"It's really not all that shocking," Monokuma said with a grin, despite what literally just happened. "She just died, that's all. Just went and died. It's no more remarkable than the inevitable demise of the entire human race. It's just as natural as the eventful end of the world itself. This isn't some superhero comic. So it's not like when you die, you didn't *really* die. This is reality!"
Kyoko was the first of us to speak up after Monokuma's little speech. "...Why did you have to kill her? Didn't you say you would put her in prison or something?"
"I changed my mind."
"No, you've been wanting to kill this entire time."
"Kill this entire time...? Don't be silly, you can't kill time! Or are you being metaphorical? Are you saying I wanted to waste time this whole time? Come on, what do you take me for? I'm Monokuma! Anyway, none of that matters right now. I have something I'd like to give you to help you in your search for the blackend!"
Monokuma then pulled out a bunch of small, little folders that looked a bit like our e-Handbooks. Written on the front was Monokuma File and then the number 1. His face was also on the device.

"This little file has all the information I've gathered about the death in question," Monokuma explained. "I like to call it...The Monokuma File! I mean, naturally you guys aren't experts at this kind of thing, so you can only do so much with a corpse. So instead, I've gathered up everything I know about the circumstances and cause of death. What's that? How do I know the cause of death, you ask?" No one was asking, you stupid bear. "Cuz the surveillance cameras picked up the whole thing! I got to see it all go down!"
"Wait, so then...you know who killed Sayaka?" Kyoko asked.
"Of course I do! If I didn't, I couldn't possibly pass a fair and accurate judgement during the trial, now could I?"
"That's a good point. The judge has to be able to make the proper decision. That's...somehow comforting."
"Now then, please put your full effort behind your investigation! After all, you don't have any choice but to give it your best shot! Seriously, you don't have a choice! Okay, so we'll meet up for the class trial...in a little while!"
And with that, Monokuma disappeared once again. He left us stunned and confused...He left us at a total loss. He left us with Junko's dead body growing colder right in front of us. And for who knows how long...
...nobody said a word. The fact that Sayaka and Junko were dead was a huge shock, of course. But there was more to it than that...It was also the idea that one of us had actually murdered someone...
