Everyone took their spots on the stands. Monokuma began to explain the rules.

"Let's begin with a basic explanation of the class trial! So, your votes will determine the results. If you can figure out "whodunnit" then only they will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong one... Then I'll punish everyone *besides* the blackened, and the one that deceived everyone else will graduate! Now then, to begin with..."

"We already know who did it!", Hina called out.

"Wuzzat...?"

"It was Hiro . He does not have an alibi for when the murders took place, and we found him in that suit.", Celeste said with a smirk.

"Don't try and deny it! You killed them!", Hina yelled.

"I didn't! Someone knocked me out! I was asleep the whole time! I don't know anything about it!", Hiro defended himself.

"Shut your murdering mouth, murderer!", Genocide Jack yelled with her scissors at the ready.

"Who are YOU calling a murderer!?"

"I am sorry to say, Hiro, but we do have evidence... Blueprints for the suit... Parts we assume were used to build it... And all of it was found in your room . You have to admit, the evidence is quite compelling. It points to you as having created the suit and wearing it while committing crime after crime...", Celeste relayed.

"How many times do I have to tell you!? I...I...! I don't know, I don't know, I don't KNOW!"

-MAKE YOUR ARGUMENT!-

Celestia Ludenberg: Everything we found in your room ... The blueprints , the suit parts, they are all proof enough that you are the culprit. (COUNTER WITH YASUHIRO'S MESSAGE)

Makoto Naegi: NO, THAT'S WRONG!!

-BREAK SUCCESSFUL-

"Are we sure Hiro really made those blueprints ?", Makoto asked.

"What do you mean...?", Celeste asked.

"Kuno, do you have the picture of the note?", Makoto looked at me.

"Yep, right here!", I pulled out the picture and showed it to everyone.

"Well, take a look at this... It's the note that Hiro wrote asking everyone to meet up after Alter Ego disappeared. The handwriting's obviously different, wouldn't you say? When you compare it to the blueprints...", Kyoko chimed in after Makoto.

"...there's no way you could think the same person made both of them."

"Unless that person made it a point to disguise their handwriting...", Celeste stated.

"No, the differences are bigger than that, I think.", Sakura mentioned.

"Come on, I'm not smart enough to think of trying to change my handwriting anyway!", Hiro grumbled.

"So Makoto, are you saying you don't think Hiro's the culprit?", Hina asked.

"Not just him... I feel like something about accusing Hiro seems too convenient to be true.", I explained

"And they're not the only one. I think Hiro is innocent, as well.", Togami revealed.

"What...?", Makoto gasped.

"Then who was in that Robo Justice suit!? Is it like Hiro said? Was there really someone running around in a second suit?", Hina asked.

"The suspicious individual hidden within the suit... Go ahead, Kuno. Tell them who it was.", Togami turned to me.
