Everyone entered the trial room. Dribble got to his stand, and saw a stand bearing an image of Vanessa across from him. Her portrait was crossed out with an image of a flashlight and a pair of handcuffs forming an X.
“Christ man!” Jimmy remarked. “Monokuma won't even leave her alone, even in death.”
“Nah, cuz where’s the fun in that?” Monokuma asked.
“Shove it up your a*s, bear.” Natsuki hissed.
“Enough lollygagging!” Heket spoke. “We need to find who took Vanessa’s life.”
“And I think a good start would be her time of death. Peasy-easy!” Orbulon said.
“Problem is, finding out WHEN she died is gonna be an issue.” Holly remarked. “Let’s discuss the times it couldn't be, shall we?”
Discuss!
“Perhaps she died during breakfast?” Gourmand asked.
“This morning could be a good time, too.” Natsuki stated.
“Maybe she died last night?” Holly posed the question.
Truth Bullet: Heket’s account ---> last night?
Agreement!
“Holly, you got a point there.” Dribble spoke. “Heket, you were supposed to meet Bill last night.”
“I was.” Heket said.
“And neither he, Vanessa, Natsuki, and Gabriel were in their rooms, right?” He asked.
“That is correct.” She replied.
“It would be safe to assume she died last night, right?” Dribble stated.
“But weren't I, Gabriel and Natsuki out of our rooms, too?” Bill interjected. “Her last being in her room at night has nothing to do with this.”
“...Bill may have a point.” 079 said.
Nonstop debate!
“It is entirely possible that Vanessa was killed this morning.” 079 said.
“We can assume her killer brought her to the lounge and killed her, but that could’ve happened at any time.” Bill stated.
“Why kill at night? You’re just shooting yourself in the foot.” Natsuki huffed.
“What I am trying to get at here, is that there is no proof that the death happened at night.” 079 said.
FAN THE HAMMER!
Truth Bullets: Holly heard scraping + Someone walked by Dribble’s Room ---> there is no proof that the death happened at night.
Break!
“079…I think you’re a bit confused buddy. I actually do have proof. I heard footsteps pass by my room last night, and Holly heard a scraping noise last night.” Dribble stated.
“...and that proves the killing happened at night, how?” 079 asked.
Select a truth bullet!
Heket’s Account
Gabriel and Natsuki’s account
---> Missing Ladder
“Because I think the killer took a ladder from the Supply Closet last night. Hence, the scraping noise. Therefore-”
“Hold on there!” Bill said. “Just because Holly heard funny noises at night, doesn't mean that the step ladder was used in the killing.”
“Oh, I’ll show you how, old man!” Dribble growled, his temper starting to get the better of him.
Rebuttal showdown!
