Chapter 5: On the Origin of Monsters, Part VI (Class Trial)

I couldn't believe it.
Shion Nanashi never really existed. All along, she was just a mere alias of Monaca Towa. And now that she had regained her memories...
Shun: Now that we know it, it was blatantly obvious in hindsight.
Momiji: True, true. A green-haired, guilt-ridden amnesiac who could recall details suspiciously similar to the Towa City incident? Who else did you expect her to be?
Monokuma: Well, I'm not surprised. How are you feeling now, traitor to our cause?!
Monaca: ...
Momiji: Now we know who she truly is. And she deserves no apologies-
Daisuke: We should be sorry! We found out the truth behind her... but at what cost? She's broken now. Look at her.
Monaca: (sobbing) I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything...
Noriko: And that's exactly what you think of her. A broken toy that must be fixed.
Shun: Says you! You killed his dad!
Noriko: And Monaca? She killed dozens! She may've even killed Kenji herself!
Daisuke: Look, she's already in a volatile state of mind, and I don't want any of us to aggrivate her further. Monaca?
Monaca: (nodding) Yes?
Daisuke: Do you want to sit the rest of this out? As in, we just quietly leave you alone and let you recover by yourself?
Monaca: ...No. I want to help.
Daisuke: ...Got that.
Momiji: But still, Kenji.
Ringo: Exactly! Let us solve Kenji's murder now, because our lives depend on it!
Monaca: Th-they do...
Shun: I mean, you're treating the guy as a complete afterthought in his own murder! C'mon, dude! I thought you were fucking better than this!
Daisuke: Not anymore!
Ringo: It's just so bizarre how someone such as Kenji could be killed...
Daisuke: And there were some circumstances leading to it. His pre-existing wounds, for one.
Monokuma: Oh, makes me wish I just straight-up killed him, and then we wouldn't be here. But still, a Class Trial is a Class Trial! Fun! Upupupu~
Daisuke: And second, did any of you look at his hands?
Shun: What's so important about them again?

TRUTH BULLET: Kenji's Body

Daisuke: Fingers were clenched up. Look closer, and you'll see that he was tugging at something - almost as if he was being strangled from behind.
Noriko: Strangled, you say?
Daisuke: Yes, strangled.
Monaca: Huh? Is there anything to confirm it?

(Non-Stop Debate)
Monaca: We've got to figure out what we need to know...
Shun: Like the cause of death. Simples.
Monaca: His body was decapitated, though.
Ringo: To hide the cause of death? Maybe. But don't worry.
