Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair

Chapter 64: RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Final Class Trial (Part Three)

Kazuichi: "We figured out that Nagito died from poison, but... so what? In the end, it doesn't change the fact that he committed suicide, right? Then enough already!"

Akane: "Nagito inhaled the poison he prepared and died... yeah, that still sounds like a suicide."

Fuyuhiko: "Well, with this, we have a clearer picture. We've also determined the true cause of death. All right, all the mysteries should be solved now. We should get on with the voting time, right?"

Hajime: "W-Well... but..."

Kazuichi: "What? There's still more?"

Hajime: "..." Not all the mysteries have been solved yet. In the end, Nagito's motive is still unclear. Did he commit suicide just so he could kill every last one of them? Was that really his motive? 'Is that... really okay?'

Fuyuhiko: "H-Hey, what happened? There's no reason to wonder about that stuff anymore, you know."

Hajime: 'Nagito's motive... Nagito's malice... is this really okay? Can we really finish this here? No... that can't be...'

Chiaki: "There might've been... an accomplice."

Hajime: '...Huh?'

Sonia: "C-Chiaki? What did you just say?"

Chiaki: "If Nagito committed suicide by inhaling poison that he brought... then why wasn't there anything that looked like poison at the crime scene?"

Akane: "Anything that looked like poison?"

Chiaki: "If Nagito brought poison to the warehouse, it's strange that we couldn't find it there." If Nagito really brought poison to the warehouse, then its jar or container would've been left behind. After all, the poison had to be in some sort of container since it wasn't safe to have around without something covering it up, like a lid.

Hajime: "Are you... talking about the container the poison was kept in?"

Chiaki: "Yeah. If Nagito brought it, it's strange we couldn't find that container anywhere, right?"

Akane: "He can't carry around poison without putting it in a container?"

Hajime: "Yeah, that was written on the warning label. Keep this liquid secure by storing it in a cool place in a glass or plastic container, away from sunlight."

Fuyuhiko: "The container... probably melted in the fire."

Chiaki: "It's most likely plastic or glass, right? There's no way it'd completely incinerate. Even the plastic fragments of the fire grenades we used to put out the fire didn't completely burn up, you know?"

Hajime: "Then... does that mean someone got rid of the container?"

Akane: "So that's why you mentioned an accomplice!"

Sonia: "T-That is impossible! I mean... an accomplice?"

Kazuichi: "L-Like... does that really matter all that much? I mean... even if he had an accomplice... it doesn't change the fact that Nagito still committed suicide."

Fuyuhiko: "Y-You're right... someone might've accidentally taken it away from the crime scene."

Akane: "Hmm..."

Kazuichi: "Isn't it okay to close this case yet? I'm not in the mood for unexpected twists!" Hajime could see the uncertainty on Akane's face, that's why she hasn't agreed with Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi. Sonia didn't look like she could believe in an accomplice, and Chiaki was still thinking. But to be fair, Hajime didn't want to hurt anyone. He didn't want to get hurt anymore by hurting someone else. Everyone's tired, tired of doubting everyone else. He also felt the same way. That's why he wants to just rule this as a suicide. If he did that, nobody here has to get hurt. But if he did that, he would be ignoring clues that haven't been discussed yet.
