Danganronpa - Murderous Generation

Chapter 1 - Trial (part 5)

We were all silent, none of us spoke a word, but all of us felt one thing in common. Dread. “umm . . . this may just be me being a little dumb here but . . . how did Sora kill Junako?” Violet asked, a few of us groaned “seriously? Come on Violet, the trial is already over, why do you need an explanation?” I asked her, she did giggled “sorry, I just want to know~” I groaned loudly at her remark.

“Fine. Are you ready? Because this is everything that happened”

(Danganronpa V3 - Climax Re-enactment)

“This case began during last night's dinner. After Monokuma's announcement of the dead lock system, the killer must of come up with their plan to use it to win.

First, they acquired an essential asset to their plan, the monokey. I don't know when, but the killer must've noticed that Scarlet had never gotten rid of the key . . . I'm sure that many of us remember how the killer claimed the key, by basically physically harassing Scarlet, the killer was able to hide the action of stealing the key under the farce of 'comedic gestures of affection'. With the key in their possession, the culprit moved on to getting the next asset for their plan, the murder weapon.

By using a towel they had been carrying with them, the were able to hide the knife and take it with them without raising any alarms. When Junako announced his plan to patrol the hallways, the culprit must have chosen to target him, since he would be patrolling, he'd be the most likely target. Luckily from them, I had been locked in my room all night, so that reduced the risk of them being caught.

Once nighttime began, the culprit returned to their room and waited. They waited until 6 AM, and then snuck out of their room. By using the monokey, the culprit was able to open the dining hall door, this probably lured Junako over, as the opening sound of the door is rather loud. Once inside Junako was left wide open for an attack.

The culprit stabbed Junako in the back, and he must of bled a lot, he must of tried to get away and stumbled around, causing the dinning hall to become the mess it was when we arrived. The culprit most likely wanted Junako dead as fast as possible, taking the knife and slashing at him. Junako struggled with the culprit, but was stabbed in the chest, the blood he saw causing him to faint. Not wanting to get blood of themselves, the culprit was forced to drag Junako into the kitchen, which resulted in the aforementioned trail.

After the culprit left Junako's body against the counter, the culprit put the knife back on the rack, and then covered every other knife with blood to prevent us from identifying which one they originally used. During the initial murder, the culprit must have gotten some blood over themselves, which is why they used the sink and the towel to clean the blood off. After that, they took the towel and hid it under a pile of Scarlet's clothing, in order to try and throw suspicion towards her, not to mention she originally hid the monokey, which would already deem her suspicious.

But the killer had forgotten a few details that then came back to bite them in the ass. The first of a few is a trainer print that they left behind, it was probably too dark to see at this point so they had no idea it was there as such, couldn't leave it behind. The next is the monokey’s capabilities, while is that it can only unlock electric locks, it can't relock them, meaning that the culprit had to leave the doors open, at around 6:30 AM Scarlet had found the open door but shrugged it off. Another major detail that the culprit had no time to fix was the state of the dinning hall, nearing 7 AM the culprit had no time to clean up their crime and so, they were forced to abandon it, hoping they would draw no attention to themselves. The final piece of evidence, we didn't even know we could use. It was strands of hair found in Junako's hand, this must have been a result of the previous struggle with the culprit. We only assumed that his blood had soaked the hair, but that's besides the point now, we have our culprit.
