Chapter 5: Where Angels Fear to Tread, Part VI (Class Trial)

Kaori: (It's true... After everything they did for us... We now have to condemn either Ayane or Daigo to death in order to save us all...)
Daigo: See! I know for a fact it wasn't her! Why else would Madoka have been killed with the weapon I had?!
Kaori: Okay then... Let me have a moment to consider the state of Madoka's body...
Monokuma: ...Don't take ages, firefly.
Kaori: I know. Give me a moment.

TRUTH NEEDLE: Madoka's Body

Kaori: We know that multiple people attacked Madoka before she was murdered. And we have already pinpointed who these people were.

Monokuma: Which is a bit of a problem considering that those who do come up short here end up dead sooner or later, but whatever.
Souta: Something's been bothering me about what happened before hand.
Ayane: As always, Souta.
Souta: No, I'm not curious, I just want some confirmation on whether or not she tried making a bomb. Am I correct, Kaori?

Kaori: Yes, Souta.
Kaiji: Correct? You turn to her for something that is so blatantly obvious?! Have you even learned anything from what happened?!
Souta: ...My apologies if I've offended you, Kaiji.
Kaiji: I mean, no wonder I feel like shit when I'm surrounded by you idiots! Imbeciles, all of you! The blind leading the blind! The-
