POV - Nikei
The elevator descended deeper and deeper as we all struggled to think of anything positive to say. Someone among us had so coldheartedly murdered two more of our friends, after all... two of my best friends. And for what? With the motive this time being what it was, why would anyone pick now, of all times, to kill?
Finally, the elevator came to a stop with a loud creak, and the doors opened up into the familiar trial room. This time, Monokuma had decorated it in light yellow and sky blue and white.
Purple and teal lights shone from the ceiling above, bathing the room in cool, calming colors.
There was a new addition made this time. Three new portraits.
Yoruko's face was crossed out with an 8-bit X. Shinji's face was crossed out with what seemed to be two stylized dragons. And with Kanade, a skull had been drawn all over her entire face, complete with some cross bones underneath it.
And so, as we took our places, the curtain to the third class trial was about to open.
Shinji Kasai, Ultimate Yakuza, and Kanade Otonokoji, the Ultimate Alchemist... Shinji was shy around girls, yet so sweet... Kanade didn't remember her talent in the beginning of the Killing Game thanks to amnesia and was comfortable with revealing her talent once she remembered it... the day before she died.
...The person who killed them both is among us. I still don't know if I can believe it... but whether I believe it or not doesn't matter anymore. Unless we figure out the truth, we'll never escape from this hell.
...That's why... I must find it, no matter the cost.
For my own sake.
For my friends' sake.
For Shinji... and Kanade.
CLASS TRIAL, IN SESSION!
"Women and men..." Monocrow started.
"You forgot about that non-binary bastard over there." I pointed at Kokoro.
"Ignoring the fact you called me a bastard, Nikei..." They spoke.
"So then. Women and men and non-binary bitch," Monocrow restarted. "Welcome to our third class trial. Third time's the charm for the 9 of you!"
Hibiki literally growled. "Shut up!"
I couldn't blame the anthropologist. After all, her sister was gone.
"Anyways... Let's get this class trial started~ Solve our little murder, my dear students~!!" Monocrow laughed.
"Okay then," Hibiki crossed her arms, "everyone close your eyes, and whoever did it, raise your hand!"
"Are you for real? Are you really that stupid to think that would work?" asked Mikado.
Setsuka and Iroha snickered quietly at their podiums.
"Who killed my sister?!" Hibiki demanded.
Setsuka and Iroha's snickering grew louder.
"We should discuss the murder weapon first." I spoke.
NON-STOP DEBATE, START!
Nikei: This was found during the investigation.
Mikado: A hammer, huh? It was found during the scene of the crime, Nikei.
Setsuka: Shinji and Kanade went to the indoor pool, guys!
Setsuka: So... where does everyone think the hammer came from~?
