"Well, for starters.... why was Nekumaru's body.... in a place like that?" Nagito looked to the center of the room and put a finger to his lips. I felt a shiver travel down my spine, I haven't forgotten his smile from earlier.

Gundam joined into the conversation, "His body was underneath the table in the very back of the dining hall.."

"Well, after Nekomaru was murdered," Kazuichi scratched the back of his neck, "The killer probably moved the body!" I shook my head before interrupting.

"Highly unlikely." I said flatly, "The blood was under the table, and only under the table. There are no signs of smudged blood on the carpets or floor, and the only traces of blood were where the body was and a tablecloth that was discovered in the storage room."

"Ah, I get your point, Jay!" Mahiru smiled and pointed her finger in the air.

"Awwh, jeez! And I thought I had a good  idea.."

"Yeah, well, you didn't, fucking bastard." Fuyuhiko let out a little "tsk" before folding his arms and turning away.

"But why was he under the table? I mean, c'mon, it's a black out not an earthquake!" Ibuki furrowed her brows and tilted her head, "If I had to write a song about that, it would be 'Big Buff Guy Under The Table!'"

"I think it has something to do with the knife under the table..." Hajime brought evidence to the table, and I agreed with him, it was definitely due to him seeing the knife under the table.

This wasn't the end of the trial though.

~timeskip to the end of the trial~

I.. couldn't believe it. Teruteru had killed Nekomaru. I was pretty shocked at first, but when I pieced the evidence together, it was undeniable. He had been gibbering against Haji for the past 40 minutes right now, and I decided to put an end to it.

"CUT IT OUT!" I screamed, letting everyone look at me, "Monokuma, get the meat on the bone from the kitchen. I'm almost sure the skewer is hidden there."

"Alright, kiddos! Be back soon, hahahahahahaha!" Monokuma let out a sadistic laugh before disappearing from the trial room. Sweat beaded down Teruteru's face and his eyes widened, looking around frantically. I knew by then he was definitely our killer.

"No.. I-I-It wasn't me..! IT WAS HER! [Y/N]! YEAH, IT WAS HER!" I sighed and shook my head at his sudden burst, "YEAH, SHE'S THE KILLER! YA SEE, SHE WAS THE CLOSEST ONE TO THE TABLE, AIN'T SHE? SHE'S DA KILLER!"

"Awh, geez, his hope is about to get crushed. How upsetting." Nagito folded his arms and stewed over hope and despair, but I ignored it.

"I actually have an alibi." I replied calmly.

"An alibi?" Chiaki cocked her head to the side and as a response I smiled and nodded.

"Well, you see, for almost all of the blackout, I was basically glued to an arm. I fell and hoisted myself up onto the food table, and right as I got there, the lights came back on." I hoisted my gloves up higher before folding my arms, "Can whoever I latched onto please clear my alibi?" I looked over at Haji, and his face was dusted red. He cleared his throat before responding.

"T-That was me.. I can solidify that alibi." His face turned into a goofy grin, "By the way, Jay, you have a really strong grip!" I laughed at his remark.
