story."

"With these two incidents, the killers were able to create a certain preconception in our minds."

"That the suspect was increasing the size of the hammers, and attacking people in order as they did."

"We fell right in their trap, and started looking for the suspect based on that, but..."

"While we did that, we left Hifumi alone in the nurse's office."

"This was exactly what Hifumi was hoping for."

"He took a blood packet from the refrigerator, and justice hammer three..."

"And turned the room into a crime scene, in which he himself had been brutally murdered."

"He let out a scream to draw us back, and when we returned, that's what we found."

"Meanwhile, the other group that had been out searching, found Taka's body at the same time."

"So when we heard the body discovery announcement, we naturally assumed it was for Hifumi."

"We'd left the nurse's office, and Hifumi once again took advantage of the situation."

"He simply got up, and made his escape."

"When we learned his body had disappeared, we all rushed back to the nurse's office."

"And once again, Hifumi had the chance he was waiting for. This time, he snuck into the equipment room."

"He wrapped Taka's body in a tarp, and used the dolly to move it all the way down to the repository."

"That explains how each of the bodies disappeared!"

"But even Hifumi didn't know what the true killer had in mind for the final act."

"Their plan all along was to kill Hifumi, and get rid of the one person who could betray them."

"And they did it using an ordinary, everyday hammer from the repository."

"That should cover everything that happened in this case! And the villain behind it all is..."

"Celeste! Sorry, you lose."

"Then you admit it? You're the killer?"

"Taeko?"

"Another reason you suspect them is because Sakura wanted to meet with them, right?"

"Hiro, when we were talking before, you dropped a small piece of paper, remember?"

"It was white with red polka dots."

"In that case Hiro, where did you get that piece of candy?"

"The last time you saw Sakura was... when Hina had to go to the nurse's office, right?"

"I'm not sure about that, Hiro."

"Hina didn't actually give Sakura the candy until after she left the nurse's office. "

"So if that was the last time you saw her, there's no reason you should've had that candy."

"Kyoko, you found the magazine on the magazine shelf, right?"

"If that's true, then what Hiro just said doesn't really make sense, does it?"

"When Sakura's body was found, that magazine was sitting on the shelf nearby, right?"

"That's where Kyoko found it, after we begun the investigation."

"And you weren't at the murder scene, so there's no way you could've seen it then."

"Tell us the truth, Hiro. When did you see the message?"

"I'm completely unconvinced that Sakura wrote that dying message."

"Because if you look at it, the message was almost certainly written using a finger, but..."

"Both of her hands were completely free of blood."

"But, why would you write something like that?"

"That's true, everything you just said, it doesn't explain why the magazine was hidden, does it?"

"By the time the body was discovered, the magazine had been picked up, and put on the shelf."

"Why would you take the time to write that message, then stick it somewhere we might not find it?"

"Really?"

"It had to be Toko, right?"

"Who else would want to hide the magazine, other than the person whose name was written on it?"

"No, you didn't."

"I don't doubt Hiro attacked Sakura with the bottle, but that's not where this case ends."

"If Sakura died from Hiro's single blow, that doesn't explain why she had two head wounds."

"That was the bottle Hiro hit Sakura with, right?"

"That's it! The chess pieces!"

"Inside each bottle, there was a Monokuma figure holding a different chess piece."

"And the piece that was inside the broken bottle we found, was..."

"The Knight! If I remember."

"So we only have evidence for five bottles at the scene, while one apparently went missing."

"The bottle must've been broken!"

"Because there was evidence at the scene that supports it!"

"..."

"That's right! We found evidence that shows there was more than just one broken bottle at the scene!"

"Earlier, Kyoko and I did a little experiment."

"We compared the weight of one of the broken bottles at the scene, to one of the unbroken bottles."

"And what we found was that the collection of pieces was heavier, and the reason for that is..."

"There was actually more than one bottles worth of broken glass!

"Because of what it would reveal about the case."

"The bottle that was removed from the scene was used the second time Sakura was attacked."

"The killer wanted to make it look like there was only one attack, so they had to get rid of their evidence."

"Did you know someone left a hand print behind in the inside of the locker?"

"They must've been hiding in there, and put their hand on the wall without thinking."

"Does this hand print look familiar, Toko?"

"But when you did, you put it back upside-down."

"We found Sakura sitting up-right in a chair."

"If the blow by the shelf was the cause of death, there's no explanation why she was in that chair."

"Sakura was definitely attacked in front of the shelf."

"The bloodstain by the magazines is proof of that."

"No, I don't think that's possible."

"Even before we opened the door to the rec room, Hina and I both got a look inside."

"And at that point, the locker was already open."

"So obviously, Toko couldn't have been hiding in there."

"According to the Monokuma file, Sakura had vomited blood."

"I think we can assume there's a chance this was related to her cause of death."

"In fact, there was even a trace of blood left around her mouth."

"The poison was actually in section A, wasn't it?"

"Protein?"

"Huh?"

"The poison... must've been poured into the protein can!"

"If the protein's in the poison bottle, it seems only logical to assume the reverse is true, right?"

"You're saying they gave her a protein drink, right?"

"The footprints left behind in front of the shelf..."

"That's the evidence you're talking about, isn't it?"

"H-Hina?"

"Me and Hina are the only ones. Oh, so Byakuya, that explains why you-"

"Definitely not!"

"I-I can't believe it!"

"Well, it's just... the two of them were so close."

"Hina, is it true?"

"Did you really... kill Sakura? And if you did-!"

"Why? Why would you do that?"

"Are you talking about the locked room problem?"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Even ignoring the fact that I don't want to believe it, it just doesn't fit!"

"I mean, why would someone leave such a clear clue like a footprint?"

"It's too... obvious! Too easy!"

"Hina, please! I'd like to know too!"

"That story you just told..."

"First you went to Section C to get the poison, then moved to Section A to get the protein, right?"

"Meaning you went from Section C to section A, do I have that correct?"

"Can you repeat that series of events one more time?"

"You said you went to get the poison from Section C, and that's where you spilled the powder, right?"

"And after that, you said you moved from Section C to section A to get the protein, right?"

"But the footprints left from the scene were not moving from Section C to Section A."

"That contradicts what you just said."

"No, that can't be it! Remember what Hina just said?"

"Huh? Me?"

"It's... part of the window from the rec room door, right?"

"The window we broke to get in was light blue, just like that! So I think that must be it."

"What's strange is that, according to what Hina just told us..."

"The bottle of poison was left on the shelf on the chem lab, that is what you said, right Hina?"

"And yet, somehow a piece of glass from the rec room window made its way in the bottle."

"In reality, that bottle of poison most definitely found its way to the rec room!"

"It was there at least until the window got broken. In other words, when the locked room was unlocked."

"There's no other way to explain the presence of that glass, in that bottle."

"Yeah, me either."

"You remember how there was broken glass scattered around the room, right?"

"Well, those pieces weren't just scattered around the protein can."

"We also found pieces underneath the can!"

"And this proves it..."

"It shows that the can must've been put down on the floor, after the window was broken!"

"So it had to be after we got into the room!"

"So you asked everyone about it to eliminate that possibility right out of the gate!"

"No, that's not why!"

"The only explanation is... she drank it from its original bottle, knowing what it was."

"I think it was Sakura herself."

"Hina, did you know that Sakura's foot had a certain yellow powder stuck to it?"

"It did. The same yellow powder that had been spilled by the shelf in the chem lab."

"That powder was yellow, wasn't it?"

"So the powder we found on Sakura... what else could it be but the powder from the chem lab?"

"Sakura must've been standing right there where the powder was spilled!"

"So the person who spilled the powder by the shelf wasn't Hina, but Sakura!"

"And when Sakura dropped the bottle, she dropped it away from where she was actually standing!"

"Which is how she was able to avoid getting it all over herself."

"But the powder still got scattered around, and some of it must've been wound up on her instep."

"Is there any problem with my thinking?"

"No, you didn't kill her."

"The one who killed Sakura... was Sakura herself."

"I can't believe it either. Or rather, I don't want to believe it. "

"But when you really think about it, everything matches up."

"Sakura went and got the poison, she barricaded herself in her room, and she drank it."

"All so she could end her own life."

"And that explains why we couldn't solve the mystery of the locked room."

"The locked room mystery was created by Sakura."

"That's when you picked up the bottle, right?"

"I was too shocked to notice anything, and Kyoko was busy checking the body."

"When you were done, you gathered everyone together, and once you were back in the rec room..."

"While everyone else was focused on Sakura, you quietly placed the can on the ground."

"Honestly, I should've noticed."

"You should've been the first one to run off to Sakura's lifeless body."

"The Hina I know never would've left her side in a situation like that."

"That's enough, Hina. It's over."

"It is!"

"Actually, no. You're right."

"We have to end this properly."

"This case began when Sakura asked a number of people to meet her in the rec room."

"Specifically, those people were Hiro, Toko, and Byakuya."

"But one of them headed out a bit earlier than the others; Toko."

"She got there one step ahead of everyone else, and looked around for a good hiding spot."

"And she found it. She crawled into the locker to get out of sight."

"Then, from inside the locker, she saw Sakura enter the room."

"Next to arrive was Hiro."

"When he got there, he mistakenly thought Sakura was going to try and kill him, so he panicked."

"Without thinking, he grabbed a nearby Monokuma bottle, and attacked Sakura with it."

"Thinking he'd killed her, he hastily began covering up his crime."

"He took a magazine from the table, and forged a dying message from Sakura."

"To that end, he wrote down a name."

"Toko. By writing her name, he was hoping to pin the murder on her."

"But of course Toko had witnessed the whole thing. So as soon as the coast was clear..."

"She jumped out of the locker and hid the magazine on the shelf with all the others!"

"But in her rush, she made one little mistake."

"She put the magazine back upside-down."

"Soon after, she watched as Sakura slowly opened her eyes."

"She also saw the blood dripping off Sakura's head, and fainted."

"This caused her personality to switch back over to Genocide Jack."

"When she woke back up, her second personality also saw the blood-soaked Sakura."

"And she freaked out."

"And just like Hiro, she grabbed another Monokuma bottle and attacked her."

"This explains why there were two wounds on Sakura's head."

"Assuming Sakura really was dead this time, she set about disposing of the evidence."

"She gathered up the broken Monokuma bottle shards, and the queen chess piece."

"And that explains how Sakura was attacked twice with the same type of weapon!"

"But even after those two blows, she was still alive."

"So then, what was Sakura's actual cause of death?"

"It was the poison that Sakura herself got from the chem lab."

"She turned the rec room into a true locked room scenario, and drank the deadly mixture."

"And there, she took her final breath."

"Later on, the rest of us discovered that her body was in there."

"We had to smash the door's window to get inside."

"But someone already knew what had happened, knew that she had committed suicide!"

"And that same someone quietly snatched the bottle of poison from off the ground."

"And while nobody was looking, replaced it with an empty protein can."

"They did all this specifically to place all the suspicion on themselves!"

"In an attempt to guide the trial to a false conclusion!"

"And the one who went to all that effort...

"Was you, Hina."

"That's the full truth of the case."

"Sakura... took her own life."

"And you claimed to be the killer to hide that fact. Isn't that right?"

"Huh? Oh, well, I mean-"

"Umm, okay? So I just have to prove that the corpse isn't Kyoko, right?"

"Then let's compare Kyoko's traits to the traits of the dead body."

"I'm talking about her gloves. They'll give us some insight to the mystery, I'm sure of it!"

"No, there's no way the corpse was wearing gloves!"

"Whoever it was, they were wearing fake nails, remember?"

"I imagine trying to wear gloves over nails like that, would've been a pretty big pain."

"Besides, Kyoko wears gloves to hide her hands, right?"

"It'd be pretty weird for someone who's self conscious about their hands to wear fake nails, don't you think?"

"Then that's that! The dead body doesn't belong to Kyoko!"

"There was one clue left behind that we can use to identify the body."

"The key to figuring out who it was..."

"Is the tattoo on the back of her hand!"

"The Fenrir Mercenary Core. That's the name of the military group Mukuro Ikusaba belonged to."

"The representation of Fenrir is... a wolf."

"Exactly. The body we found had a tattoo of a wolf."

"Which means that person must've once belonged to Fenrir!"

"So it must've been Mukuro!"

"You've narrowed it down to... Kyoko and me, right?"

"Umm... I have something I'd like to say regarding the whole alibi thing."

"Well, before that, I just want to try and get a better idea of what time the murder took place."

"Doing that might reveal some kind of clue."

"The body must've been discovered at Nine A.M., since that's when Toko went to get the pickaxe."

"For me, I was already sleep before nighttime hit, so I don't have an alibi after Ten O'Clock."

"But I'm sure I met up with everyone else before Nine this morning."

"Actually, the murder couldn't have happened anywhere near Ten O'Clock, it had to have taken place way later."

"Because of the sprinklers in the garden."

"The sprinklers are set to go off right at 7:30 every morning, right?"

"So if the body had been in the garden before 7:30..."

"Then it should've been completely soaked!"

"Sorry Toko, but you're wrong."

"No, I'm saying that the body was wet, but not because of the sprinklers."

"Just remember what the body was like after the explosion, and you'll see why it wasn't the sprinklers."

"The top-half of the body was wet, yes. But the bottom-half was completely dry."

"If the sprinklers got the body wet, shouldn't the whole body have been wet?"

"Let's just... move on."

"The reason why only the top-half was wet, was because..."

"While the body was still on fire, I doused it with water. But only the part on fire, the top-half."

"So if the sprinklers didn't get the body wet, then the murder must've taken place..."

"Sometime after the sprinklers turned on at 7:30 in the morning!"

"Huh? She did?"

"Huh?"

"W-what are you-!?"

"You're talking about the tarp, aren't you?"

"Wait, something's not right."

"But the underside of the tarp..."

"It was totally spotless, right?"

"Actually, one side being clean is pretty strange if you think about it."

"Because... the blood wasn't dry before the body got blown up, right?"

"Byakuya said it himself. Not to touch it, or you might get some on you."

"If you put a tarp on a body in that state, it absolutely would've gotten blood on it."

"Could it have been... chicken blood?"

"When I checked the chicken coop before the murder, there were five chickens."

"But after the murder, there were only four."

"They covered it... beforehand?"

"Umm, I think so."

"Wait, no! The head was through the neck hole, but the arms weren't through the sleeves!"

"Huh?"

"Maybe, but still..."

"Ugh-! That's not-!"

"Ugh-!"

"Y-yeah..."

"It's not that I hid it, it's just..."

"Just because I had the knife once?"

"That automatically makes me the killer?"

"Wait! Hold on, the stab wound isn't what killed Mukuro!"

"That should be clear from the description of the cover up we just heard!"

"No! Don't you remember?"

"The killer covered the dead body with the tarp, and then put the bloody coat on it, right?"

"In other words, the victim never wore that bloodstained coat until after they were dead!"

"So, when we discovered the body..."

"The knife had been thrust through the coat, along with the body!"

"Meaning, if she wasn't stabbed until the coat was put on, and she was already dead at that point..."

"Obviously the stab wound isn't what killed her!"

"The Monokuma File clearly states that there was only one stab wound!"

"...Was just another piece of camouflage set up by the true killer!"

"They probably stabbed her to draw attention away from what actually killed her!"

"Exploding the body afterward was probably meant to do the same thing!"

"The explosion severely damaged the body, making it impossible to know what really killed her!"

"It was all the killer's attempt to destroy all evidence of their crime!"

"After the explosion, we found a tiny fragment of something on the ground near the body, right?"

"That fragment reveals the cause of the explosion!"

"That's only natural, because of course..."

"We saw the same thing when we dismantled Monokuma!"

"It's part of a bomb!"

"Hold on a second, Byakuya."

"Hold on a second, Byakuya."

"Mukuro died because of the blow to the back of the head she suffered."

"The Monokuma File makes it clear that those weren't fresh wounds."

"Mukuro was hit in the back of the head with something, and that's what killed her."

"And that something was... the titanium arrow we found in the locker in the dojo!"

"You're right, just the one arrow would've been too weak. That's why the killer used another weapon."

"Inside the dojo locker, we also found a balled-up wad of duct tape!"

"The killer probably uses duct tape to bind multiple arrows together."

"Bundling them together using the duct tape would easily create a single weapon as thick as a pipe."

"And that's exactly what the killer did!"

"O-oh, umm."

"O-of course I remember!"

"The one thing that proves Kyoko was in the dojo is..."

"Right here. The key to the dojo locker."

"Because... I found it in your room."

"Hold on a second."

"No, it's not that I want to defend her, it's just..."

"There's one more think I need to ask her."

"Kyoko, I want you to tell me something."

"Last night, you were in my room. Weren't you?"

"Why? What were you doing there?"

"That's what I need to know."

"What?"

"If I'm right, Kyoko wouldn't have able to been able into her room."

"Because she had given her room key to Byakuya."

"What?"

"W-wait a second! You've got it all wrong!"

"Let's think about it one more time! There's got to be a hidden side to this case!"

"First of all, there's something off about this entire trial! You all see it, don't you!?"

"Mukuro, who we didn't even know existed, suddenly shows up dead, and then we're thrown in a trial!"

"And Kyoko even said 'It's a trap the mastermind set for us' so that's why-! This has to be-!"

"Huh?"

"What? Time's up?"

"Voting time?"

"Hey! Hold on!"

"There was a lie hidden within Kyoko's statement just now."

"Isn't that right, Kyoko?"

"No, Kyoko could have gotten into a room!"

"You said so yourself, didn't you Kyoko?"

"Kyoko stole it from the headmaster's room! It lets you get into any room in the school!"

"Which means, She could've used it to get into her own room!"

"Huh?"

"Then... are you saying you really didn't..."

"Kyoko, you really..."

"Aren't the killer?"

"Huh?"

"B-but that's ridiculous! Since when is there any-!"

"No! This isn't right!"

"It's not just you three, I have evidence too!"

"The evidence you're all referring to is this group photo, right?"

"Hiro, you have a picture too, right? Let's see it."

"So the secret in these pictures have been revealed!"

"So the whole purpose behind these photos was to get us questioning, and fighting with eachother."

"The mastermind laid a trap to make us each think everyone else was working against us!"

"In each case, the only one not in the picture, is the person who received it!"

"So, in the picture I got, I'm the only one missing."

"In the picture Hina got, she's the only one missing."

"And in the picture Hiro got, he's the only one missing."

"In other words, Monokuma gave each of us a group picture, in which each of us wasn't included."

"Listen, can I see everyone's group photo one more time?"

"It's not directly related to what we're talking about, but I'd like to double-check something."

"But you know, can we really be so sure?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't remember taking this picture either, but..."

"Is that really enough to be absolutely positive they're fake?"

"Let's say that somehow, we'd all lost our memories. That could explain it, couldn't it?"

"Those photos aren't the only thing that point to the possibility of memory loss."

"This DVD does the same thing."

"N-no! It's nothing like that!"

"It's a video of all of us, being interviewed by the Hope's Peak Academy headmaster."

"I mean, all of us. Including you."

"I didn't imagine you would remember."

"The headmaster sat each of us down, one at a time, and asked us the same question."

"He asked us if we could accept the idea of spending the rest of our lives in this school."

"Actually..."

"We all... said we could."

"Even me."

"I heard myself say yes, I could spend the rest of my life at this school."

"I don't know! I don't remember a thing!"

"And this isn't like some normal kind of memory loss!"

"You stole those specific memories from us, didn't you!?"

"You mean the motive you came up with, to try and get us to all and kill eachother?"

"There's no question that the mastermind is somewhere within the school."

"In the back of the data center, I found a panel that controls Monokuma."

"The mastermind must have been using that to control him all this time."

"So there can't be any doubt, the mastermind has been inside the school all along!"

"What? Why me!?"

"W-wait! What are you trying to say?"

"All of the wounds covering her body, that's what really killed her!"

"Consider this, what if the murder itself took place at least a few days ago?"

"No, Mukuro didn't suffer those wounds in battle."

"The file we found in the headmaster's room said as much."

"Despite the time she spent in battle after battle as a member of Fenrir..."

"When she entered the school, she hadn't sustained a single injury."

"Anyway, so we can be sure that Mukuro suffered all those wounds after coming to this school."

"In which case, they can be the very thing that killed her."

"Unless anyone has any better suggestions, I think we can say this with confidence."

"The wounds Mukuro sustained all over her body, are what ultimately killer her!"

"That's exactly what it means."

"When we found her body in the body, she'd already been dead for several days."

"The one who attacked me, was the true mastermind."

"When we discovered Mukuro in the garden wearing the same mask."

"I naturally assumed she must be the one who attacked me."

"But I was wrong."

"It wasn't her at all, it was the mastermind!"

"Mukuro had a tattoo on her right hand, if I remember correctly."

"A representation of Fenrir, in other words a wolf tattoo."

"But I saw the right hand of the person who attacked me."

"And there was no such tattoo!"

"So there's no way the person behind the mask was Mukuro!"

"I thought you didn't want anyone to see those scars."

"No, not at all. I'm positive."

"Mukuro's body was probably kept hidden in the bio lab."

"That's right, it's actually set up for use as a morgue."

"So it's the perfect place to hide a body, and it'd keep the body preserved at the same time."

"And I have no doubt that that's exactly what happened. In fact, I have proof!"

"What makes me so sure the body was carried from the bio lab to the garden is..."

"The tarp that we found in the garden"

"When I was checking it over again, I noticed something."

"I noticed that some text had been stamped on one corner of the tarp."

"This proves that the tarp originally came from the bio lab."

"In fact, there's a whole stack of tarps just like it in there!"

"What one thing?"

"W-why are you bringing that up now!?"

"S-stop talking about that!"

"The inconsistency Kyoko's talking about is... the lights!"

"Like I said before, the bio lab also acts as a morgue."

"And as part of that, a giant refrigerator was installed in there."

"That's where everyone who's died is stored!"

"But I counted up the number of blue lights that were on, including the one Mukuro was in."

"And there were only nine!"

"Ten of the lights should've been on! Any other number is incredibly suspicious!"

"That's right. Any other number should make you immediately suspicous."

"But according to the lights in the bio lab, only nine people were being stored there."

"But if they wanted to do that, they would've destroyed Mukuro's body, since they actually killed her."

"And yet, her body was left alone."

"What about if, the same person was killed twice!"

"Officially, ten murders have been committed so far."

"But one of the victims may have been murdered, and murdered again!"

"If that's the case, there could've been ten killings, but still only nine victims, right?"

"Junko!"

"Wasn't her fatal injury pretty similar to Mukuro's?"

"Well, remember what happened to her?"

"She was impaled by a bunch of spears, all over her body."

"It all matches up, right? Those wounds Junko suffered, could easily be the same injuries!"

"No, the body we found in the body was Mukuro. That's one thing we can be sure of."

"The body's appearance and measurements are consistent with her records."

"Right Kyoko?"

"And then there's the matter of the Fenrir tattoo, so there's no question it's her."

"Junko is still alive, it's the only possibility."

"Huh?"

"She was dead, there's no question, Junko was dead."

"It must be... wrong."

"No, of course not! There's no way I'd give up that easy!"

"That's it! What if she switched places with someone else?"

"That's right! Before the spears could kill her, she got someone to take her place!"

"Specifically, Mukuro Ikusaba!"

"Which is why the body's height, and weight matches Mukuro's profile!"

"The two of them, may have switched places from the very beginning."

"Yes! From the moment we first met."

"If that's when they switched..."

"Then they wouldn't have to switch at the moment of death, right?"

"After all, the one we saw at that point would've already been Mukuro!"

"So Mukuro, the Ultimate Despair, teamed up with someone like her..."

"In other words, it would be fair to say that Junko herself, was also the Ultimate Despair!"

"Then why did you try and protect Junko's real identity?"

"While I was in the AV room, watching the DVD of our interviews with the headmaster."

"You made sure I couldn't finish watching the video, and the reason you did that..."

"Is because you didn't want me to see the real Junko, did you?"

"The video wasn't the only thing you tried to cover up! You did the same thing with this group photo!"

"I noticed it just a little while ago, when we were all comparing the photos we gotten."

"In all the photos, there's a certain similarity, an unusual circumstance."

"Junko's face."

"The one thing common to every photo, is that you can't see her face!"

"It's hard to believe her face would just happen to be hidden, in every single picture. Don't you think?"

"And on top of that, in this photo you can see that Mukuro is clearly visible."

"So in other words, at that point the two of them hadn't switched yet."

"With all that in mind, there's no doubt that the girl whose face is hidden here, is the real Junko."

"Which is why you had to have pictures that didn't show her face!"

"Because if we could've seen her face, then it would've clearly revealed..."

"That the Junko in the pictures, wasn't the Junko that we knew."

"And she's the one behind this whole murderous situation, this whole killing game!"

"She's the true mastermind, and the Ultimate Despair!"

"Don't bother trying to deny it."

"There's no more room for debate! You don't have anywhere left to run!"

"I'll prove everything, right now!"

"We met the Ultimate Fashionista, Junko Enoshima, right after we all arrived here."

"But that wasn't the real Junko."

"The girl we saw before us was actually the sixteenth student, who had taken Junko's place."

"And that girl's name was Mukuro Ikusaba."

"But it wasn't long before she died at the hands of Monokuma. In other words, the mastermind..."

"Junko Enoshima."

"Her body was kept in the bio lab, which had been converted to a morgue."

"Until Junko decided to put her body to use."

"Junko dragged the body out of the bio lab, using the tarp to carry her to the garden."

"She fabricated the murder to try and frame Kyoko, who proven to be one big thorn on her side."

"Meanwhile, she wanted us all to think Mukuro was still alive, and hiding somewhere inside the school."

"So she put on a mask, and then attacked me."

"After making sure I gotten a good look at the mask, she left the room."

"Then she put the same mask on Mukuro's body."

"This was all to make us think the person who attacked me, and the corpse, were one and the same."

"Sh wanted us to believe the murder had only recently taken place."

"Finally, by strapping a bomb to the body, she was able to destroy any remaining evidence."

"She needed to hide the body's true identity."

"She had to make sure we didn't find out it was actually the same person we met in the beginning."

"This is the truth behind Mukuro's murder!"

"And the one who carried it out is the true mastermind, the one controlling Monokuma."

"The real Junko Enoshima!"

"That's the whole story behind this incident! Well, what do you have to say to that?"

"That's right! It was before I ever came to this school! I remember seeing a magazine cover."

"And, you were on it!"

"So I was right."

"Then what you told me in the main hall when this all began..."

"That can't be your only reason, can it?"

"How can you talk like that?"

"You sacrificed your own sister, how does that not even bother you?"

"Damn straight! That's exactly what we're going to do! We're going to solve all these mysteries."

"And then... we'll have our victory!"

"You're talking about the motives you provided to try and get us to kill each other, right?"

"The driving force behind the motive you presented us with at that point was human connections."

"It was our past, right?"

"It was money, wasn't it? Greed."

"What's the point of all this? Why are you making us go through this, case by case?"

"In her case, it was betrayal."

"You mean... the world beyond the school walls?"

"Actually, she might remember."

"The other Toko."

"The two of them share certain kinds of knowledge. But their memories aren't linked, right?"

"So you didn't lose your memory after all."

"But, I didn't say anything yet!"

"H-hold on! That doesn't make any sense!"

"There's no way that happened a year ago!"

"I mean, we only came to this school a few weeks ago!"

"If some kind of world-ending event happened a year ago..."

"Then how do you explain the totally normal world we were living in up until then!?"

"If we accept that what you say is true."

"Then we all lost our memories of the last two years, after coming to this school!"

"Hiro, there's something I'd like you to take a look at."

"This notebook right here."

"I found it in the locker room on the second floor."

"If you don't mind, could you take a look inside?"

"It looks like you actually did attend class here at Hope's Peak."

"But somehow, you forgot all about it."

"Figure out, what?"

"The moment I lost my memories... I can't think of any time other than... that day!"

"When I first came to the gates of this school, and step foot in the main hall."

"When I passed out, I was overcome with a strange sensation."

"After I passed out, I woke up in a classroom, with my head on a desk."

"I assumed not much time has passed since I passed out in the main hall."

"You're the one who set things up to be like this!"

"What?"

"It could only have been... the headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy!"

"He wanted to turn the school into a shelter to try and protect us!"

"To protect us... from the despair and tragedy taking place outside."

"That's why he asked us to make that promise!"

"To say that we were willing to live in this school forever."

"And because we had that same hope."

"That's why we all agreed, to live here forever."

"Why? Why would you do that?"

"What are you saying?"

"You're talking about you hijacking the airwaves, aren't you?"

"So you just used us to bring despair to everyone in the outside world?"

"Give and take? You're so full of... shit!"

"Wait, hold on! You've just been going on about whatever you feel like, but-!"

"But there's no reason for us to believe anything you have to say!"

"You say the world's fallen apart, but I haven't seen it for myself!"

"So I don't acknowledge it! I don't accept it as the truth!"

"W-well, even if it's all true..."

"I refuse to give in! I refuse to lose to you!"

"For the sake of everyone you've killed!"

"No! This isn't just some game to us!"

"It's murder! Plain and simple!"

"You stole our memories, invented reasons for us to do it, you've pushed us all into a corner!"

"It's all your fault!"

"What do you mean?"

"What?"

"It's okay, no one would actually vote to kill themselves, right?"

"W-what are you saying? So no matter what, we're doomed!"

"M-me?"

"N-no! That's not it!"

"G-guys?"

"Kyoko!"

"No one... nobody's going to give in to despair!"

"We're not going to lose to you!"

"We won't give up!"

"As long as there's hope, we'll never give up!"

"I refuse to give up! I refuse to get bored! I refuse to throw it all away!"

"I refuse to despair!"

"Because all I have going for me... is the desire to keep moving forward!"

"What the..."

"Before we go any farther, I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Makoto Naegi."

"Ugh-! Sayaka?"

"S-sorry... are you okay?"

"Ah-!"

"Sayaka?"

"Sayaka."

"What are you doing?"

"N-no, not really."

"Searching?"

"Did you lose a contact or something?"

"Ah-!"

"Hey, uh... what are you doing?"

"Oh, sorry."

"Wait, no!"

"What are you doing here? Everyone's super worried, we've all been looking for you!"

"Because... we're all supposed to meet up in the morning and eat together, we made a promise!"

"What?"

"You go talk to him if you want to so bad."

"Oh, uh, nothing. It's just that, Hina was really worried about you, holing yourself up in your room."

"Um, yeah. Sure thing. But, could you open up, just for a second?"

"Huh?"

"He's alive again?!"

"I under..."

"Understand."

"I... understand..."

"I... understand."

"I should... understand everything."

"My goal isn't to get out of here..."

"It's... to stay here."

"Hope..."

"This is all... for hope."

"And that's why..."

"I have to stay."

"I have... to stay here."

"Ah-!"

"My dream just now... what?"

"So strange..."

"Huh?"

"Ugh-!"

"Ahh!"

"Ugh-!"

"\*breathing\*"

"\*more breathing\*"

"Mmm?"

"Kyoko?"

"What the..."

"What did you..."

"What did you... say?"

"Wh-what are you doing!?"

"Dismantling!?"

"But I mean-! That's Monokuma you're messing with, right!?"

"She's not even fazed!"

"Y-you guys!"

"Yes."

"Well I mean, we don't have much of a choice, do we?"

"H-Hina!"

"Are you okay? What happened!?"

"So you're back to normal. Genocide Jack isn't around anymore."

"Hey, I was... hoping to talk to you about something, is now a bad time?"

"Kyoko?"

"Huh? Kyoko?"

"So Kyoko's here..."

"Wait, what!?"

"I... really don't know what to say."

"I guess we... graduated?"

"Huh? Then you guys are all..."

"Ahh!"

"Shoot!"

"Dammit!"

"I've got it!"

"Now I understand!"

"N-no!"

"Hope keeps on going!"

"Ngh!"

"Tch-!"

"Here's exactly what happened!"

"The killer is... you!"

"It... can't be!"

"Is... is this really the end for all of us?"

"I refuse to give up yet!"

"I got it!"
