Shifty: Now then, let's begin with a very basic explanation of the very exciting class trial!
Lifty: During the class trial, you'll argue and debate over who the killer is and vote for them at the end.
Shifty: If you pick correctly, only the blackened will be punished.
Lifty: But if you pick the wrong one... we'll punish all of you and the killer gets to leave.
Cuddles: Even with all of those rules, this still feels confusing...
Giggles: I just have one question.
Giggles: Is there really a killer among us?
Shifty: Of course! Why else would we be having this trial?
Lifty: Doesn't that just fill you with despair? Knowing someone in this room killed Mole?
Shifty: I know it fills me with despair!
Shifty: By the way... all of these trials are totally fair so you don't have to worry about us rigging them!
Lifty: Now that's enough explaining, start debating!
Flaky: D-Debating? A-About what?
Handy: The murder, Flaky. Did you think we came here to play games and sing about friendship?
Flaky: N-No... I-I'm sorry...
Toothy: But where do we even start? I don't think any of us have been to a trial before.
Toothy: Even if this isn't a normal trial, that just makes this even more confusing... I'm a dentist, not a detective.
Cuddles: Ooh, I know! We should just narrow down our suspects!
Petunia: How?
Cuddles: Well, Mole was killed in his room, right?
Handy: No shit. We all saw that.
Cuddles: So, we just need to find out who was in his room!
Giggles: Couldn't that just be any one of us? I don't think that's a good starting point...
Cuddles: ...Oh, right.
Petunia: But, Cuddles is right, we might as well start talking about his room if we have no other starting points.
Flaky: W-What about it?
Petunia: He was against the wall, wasn't he? That's a strange place to die.
Handy: What's a good place to die then?
Toothy: So...let's just talk about that first.
Cuddles: Ooh! This is just like a real debate!
Handy: This is a real debate!
NonStopDebate:
Toothy: So, why was Mole's body like that?
Flaky: A-Assuming he wasn't killed somewhere else, there has to be a reason for it...
Cuddles: I got it!! I got it! They probably moved Mole's body like that!
Petunia: Why would they need to move it?
Cuddles: To hide where he really died! I'm so smart.
...That's weird, he's not right, I'll have to prove why he's wrong.
Toothy: So, why was Mole's body like that?
Flaky: A-Assuming he wasn't killed somewhere else, there has to be a reason for it...
