Everyone made their way into the trial room. It was silent still. Quiet. No one dared to speak. They had to do this again. Because someone was killed again.
Bill’s portrait was now up, too. It was crossed out with his dog tags, a reference to his talent.
079’s portrait was crossed out with the X he would put up if he didn't talk to anyone.
Dribble sighed. “Where do we even start here?”
“I suppose what 079 said is a good place to start.” Alastor said.
“He said three things, and I’m willing to bet those three things are important.” Jimmy remarked.
“I asked him what he was killed by. He replied with a sledge hammer. I asked why he was killed. He said it was to save the killer’s family. And then I asked if anyone in the room with me was the killer, which means me, Gabriel, Max, Alastor and Dribble. And he said no.” Holly said.
Discuss!
“So, what does that even mean?” Gabriel asked.
“079’s answers have to mean something.” Holly replied.
“Is it possible that what 079 said disproves those who didn't leave the show stage area as the killer?” Gourmand asked.
Truth Bullet: Time of Death ---> what 079 said disproves those who didn't leave the show stage area as the killer?
Agreement!
“I actually have a bit of information that seems to confirm Gourmand’s statement.” Dribble said. “If you look at the Monokuma file for 079, it says he died at 11 am. And that places 079’s death during Alastor’s performance.”
Alastor nodded. “So, anyone who left the show stage before or after my performance could be a potential killer!”
“Hey!” Heket shouted. “Doesn't that make you, Max, Gabriel, Holly all potential suspects yourselves?!”
“Heket, I get how you can jump to that conclusion, but didn't 079 himself say that all the people you just listed, myself included, didn't kill him?” Dribble asked.
“Oh, I can show you how that statement can be false!” Heket snarled.
Rebuttal showdown!
“So what if 079 died during Alastor’s performance!?”
“Maybe the killer had a deal with Monokuma to screw up the times!”
“Maybe the killer never left themselves and stayed in the show stage the whole time!”
Advance!
“If he truly died during Alastor’s performance, then that makes Alastor himself a potential culprit!”
“Max too! Didn't he leave before the show!?”
“And don't forget Gabriel and Holly! They basically booked it as soon as that awful sound started playing!”
“Maybe the only reason 079 said no was because he didn't recognize his killer thanks to the weight on his chest knocking him out!”
Dual Wield!
Truth Blades: 079’s responses and 100 pound weight ---> only reason 079 said no was because he didn't recognize his killer thanks to the weight on his chest knocking him out!
Break!
“Heket, I get why you say that.” Dribble began. “But, 079 said he was killed by a sledge hammer. If he could say what he was killed by, the 100 pound weight didn't knock him out. And if the weight didn't knock him out, then he knows exactly who his killer is.”
