"Let's begin with a basic explanation of the class trial! So, your votes will determine the results.

If you can figure out 'whodunnit' then only they will receive punishment. But if you pick the wrong one...

...then I'll punish everyone *besides* the blackened, and the one that deceived everyone else will graduate!"

"And the killer really is one of us, right?" Makoto asked.

"Of course!"

"Okay then... everyone close your eyes, and whoever did it, raise your hand!"

"Don't be a goddamn idiot. Why the hell would they raise their hand?"

"Before we move on and start the trial, can I ask a question real quick?" Kyoko pointed at the portraits in the empty seats.

"What's going on with... those pictures?"

"I'd feel awful if they got left out just because they died. Friendship penetrates even death's barrier!"

Hifumi drooled, "Friendship... penetrates?"

I cracked my knuckles, "Get your mind out of the gutter or I'll get it out for you."

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Okay, but what about that other empty seat?" Celeste pointed at an empty seat between Hiro and Hina.

"There were only sixteen of us, to begin with, so why are there seventeen seats?"

"Oh, no reason. It's just that our little courtroom here can technically fit up to seventeen people."

For some reason, I find that very hard to believe. But I'll leave it alone for now.

"Okay, that about does it for the preamble. Get ready to get started! First up is the case summary. Now let the class trial... begin!"

I take a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for the trial. I looked up and clenched my fists. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
