"All rise!" Monokuma signals for you to stand, you accept and do so.

And now, the curtain opens, the third trial waiting behind it! Now begins another,

Deadly Class Trial!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I would like to point out the elephant in the room... So to speak..." Celeste reaches into her pocket and pulls out a pink camera, on it are many stickers of 'kawaii' anime girl heads. The photo shows Robot Justice carrying Hifumi away, by the looks of things, against his will. "This clearly shows that Robot Justice was the one who kidnapped and killed Hifumi... And who was in that suit? Yasuhiro Hagakure!" 

"Y-YOU CAN'T JUST POINT TO ME RIGHT OFF THE BAT!" Hiro begins to panic and puts his hands to his head.

"He's right..." You say, looking down.

"What do you mean?..." Celeste hides her shock.

"It is pretty strange how you get straight to the point. Normally, and you always play along, we start with the weapon and the cause of death." You look over to Celeste with sadness but slight anger. You knew that it wasn't her fault, but you couldn't shake the fact that she, Celestia Ludenberg, killed your best friend. Now that you think about it, Celeste always had a strange name, she claimed to be from Japan but her name says otherwise. 

"Well... I just thought that I should show you solid proof of the killer! Is something wrong with that?" Her glance was almost desperate but she was staying strong. 'This might be shorter than I thought... I don't want to do this... I-'

"Have you not seen any cases of murders? In a trial like this, almost all the time, an innocent is framed as the killer." Kyoko sides with you, nodding for you to keep going.

"So... I guess if we are to move on then we need to clear Hiro suspicion." You bite your knuckle and think... What's off here?

"Thank you! I'm innocent I swear!!" Hiro puts his hands together and bows, begging for forgiveness.

*Many things were discussed, the wounds, the weapon, the time and... That Hifumi didn't die the first time.*

"That's impossible! Hifumi wouldn't fake his own death! If that's true, wouldn't he still be alive?!" Hina is tearing up at the thought of Hifumi lying all this time.

"No, Hifumi is well and truly dead... The second time was true. But... What is off for me is that both he and Taka were moved to another room when... Everyone was with us." Saying his very name makes your eyes water.

"Except Kyoko and Hiro." Byakuya corrects you.

"Well yes but-"

"Then we should get Kyoko and Hiro to tell us why they weren't with us." Sakura unintentionally interrupts you and looks towards Kyoko and Hiro.

"I told you! I was forced into that suit!" Hiro seems offended that he still hasn't been cleared of suspicion.

"I was exploring the floors for any clues on a way out." Kyoko seems honest enough. "Makoto, you can confirm that right?"

"Yes I can!... Well not here anyway." Makoto rethinks his decision to burst out and withdraws.

"I know it might be naive but... I believe them." You smile at Kyoko and Makoto, your eyes filled with trust. "When have they ever shown suspicion? They are the main detectives here."

"I-I agree with N-N/N... If anyone's s-suspicious it's h-her!" Toko points a cold finger at Celeste, she shows no reaction.

"Your testimonies are ludicrous." She looks down upon Toko and turns back to the others.
