Alternate Class Despair (DEAD/COMPLETED FOR NOW)

Chapter 3 of SDR2, Part 2: Saihara's Final Case 🕵️‍♀️

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
      Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
      He chortled in his joy.

Saihara walked out of the room to wash himself off.

He hoped nobody would discover Kibo's body, and he would avoid the death sentence.

Sure enough, Kibo's body was discovered.

And sure enough, a class trial took place.

***

"Welcome to the third trial." Mono said.

"Now, who killed Kibo?"

"I already figured out who killed him," said Kaede.

The verdict wheel landed on her sprite as she said this.

Kaede: Saihara walked out of the room covered in blood. That determines the killer!

(A strange silhouette appears)

Kaede: I declare the blackened of this class trial as Shuichi Saihara, Ultimate Detective!

(The silhouette fades out to reveal Saihara.)

There was no protest like with Kirumi or Himiko.

Instead, Saihara stood in front of Kaito, crying.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I will be dead, so carry my love with me."

From the moment Momota became Shuichi's friend, the two had been loyal to each other.

"Goodbye, Kaito."

Saihara then hugged Kaito and closed his eyes.

Any moment now, it would be all over.

***

"GAME OVER.

SAIHARA has been found guilty. Time for the punishment!"

***

Saihara was dropped into a dimly lit room.

"You'll be trapped here forever," said a voice. - Mono's voice.

"Unless you can solve the murder mysteries in each room."

Saihara was scared. After all, uncovering the truth was very difficult for him.

"You'll have a time limit though," said the voice. "And when the time limit runs out, you'll be trapped here forever. Is that clear?"

Saihara nodded his head.

"Mystery Solved!

Ultimate Detective Saihara's Execution: Executed."

And with that, Saihara set off into the rooms.

In them, there were mannequins and rhey stood still, staring at him.

The more rooms he cleared, the more nervous he got, as the number of mannequins and eyes staring at him increased with each new room.

And in the last room, there was a white chalk outline, but there was no victim mannequin body lying in it.

The mannequins looked away in this room.

There were also a lot of unused potential weapons.

"You see, there was actually a death of a thousand cuts in this room, and the victim was finished off with a shot to the chest!" Saihara said, right before he runs out of time.

The final door was luckily unlocked.

"Looks like my time is gone. I'm getting out of here!"

And he turned to run towards the exit.

Just as his hand was on the doorknob, mannequins hands appeared.

With their long white fingers, they wrapped themselves around Saihara's shoulders and dragged him back inside.

The door then locked shut.

A pool of blood leaked from the bottom of the door.

The door slowly reopened on its own.

The mannequins were perfectly back where they were, standing still.

Saihara was lying dead on top of the chalk outline, though. His eyes were open.

***

Kaede screamed.

"Oh my god." Kaito moaned, sounding nauseated. "He's still moving."

It was true. Saihara's fingers gave one last twitch before he died.

"Oh my god..." said Rantaro as he tried to remove the the image from his head.

Angie ran off screen and threw up.

Tenko had looked away, but the image of Saihara getting dragged behind the door was still in her mind.

Angelica stared at the corpse.

Saihara was bloodied from head to toe.

It looked like someone had thrown a balloon filled with bright pink paint at him for his execution.

The previously mentioned weapons were splattered in blood.

"That's bad!" said Kee.

Haven tried her best not to cry. Maki and Neko pulled each other close. Miu had a look of grim determination on her face.

Kokichi only said "Gross."

Mono smiled.

"I know this chapter's execution wasn't as great as Kirumi's execution because of a lack of me and my children." He said.

Victims: Ry-Ry, Kiyo, Kibo

Execution Order: Kirumi, Himiko, Saihara

Reasoning: Saihara wasn't executed in canonical V3. I thought it was unfair. So I made him the third culprit. Happy now?

Fun fact: In this version of SDR2, Chapter 3 is the shortest chapter.
