Danganronpa: Hearts of Despair

To Survive: Part 18: Class Trial: Getting Close to Exposing the Truth

[Truth Bullet: The Scars]

Dawn: So, let us start with the note. It was said to have drops of blood on it, correct? And we are all assuming that the blood came from Whitty, yes? But one question remains: How do we even know that the note was from Whitty anyway?

Benjamin: I-Isn't i-it o-obvious? W-Whitty's blood is on the paper, s-so it m-must've come from him...

Dawn: There is indeed blood on the paper, but we cannot prove that the blood is Whitty's.

[Truth Bullet Fired]

Ruv: NO, THAT'S WRONG!!!!! Actually, there is proof that both the blood and note most likely belonged to Whitty!

Dawn: Huh? And what is the proof?

Ruv: Has anyone ever noticed the scars on Whitty's arms?

Amy: Not really?

Monokuma: Are you guys stupid or something?! Of course there were scars on the body! It specifically said so on the Monokuma File!

Crystal: Wait, but what do the scars have to do with the case, Ruv?

Ruv: When I took a look at the scars, I saw that they were still bloody, and when I compared the blood on the note to the blood on Whitty's arm, we can prove that the blood and the note were most likely from him!

Dawn: Okay. I guess that kinda makes sense, but that still does not really explain the note. Somebody could have maybe forged it to make it look like Whitty wrote it.

Crystal: But wouldn't it be kinda hard to forge someone else's handwriting?

Dawn: Good point... But what could've possibly led to Whitty doing all of that, anyway?

Silver: Perhaps maybe the video?

Dawn: The video? [She then remembers the videos Monokuma made them watch] Of course! You mean the videos Monokuma made us watch, right?

Silver: Exactly! That could've led to Whitty doing all of that. Cutting his arm, writing that note, and who knows what else!

Amy: So that means Whitty's death must've been a suicide, right?

Silver: That's not set in stone yet! Something else could've happened that killed Whitty!

Kat: We still have something else to figure out. Why was Whitty's door open?

Dawn: Perhaps he wanted someone to go into his room and kill him?

Amy: Or maybe he just forgot to close it!

Silver: No! That can't be the case! The killer must've found a way to get into Whitty's room!

Dawn: And whoever it was, must have been the one who murdered Whitty!

CJ: Of course! We figured it out! We know who did it! Whoever was the person who went into Whitty's room that night is the culprit!

Scourge: We already know that, you dipshit! Besides, we don't even know who that person is!

Dawn: Whitty must have tried to fight with the killer. Perhaps the answer to our previous question lies in that initial struggle.

Espio: Yes, I think you're right.

Kat: Then... we just have to figure out what happened during the fight, right!?

Twilight Sparkle: That reminds me... There was a replica sword at the murder scene.

Dawn: Was that perhaps used during the fight?

CJ: Oh yeah, what's the deal with that sword?

Ruv: Whitty suggested I should hold onto it. I thought it might come in handy if I had to defend myself...
