Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 4 Part 21 (Trial)

My mind was racing with thoughts. Sumana killed Randi's best friend... So why didn't she say anything to Randi before this chapter? Why did she still act so normal?

Yu Xuan: Randi... Are you okay?

Randi wiped a couple tears off of her face, but she seemed relatively undisturbed.

Randi: I saw this video...

Ashlyn: We all just did.

Randi: No, Monokuma showed it to me the night I became the traitor. You had no idea how I had to deal with that information alone, how many nights I couldn't sleep, while I still had to be positive around everyone so I wouldn't get found out.

Chloe: So what does this all amount to?

Randi: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act out this way... I just wanted to avenge my best friend, but I didn't need to kill Sumana. She did it in her own self defence, and I should've just forgiven her. K is long gone, but Sumana wasn't, and she probably felt...

More tears fell from Randi's eyes, but she tried to conceal it.

Randi: She probably felt so guilty for doing it... What have I done? I'm just like the killers before me, and I thought I swore I would never be like them.

Randi: I thought we would all leave this place together...

Hanako: Don't worry Randi, we forgive you.

Randi: You do?

Yu Xuan: We do?

Hanako: I hope that after killing Sumana, you finally found the peace you were looking for.

Randi: I did, but that's what makes me so sick.

Hanako: Go find your best friend, Randi. I hope you both finally get to reunite. It will all be okay in the end.

Rachel: Yea, don't be too guilty.

Sophie: Sumana wanted to die anyway I don't see the fuss.

Ashton: Sophie!

Randi: Thanks guys, it means a lot knowing you guys don't fault me for what I did.

Chloe: Mmm, partially.

Ashton: Let's wrap things up, we don't want this trial to drag on forever.

Ashlyn: Okay then, for real this time, I'll show you what really happened.

- - - CLOSING ARGUMENT - - -

Ashlyn: This is the truth of the case!

Ashlyn: It all started after the night of the third trial, when Sumana, the victim, was brought back to us with her robotic arm. She had lost her real one before Hannan's execution while trying to stop her from being executed. Since Miyoshi had died, and Hannan and Annan had died before her, Sumana no longer had any of her original friends with her, and she probably didn't have much will to live anymore.

Ashlyn: After that, while we were all at the cafe and the culprit was making coffee for us, they revealed that they were not the first choice for the ultimate barista, and that it was their best friend. They told us that their best friend had given up the place for them, which we thought was sweet at first, but now we know the truth.

Ashlyn: The culprit's best friend, also known as K, was almost a victim of Hannan. She was close friends with Annan, but once Hannan heard that K had her own best friend, she chose not to murder her. However, Hannan already planned to kill on that day, and she tried to murder Sumana, locking her inside the cafe's kitchen freezer and almost leaving her there to die. But Sumana managed to escape after convincing Hannan to let her go as long as she didn't talk to Annan anymore, and as long as she she didn't expose the serial killer's secret. They even made a pinky promise.
