Keade Pov:

As we stepped into the trial grounds I watched as Kokichi's face contorted into despair. He looked down at his shoes, and shoved everyone out of his way not even looking up on the way to his spot.

We were over half an hour into the trial before he finally spoke. I think it was Kaito who got him to speak. I dont remember exactly what he said, but he generally said he couldnt be the blackened because he was the one hurt the most by Shuichi's death. That didnt make Kokichi happy...

As soon as the words were out of Kaito's mouth Kokichi was next to him. He had managed to cross the trial grounds in under 2 seconds flat and as soon as he made it over, he punched Kaito square in the nose.

Kaito Pov:

"WHAT THE FUCK KOKICH-" I screamed at him, falling back from the punch's impact.

He interrupted me before I could finish, by grabbing me by the collar and pulling my face very close to his. I didnt know it was possible for a face to be filled with so much pure, utter despair.

"I. Dont. Give. A SINGLE FUCK. ABOUT HOW CLOSE YOU WERE TO MY SHUMAI. DO YOU KNOW WHY KAITO. DO YOU KNOW FUCKING WHY. HOW BOUT I TELL YOU? BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW CLOSE YOU WERE TO HIM IT DOESNT CHANGE THAT HES DEAD AND ONE OF YOU FUCKERS KILLED HIM. ONE OF YOU FUCKING DICKHEADS TOOK HIM FROM ME AND I WILL NOT REST UNTIL WHOEVER DID IT FEELS MY WRATH, GOT IT?"

and with that he let go of me, and walked back to his spot. He was shaking like hell, and the entire group just stared at him in fear, and concern. Even Maki seemed like she was worried.

After that the trial barely moved. For a long time, no one could speak and when they could it ran in circles. Everyone had an alibi, everyone was crying, and it felt like it couldnt have been anyone.

Tsumugi Pov:

"I- i cant do this anymore,"  I whispered. "It was me." My voice was cracked and I sounded horrible, as if my throat had been attacked with sandpaper.

Everyone paused what they were doing, and turned to me. The looks of hatred in their eyes was terrifying, but I had to do it.

"I didn't mean to I just I- Im so sorry please I-" I sobbed. "Please I promise I would never want to hurt you all I jus-"

"Shut up. SHUT UP. YOU JUST WHAT TSUMUGI. YOU JUST COULDNT LET US BE HAPPY? YOU COULDNT JUST- JUST. FUCK OFF TSUMUGI. I dont care what you have to say." Kokichi's words hit me like a slap in the face.  Everyone just stared at me, tears in their eyes. And they voted. I was dead as soon as I spoke up.
