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...
