Danganronpa: Return of Despair

Chapter 1, Part 6

There were pedestals in a circle, they looked to be numbered, they were probably in the order of our dorm rooms. We stood at our assigned numbers based on our rooms. Monokuma was sitting on a throne at the opposite side of the door.

"Now then, let me explain the class trial!" Monokuma exclaimed, "You all had more then enough time to find evidence, so nows your time to use it! You have to find the killer for you all to be safe! Once you think you've found your answer, I will open voting! If you vote right, the killer will be punished! But, if you vote wrong...you will all be punished and the killer gets to walk free!"
"One question," Ayu raised her hand.
"Hm? What is it?" Monokuma asked.
"What do you mean by "punished"?" She asked.
"Ahhh! You will find out eventually!" Monokuma laughed, "Now then, let the class trial begin!"

Monokuma had disappeared into his seat. I guess it was time to start the first trial. I cleared my throat.

"So, apparently, there were a few people seen out of their rooms last night, which were Zenshiro, Asa, Rokuro, Kaz, and Arisa," I explained, "We can guarantee that Rokuro didn't kill himself because of evidence we gathered, so what are all of your alibis?"
"I was up to go to the bathroom, my door got jammed and didn't wanna ask Monokuma," She shrugged, "Don't have a reason to kill Rokuro anyway,"
"Hmm, we can believe that for now, I suppose," Koki sighed.
"Okay, what about everyone else?" I asked.
"My business, I have a right to not tell you," Kaz responded, crossing her arms.
"Now's not the time to be stubborn," I sighed.
"Not my problem, suck it up," She leaned on her pedestal.
"You wouldn't happen to have access to a blade of any kind, would you?" Shichiro asked.
"Why can't you understand I'm not the fucking killer?!" She gripped the edge of her pedestal.
"It would be hard for her to be the culprit, it was the boy's restroom," Daisuke explained.
"That may be true for now," I agreed.
"Mamoru, think, did Monokuma say anything about girls being in the male restroom? And there was no keypad or lock to get in," Koki explained.
"Huh? So does that mean the girls are just as guilty?" I was slightly shocked.
"As it seems, yes," Koki nodded.
"So, that still makes you guilty," I pointed at Kaz.
"Get it through your THICK FUCKING SKULL. I'M NOT THE GODDAMN CULPRIT." She gripped her pedestal harder.
"Then what's your alibi?" I asked, leaning in closer.
"NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS." She shouted back.
"Why are you so scared to tell us?" Seiko asked.
"I'm not fucking scared, just," She let out an aggravated sigh, "We're wasting time."
Zenshiro nodded, "She's right,"
"We wouldn't be if she just told us where she was," Isamu rolled her eyes.
Kaz groaned, "FINE. If you all wanna know so much, I'll tell you. I was with Zenshiro,"
"Y- What-?" I was confused. That's a big step for someone who hates him so much.
"Best night of my life," Zenshiro laughed.
"Shut the fuck up, we didn't do anything and you know it." She crossed her arms and leaned on her pedestal, "Can we move on now?"
"Now that we know that you're both in the clear, yes, we can," Koki nodded, "But let's talk about that later,"
"LET'S NOT." Kaz banged on her pedestal.
"ALRIGHT, SO," I shouted over them, "We know that Rokuro, Kaz, and Zenshiro can't be the culprits, so Arisa and Asa are back in the suspect zone,"
"What?! I already told you where I was!" Arisa yelled.
"Your alibi doesn't line up with the story, especially since both restrooms were available, but we should focus on Asa now, we haven't asked her much," Daisuke explained.
"Where was I? I don't really remember leaving my room," Asa shrugged, "If I did, I might've just checked the hallway,"
"No, that's wrong," Kunihiko stated, "I saw you in the dining area, you went into the kitchen shortly after Rokuro did,"
"Ah, that's right! I forgot, I went to get a snack!" Asa smiled.
"I don't recall you were carrying anything when you left," Kunihiko replied.
"Huh? Really? I thought I got something, I might've been half asleep still," Asa giggled.
"You did leave with Rokuro, maybe you guys shared a snack, I'm not sure though," Kunihiko nodded.
"I think you might be right! He went to use the bathroom, but he left his wrapper on the floor, I heard someone coming down the hallway, so I ran away!" Asa exclaimed.
"Arisa, did you see anyone when you went to the bathroom?" I asked.
"Huh? Well, I did see someone run from the boy's room, but I didn't see who," She nodded.
"Asa, are you sure you didn't go in the restroom with him?" I asked.
"Yeah! I would never go in there! I'm not strong enough to break someone's neck anyway," She shrugged.
"Huh? How did you know about that?" I asked.
"Uh...about what?" She asked.
"The broken neck?" I replied.
"Oh...um...that...um..." She looked around nervously, "I didn't mean to say that! Aha!"
"Hmm? You're sounding more and more suspicious!" Seiko smiled.
"I think we know who the killer is," Zenshiro was leaning on his pedestal as well.
"N-No! That's not true, I never ran out of the bathroom, and I never took the blade! I got scared and ran away!" She slightly shouted.
"Did you really? Your statements aren't lining up," I pointed out. I needed to run this out.
