CLASS TRIAL
ALL RISE!
"Let's go over the rules of the class trial!"
Monokuma sits on his large golden throne, looking over the students who were standing in a circle, each having their own podium. The podiums have name tags on them, making sure that everyone ended up where their twisted headmaster wants them to be. Even Mana has been granted her own podium, with a monochrome portrait of her standing in the place where the others would have prefered to see her. A pink X marks her face, making it all the more evident that she is gone. All that's left for them to do is find the one who took her life.
"With the evidence, you'll have to figure out who murdered Ishikawa Mana! The end result will be determined by a vote. If more than half of you votes for the blackened, only they will receive punishment." Monokuma snickers, a truly sinister smile on his face "However, if you point at the wrong person, I will punish all the innocent students, and the culprit will be free to leave the school trip! Good luck!"
"You c-can't just thrust us into th-this without any starting p-point." Chinami clasps her hands together in front of her, tears still shimmering in her eyes like broken glass.
"Rude." Kaya huffs, brushing some hair out of her face while keeping one hand on her hip.
"We have to get started either way, so allow me to help you out." Daichi smiles, holding out his arms "How did Ishikawa-san die?"
"Have you been living under a rock?" Eri deadpans, crossing her arms "It was... asphyxia." Her voice becomes softer near the end of her sentence, hesitance shining through.
Minoru sends a concerned look her way, but Eri brushes it off, rubbing her own upper arms. She suddenly looks a lot smaller and less mean than she did before having to see the lifeless body of Mana.
"Excellent work, Hanai-san, even though that wasn't what I was getting at." Daichi flashes the doll maker a smile, only receiving a glare in return "I'm sorry you didn't understand my phrasing, so let me put if like this: how did the blackened student among us kill Ishikawa-san?"
"Get your ego out of the ceiling. You just had a stupid choice of words." Arisa has her arms crossed and was looking to the side, now turning her head to look at the others "The cause of death was obvious: strangulation."
"Isn't that still too broad? Maybe we should narrow it down further?" Hikaru suggests with a smile, holding up a hand.
Truth bullet used:
Kaori's autopsy: Kaori confirmed the cause of death and injuries. The contusions were shaped like thumbs and a few other fingers. There were also marks and scratches on Mana's neck.
Youta sighs and adjusts his mask "So... the killer strangled Ishikawa-san this morning."
"We just established that. Pay attention, you dumbass." Kaori scoffs and crosses her arms.
"How c-could someone even g-go through with that?" Chinami asks, clutching her hands close to her chest while she bites her lip and closes her eyes.
"Being human, that's how." Ryoko's robotic translator speaks for her while the cardist rolls her eyes.
"We found a small piece of rope at the crime scene..." Hachiro softly says before looking at the floor again, frowning "But... that was way too short..."
"I just wanna go to bed already..." Mai sighs, her elbows resting on the railing of her podium. She uses her hands to hold her chin.
"Maybe, the baddie hid the rope?" Jihun's hand shoots up and he smiles, resembling an excited child in a classroom.
