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.

Lammy: Well, where should we even start?

Petunia: I just want to know who did it...

Flippy: M-Me too! Why would someone kill two people? Losing one more of us is bad enough but killing two people!? It only makes it worse knowing that a baby was one of them...

Handy: Calm down, that's what we're here to find out.

Cuddles: But, what should we even talk about first? Even if this is our third class trial, I'll never get used to doing these...

Handy: Well, the first thing we should figure out is who we know the killer can't be.

Handy: Obviously, Russell and I didn't do it because... Well, y'know, plus we were together the entire time last night and can confirm each other's alibis.

Cuddles: Man, what are you two doing when you're together?

Handy: Doesn't matter, so unless anyone can prove us wrong, neither one of us can be the culprit.

Toothy: Well, it can't be Mime or Flippy since they were the first two to see Giggles's body.

Handy: So that leaves Flaky, Petunia, Cuddles, Lammy and Toothy are our final suspects.

Flippy: But, how are we gonna figure out which one of them did it?

Handy: Well. we know the murders had to have happened last night as Mime and Flippy found them just after the morning announcement.

Handy: So, what were you all doing last night?

Cuddles: Me and Toothy were in the pool just hanging out, and since we were there together, we have our alibis!

Toothy: Yeah...

Petunia: I was just in the cafeteria for a little bit with...Cub.

Cuddles: Huh? You were? What happened to him then!? Don't tell me you-

Petunia: N-No! Of course I didn't murder Cub! Do you really think I'd kill a baby!?

Handy: Then you better start explaining.

Petunia: Like I said, I was in the cafeteria with Cub when Giggles came downstairs and said she was done working and that she wanted to head to bed with Cub.

Flippy: She did?

Petunia: Yeah...

Handy: So, you were the last person to see Giggles and Cub alive?

Petunia: I think so...

Petunia: H-Hey! You're not suspecting me, are you!?

Cuddles: Don't blame us, you have a suspicious alibi!

Toothy: C-Cuddles, what's gotten into you?

Cuddles: I-I...I don't want to do this but...we have to, it's the only way to survive! And I don't want to die!

Lammy: Huh?

Handy: Well, we can't go on and blindly suspect each other.

Russell: I don't think Petunia be thy killer.
