You and everyone else got into a room, where there was a circle of platforms along with railing in the front. Each platform had a step to get onto it.
They were all signatured for a certain student. As you all get onto the platform, you take notice on something that was a little disturbing. Right across from you, you see a picture hung up in front of a platform. It held up a frame, and you see a crossed out picture of Sohinki. It gives you the chills.
"Now, then! It seems as if you are all ready for your guy's first trial! Who is the blackened? You know what will answer if you guess the wrong classmate! With that being said, it's time for the trial!"
All of you look at each other, hoping that someone would start up a conversation.
Maybe, it would be best if we start with the weapon first.
"Let's start with the weapon that we assume that was used in the crime!" Lapis must have read your mind again.
"Yes, and that would have been the knife that was jammed in Sohinki's right wrist.
"Maybe, we should start with that mystery first." Haren pointed out. "Why would the killer jab the knife into Sohinki's wrist?"
"Obviously, the killer stabbed her stomach first!" Elesa shouted.
"The wrist looked like it was stabbed twice, however." Lila pointed out.
"Well, duh! The killer stabbed her in the chest, then stabbed her wrist twice after that!" Elesa smirked.
"No! That's not right!" You yell, having your voice echoing throughout the room.
"Um, how?" Elesa questioned.
"I think you got mixed up on something." You tell her.
Well, the killer could have done that, but there is a much more valid explanation then that. I can believe.
"What if the killer stabbed her wrist first, then stabbed her multiple times in the stomach, then jabbed it into her wrist again?" You ask everyone questionably.
"But why would the killer even do that?" Ryu asked, fixing his glasses. "That sounds to complicated!"
"Actually, no. It wouldn't."
You turn around and see Wacon, finishing his statement.
"You see, while we were first in the classroom, meeting eachother, I'm sorry (Y/N), but you weren't awake at that time, but Sohinki said something to us when she introduced herself."
"What did she say?" You ask him again.
"She said something about that her left hand is very useless and her right hand is probably the most strongest part of her body."
"That was right. I heard her say something about that." Corrin said.
"So maybe, the killer used this information of hers, and stabbed her right wrist once so she couldn't defend herself with it, and then stab her in the gut, then stabbed her once again in the wrist, and kept the knife there!" You try to analyze.
"Why would she jam the knife and just leave it there?" Peyo asked you.
"Well, obviously, they couldn't wash it off, and put it back. That sink is pretty loud. Someone would notice them." Corrin stated.
"Then how did the killer not get any blood on there hands?" Lila asked.
"Cultivar saw a white sheet downstairs in the storage room, that was all full of blood," you answer her.
"They could have easily used that to cover themselves while they killed her.
"My question is," Elizabeth started to finally talk. "If the sheet and the duck tape were brought back into the storage room, then what about the knife in the kitchen? That was obviously as well from the storage room?"
"I'm not to sure," you admit. "Maybe we should get back to that mystery later."
So what I covered so far, was how the killer killed Sohinki. Now, we need to focus on who may have did it.
"Sorry, to make SUCH a late entrance, darlings!" Cultivar smirked and fixed his hat to grab more attention.
"I am proud to announce that I believe I know who has done it!"
"Your telling us this, NOW!?" Darci screamed.
"Surprise you care, you useless trash." Elesa sighed.
"Go ahead. Cultivar. Tell us what you know!" Lila smiled at him.
"If you say so, beauties! Anyways, I woke up in the middle of the night, to get something to eat, you know? So as I was walking in the dark, gloomy hallway, I seen a mysterious figure, walking into Sohinki's room, carrying a note. When in the morning I find out that Sohinki was murdered, I immediately was suspicious with them!"
"What did the figure look like?" Corrin sternly asked him.
"Well, it was tall and muscular. Of course it would have to be Haren."
"Me!?" Haren was shot with shock. "Why would I even THINK about killing Sohinki?"
"You went into her room, I SAW you! You can't deny that! Don't even try to lie at my glamorous face, honey!" Cultivar smirked once again.
"I did go to her room, but only to check on her!" Haren spoke louder and louder, defending himself.
"Where is your proof? HAREN IS THE KILLER! THERE IS NO PROOF TO BACK HIM UP!"
"No, that's not right!" You shout across the room.
"Three questions, Cultivar. One, wouldn't you be hearing some arguing and such between him and Sohinki if you awake during that time? Two, what time were you awake, and saw Haren walk into that room. And three, you said something about a note. When you have the chance, can we go back to that?"
Cultivar fixed his cape before he answered, confidently."Well, I know that I didn't hear much except chatting, however, I wasn't up for very long to know."
"Well if you didn't hear anything, then why would you assume that I was the one who killed her!?" Haren started arguing with Cultivar, and as you could tell, he was pretty mad.
"Well dear, I saw you walk in her room, you realize. Anyways, as you said about the time, well when I looked at the clock in my room, it was exactly twelve o' clock am."
"According to the earlier clues Monokuma gave us in the handbook, she was killed at exactly three o' clock in the morning. Those two times are are far apart." Lapis notified Cultivar. He then began blushing.
"Thanks for wasting our time!" Elesa shouted across the room.
"Actually, one thing he said was pretty useful information." You realize.
"Hey, Cultivar. About that note, do you know what it said?" You asked him slowly.
"Eh, I did see him carrying it into Sohinki's room. I don't know what it had written on it though." Cultivar admitte sighly.
"So, you mean this letter?" Everyone turned there heads facing Lapis, holding a piece of paper in her hands.
"Did you have that the entire time!?" Darci shrieked.
"I had this the whole time! I knew that this letter was awfully suspicious, and I am also having that sense that this is what was in Haren's hands while he went into her room.
"Give it to me, please!" You tell her, and since she was right next to you it was easier. She handed the letter over to you and as you read it, you realize that this was the same letter that was on the ground in the hallway.
"Hey, Haren, did you receive this letter from Sohinki?" You turn to face Haren.
"Yes, I found that letter in my room. She must have slid it under my door." Haren admitted.
"You said he was awake at twelve o' clock when he received that letter. I understand that, but what does note have to do with anything?" Lila questioned.
"I know something!" Ryu waved his hands in the air, for attention.
"What is it?" Lila turned to face him.
"Well, we talked to Sohinki for awhile, and we figured out something a little strange. She told was a secret, about her not being able to write." Ryu fixed his glasses.
"But what about the letter!?" Elesa shouted in question.
"I think I know where Ryu is trying to lead at." You come back quick to analyze.
"What if Sohinki DIDN'T write that letter?"
"She tried writing something out something awhile after, for us." Ryu also pointed out. "Compare her handwriting on this paper to the one on the other!" He hands you the other sheet, and once you checked both over, you realize,
"The handwriting for both is different! Sohinki cannot be the one who wrote this letter!"
"But then if it wasn't Sohinki, then who was it?" Corrin asked.
"Obviously, the killer." You claim. "The more I think about it, the more I believe that this was a way to set Haren up."
"But then if it wasn't Haren, then who was it? Who else could have gotten in that room?" Brody asked.
Who else could have killed Sohinki?
...
Wait....
There is another suspect.
They even told me earlier that they went into Sohinki's room.
I think of YOU, and ONLY you....

"LILA LOVEGOOD!" You shout! Everyone started looking at you weirdly. Lila? Even you couldn't believe it fully.
You turn to face Lila, giving her a serious look.
"Lila, could you be the culprit?"
Once she met your gaze, her eyes were full of confusing, and anger, which had must more emotion then any other part of her body.
"Your accusing me of killing Sohinki?" She laughs sarcastically, as she makes a weird face, while she widely grins.
"Impossible." She says.
"Actually, no, it's not." You correct her. "You even told me yourself while we were investing, that you went into Sohinki's room to go 'check on her.' "
"And I did. You cannot prove me otherwise." Lila stared at you, deadly. She then smirked, and gave a sigh. "You have no evidence other then that? Please. It was Haren without a doubt. How do we know that he didn't go into Sohinki's room again, hm? Right. Don't be pointing your fingers at me, when you can be pointing them at Haren while he goes Bye bye."
Is this the same girl that I was investigating with?
"Huh? What was that, Zoma?" Lapis takes everyone notice again. "Zoma, you know something?" She faces Zoma, as he nodded.
"Zoma can't talk! What the heck are you doing?" Corrin firmly asked Lapis.
"Zoma and I have a psychic connection towards one another. He can speak in his mind in order to speak to me. And right now, he is trying to say something!" Lapis giggled, then continued closing her eyes and speaking for Zoma.
"What he is trying to say, is that he was up last night as well, to grab something to eat."
"Wow. How many people are gonna be breaking my rules? This is how Sohinki got killed, ya know?" Corrin shouted across the room.
"However, he saw someone in the kitchen as well. Which was Lila!" Lapis continued.
Everyone turned to face Lila. She has shown no emotion. She just blankly stared at Lapis.
"She used a knife to cut some stuff, he says. Then Lila just began talking to him, without a problem. When she was done with her snack, she put the knife back, or at least that is what he thought!" Lapis opened her eyes, and faced Zoma again. "Is there anything else you would like to say?"
"No, I think Zoma has um, connected with you long enough! I think I know where this is going at!" You say while you continue to analyze. "Were the lights on at all?"
"Zoma says that Lila has been carrying a flashlight with her, she was also gone before him so then Zoma couldn't see much else." Lapis said.
"I see, and you also stated that it looked as if she put the knife back, when that could have been where the knife in the storage room came from, to LOOK like she put it back."
Zoma then nodded widely.
"So what I am gathering, is that Lila went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife to seem as if cutting her snack was the reason she grabbed it in the first place, but then put the storage knife there to throw Zoma off, making look like she hadn't taken anything, when she did." Elizabeth began analyzing.
"Lila, do you have any objections, darling?" Cultivar smirked at her.
".... WELL FRICK YEAH! I'M BEING ACCUSED FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T FRICKEN DO! HOW DO YOU ALL KNOW ZOMA DIDN'T DO IT!? WELL!? ARE YOU GONNA ANSWER OR NOT!? ANSWER ME, GOD DANG IT!" Lila yelled at the top of her lungs.
This is definitely not the same girl I first met.
"Yes, I went to the kitchen!" Lila mocked. "Yes, I used the knife to cut my food! Yes, I used a flashlight! BUT I DID NOT PUT THAT FRICKEN STORAGE ROOM KNIFE BY THE KITCHEN SINK!"
"Hold up a second!" You yell at her. She stops and glared at you, terrifyingly.
"Zoma never told us he found the knife by the sink..." you slowly tell her.
"Yes, and the fact that you gave away it's exact location makes you even more suspicious." Corrin began glaring at her.
"Hey, Zoma, where DID you find the storage knife last night after Lila walked out of the room? Peyo asked Zoma.
"He claims...." Lapis answered for him, "that he DID find it by the kitchen sink."
Lila froze. Her eyes widened with shock.
"No no no no no no no no no no no NO NO NO NO! THAT IS WRONG! ZOMA COULD BE THE KILLER! STOP POINTING YOUR FINGERS AT ME, AND SHOVE THEM IN YOUR MOUTH CAUSE NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!" Lila screamed.
"What time did she walk out of the room? Do you know?" You ask.
"Zoma says..... that the last time he checked when Lila was out of the kitchen was 2:58 am."
"And the murder took place at 3:00 am. I think we have found our culprit..." Corrin slowly said.
"You lose, Lila!"
Lila's mouth wided. Once again frozen, and emotionless she stood. There is no doubt that she is the killer.
