Chapter 2: Innocence Lost, Part VII (Class Trial)
----
All the votes had been cast. The screen had turned on. The roulette wheel was spinning. It landed upon Usagi's face. The jingle played, the confetti fell. We knew the truth of this case.
Usagi Hino, the Ultimate Heavy Metal Guitarist, was the murderer of Masato Oda, the Ultimate Fast Food Worker.
The only mercy that would be offered to her was a final chance to explain herself. Then Monokuma would kill her. End of story.

Kira: I thought we were better than this!
Iori: No, we aren't.
Kira: This wasn't supposed to happen!
Shouko: Sorry lady, but Masato was a loose cannon. Could have saved him from himself, but what's done is done.
Nanae: Again? No... No way... Usagi, of all people?
Homura: I can't believe it myself-
Reiji: But that's the truth. The hard truth, Homura.
Homura: I know.
Tetsuo: So, Usagi Hino. You've learned one final lesson today.
Usagi: Don't you dare preach to me! You're Sparkling Justice!
Tetsuo: Have you ever stopped to consider that this foul beast would disregard any motives?
Monokuma: Yep! The motive means nothing in this madhouse!
Tetsuo: Exactamente.
Usagi: I could have done better. (sniff) I could have done-
Asuka: Done what?
Usagi: I could have made it out. I could have used all the money I made to right all the wrongs I never spoke up against.
Ukyo: Explain to us what you could have done.
Usagi: The music industry's rotten to the core. The managers exploit young talent, some to the point that they would take their own lives.
Mayu: Hmm...
Usagi: The established performers think that they can do whatever they please: they do drink and drugs and sooner or later they ruin their lives! Every last one of them!
Sasuke: And why should we bother listening to your sob story?
Usagi: I do! I heard about all the horror stories myself, and when I realised that it was either get out of here alive or die trying, guess what I chose? I tried living. And I thought that cleaning it all up would be the best way to atone.
Reiji: For killing us all?
Usagi: Yeah... that...
Iori: And you chose "die trying". Sounds about right.
Usagi: Of course.
Chie: I don't care!
Usagi: Eh?
Chie: You were my friend, ribbit! And yet you was going to get us all killed, croak!
Usagi: So-
Chie: I hate you, Usagi! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!
