I headed to the red doors Monokuma mentioned over the announcement. I was curious about what would be on the the other side. So, I entered and everyone else was inside. The room was small and bland with a kind of gate on the back wall, blocking something that I assumed was an elevator shaft.
"You're late, Draco!" Taka suddenly shouted, which caused me to have to cover my ears. "We've all been waiting for you!"
"Hmph," Toko said. "I bet y-you were afraid you would be discovered as th-the murderer you are..."
"Let's not jump to conclusions just yet!" Taka said. "Save that for the class trial! There we can all reveal the details of Draco's crime!"
I looked down at the floor and hugged Flower, really needing comfort at the moment. All eyes were on me and it made me uncomfortable.
So they really are convinced I did it. But...

I didn't do it. Me and Sayaka both know that all too well...But then, who *is* the killer? The one who murdered Sayaka...Is it really one of us?
Suddenly, the monitor turned on and Monokuma's stupid face appeared on screen.
"Puhuhu...Is everyone here?" Monokuma asked. "Okay then...Please board the elevator in front of you, which will transport you to the courtroom...where all your fates will be decided. Puhu. I'll meet you all down there. I'll be waiting..."
The elevator gate opened and everyone didn't move or do a thing. I looked over at Kyoko, but she didn't look at me.
"...Let's get started," she said, her eyes on the floor.
I looked over at Taka.
"Relax!" he said. "I haven't decided 100% that you're the culprit just yet!"
Maybe, but you're obviously leaning that way...
I looked behind Taka at the elevator, not wanting to talk to anyone else. Besides, they didn't want anything to do with me. And because they didn't want anything to do with me, it made me feel alone in this small room, full of other much better ultimates.
I guess I have no choice but to get on this elevator...
"Let us begin..." Sakura said getting on the elevator.
"Good idea," Celeste said, following after Sakura.
Eventually, everyone got on the elevator, leaving me all by myself. Until...
"Are you scared?" Kyoko asked.
"N-No, scared isn't quite right..." I said.
"I said it before, but it's up to you to uncover the mysteries surrounding this case yourself. If you don't, you'll never come to grips with the truth."
