CLASS TRIAL! ALL RISE!
"Let's begin with a basic explanation of the class trial!" Monokuma started. "So, your votes will determine the results. If you can figure out "whodunnit" then only they will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong one...then I'll punish everyone 'besides' the blackened, and the one that deceived everyone else will graduate! ...Okay, well! I'll leave the rest up to you!"
"Well then, let's discuss the specifics of the victim. First, we need to clarify who exactly the unidentified victim is," Byakuya said.
"It's Kyoko! There's no other explanation!" Hiro declared.
"But Kyoko's standing right there...!" Toko pointed out.
"No! That's a ghost!" Hiro argued.
"..." Kyoko stayed silent.
"But...she has legs and stuff," Hina spoke.
"Well that's just because...she's like the latest evolution in ghost technology!" Hiro explained.
"...What is wrong with you?" I questioned.
"There's a limit to how much ridiculousness I can tolerate..." Byakuya muttered.
"Um, okay...so I just have to prove that the corpse isn't Kyoko, right?" Makoto asked. "Then let's compare Kyoko's traits to the traits of the dead body."
"Her traits...?" Hina repeated.
"I'm talking about her gloves. They'll give us some insight into the mystery, I'm sure of it," Makoto said.
"In that case, I think it would be helpful if someone explained why she actually wears those gloves," Byakuya said.
"And would you happen to know the answer?" Kyoko asked him.
"In fact, Monokuma told me. Apparently you have scars on your hands you don't want anyone to see," Byakuya revealed.
"..." Kyoko went silent again.
"Oh! You know, now that I think about it...the corpse wasn't wearing any gloves, right!?" Hina remembered.
"They probably just got burnt up in the explosion! I'm not convinced! The ghost is just trying to fool us all!" Hiro argued.
"Are we seriously going to waste time arguing about this!?" I asked with annoyance in my tone.
"We're gonna be stuck here if we don't, so we don't have any choice but to..." Makoto said.
I sighed. "Let's get this over with..."
-Nonstop Debate! Make Your Argument!-
Hiro: That "Kyoko" there is just a ghost!
Toko: I-Impossible...
Hiro: Okay, then prove it! Prove she's not a ghost!
Hina: The dead body wasn't wearing gloves!
Hiro: They got burnt up in the explosion!
Hanako: We're wasting time here!
Toko: Then...she was wearing gloves before the explosion...?
Hiro: Well, yeah! She must've been wearing gloves!
Truth Bullet: Fake Nails
Makoto: NO, THAT'S WRONG!
-BREAK!!-
"No, there's no way the corpse was wearing gloves. Whoever it was, they were wearing fake nails, remember? I imagine trying to wear gloves over nails like that would have been a pretty big pain. Besides, Kyoko wears gloves to hide her hands, right? It'd be pretty weird for someone who's self-conscious about their hands to wear fake nails, don't you think?" Makoto argued.
