The Vocalist Returns (Danganronpa 2 X OC)

Trial 2-2: Ice Flow

Trial of Honour

Silhouette: I wanted to test you all.

wait...what?

Aria: Test us? What do you mean?

Silhouette: I knew Redhead was innocent the whole time.

Mahiru: So you framed me for the murder, yet you knew the whole time that I was innocent?!

Silhouette: You see, I wanted to know if you can spot her innocence in question. And in a way, I'm glad I framed her, not only did you proved her innocence, but we also got closer to the killer's identity.

Chiaki: If that's the case... how did you know she was innocent all along?

Silhouette: Remember when I told you I went back to Aria's Cottage? I did go back... just not right away.

Hajime: Is this going somewhere?

Silhouette: When I saw Redhead going to Holoskan Beach, I followed her thinking she up to something suspicious, it was at that moment I saw her go into the Beach House, so I eavesdropped by listening through the wall.

Mikan: What did you hear?

Silhouette: I heard Redhead talking to Fuyu about the game, she apparently wanted to make amends with Fuyu, and from the sounds of it, Fuyu planned on killing Redhead.

Nekomaru: So Fuyuhiko planned on committing a murder?

Silhouette: He did sound reluctant though, I think he didn't want to go through with the murder. But that wasn't everything I heard, I didn't stay for long, but I did long enough to hear a third voice in the Beach House.

Nagito: Which means... someone else was in the Beach House with Mahiru and Fuyuhiko. Hey Monokuma can I ask you a question?

Monokuma: I believe Prince Shotoku was from the future. A man from the future is always directing the flow of history.

Nagito: I'll listen to your story about men from the future some other time. As I recall the body discovery announcement is made when three or more people discover a body right? Is the killer also included among those three or more people?

Monokuma: Y-Yeah.. that's true but... well... something like that... is basically what it's supposed to be...

Nagito: You don't sound very articulate.

Monokuma: Jeez! Your pretty annoying for noticing something like that! I know it sounds like an excuse but the body discovery announcement isn't supposed to be used for deduction. It's meant to create a fair trial... it's supposed to let everyone know a body's been found.

Nagito: So you're saying it's unfortunate I used it for deduction? I understand your excuse but... Depending on who found the body it's possible that your "three or more people" rule could be deadly.

Monokuma: Well... as long as I keep something's ambiguous, I can respond to situations with some flexibility.

Nagito: Flexibility huh? So what about it? Is it three people including the killer or not?

Monokuma: Jeez! Fine, Fine, you want me to say it!? It doesn't include the killer this time Okay? All done.

Nagito: This means three people other than the killer discovered Fuyuhiko's body. If Mahiru is one of those three people, then it set off when Hajime and Kazuichi discovered the body.
