Chapter 4: By the Book, Part VI (Class Trial)

Daisuke: What do you mean by that?
Kenji: Isn't it obvious? I tortured her, but I didn't kill her.
Daisuke: ...
Kenji: You might want to think about the cause of death.
Noriko: Go on, Daisuke-kun! Tell us all how Sumire died!
Shun: It must be in the Monokuma File, right?
Daisuke: We can't use the Monokuma File, Shun.
Shun: Wait, what? Why? It's helped us out all the other times!
Daisuke: Because it's lacking...

(Multiple Choice)
1. The time of death.
2. The place of death.
3. The cause of death.
Answer: The cause of death.
----
Daisuke: The cause of death. It cannot be determined, according to the Monokuma File.
Shun: 'Cause that bastard tortured her to the extent that even Monokuma couldn't figure out what killed her, didn't he?
Daisuke: Not quite. You see, Noriko knows...
Goh: And is that because she's the killer?
Noriko: No, you meathead. Sumire was our coroner, and now that she's gone, I'm the only one with actual expertise and willing to help, ehehehe~
Momiji: You're a murderer, Noriko!
Noriko: Not of Sumire, though. Go on, my beloved! You remember what I said after I inspected her body?

Daisuke: (sigh) I do. Noriko figured out by the water clogged in her mouth and nostrils that Sumire was still alive when the room was flooded.
Ringo: Does that mean she died by drowning?
Daisuke: Most likely.
Monokuma: Ooooh, talk about a watery grave!
Shun: Not funny.
Monokuma: Well, I guess you don't like my sense of humour, don't you?
Shun: No. It was never funny.
Goh: Alright, we know everything now! The cause of death, when she died - and of course, who killed her!
Kenji: Goh, don't even think about it.
Shion: Yo-you...
Noriko: There's still quite a few mysteries left to be uncovered...
Daisuke: So we might as well use the time we have left-
Shun: Shut the fuck up! We vote now!
Momiji: Shun, you're not doing us a favour.
Shun: Just get that son of a bitch executed and get it over with.
Daisuke: Shun! We need all the time we have!
Monokuma: Alright, I know exactly what's going to happen... so I might as well begin it right now!
