Anarchy (Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc)

In Treachery And Honor

Everyone stared at Hina, expressions ranging from incredulous to expectant.

"H-Hina...?" Makoto asked.

"...If you're all going to find out anyway...I'd rather you hear it straight from me, ya know?"

"Then...Ogre's killer was-!"

Hina? It makes sense...that would explain Hina's actions up until now, and would tie this case together nicely into a standard betrayed-by-best-friend plot...

"Yup...I did it! I killed Sakura!" No...Hina would never declare so proudly that she killed her best friend.

"Just as I suspected," Byakuya said. "The footprints were made by a pair of sneakers-there was no mistaking it. And the only people here who wear sneakers are..."

"Me and Hina are the only ones. Oh, so Byakuya...that explains why you..." Byakuya had apparently forced Makoto to check his shoes against the footprints.

"If the footprints didn't belong to Makoto, that left only one other possibility."

"Just Hina..."

"Plus, Hina's been acting strange ever since the trial began.You were in an awful rush to get the vote, weren't you? This whole time, you've been focused on pinning the crime on someone else, haven't you?"

"I...I can't believe it." Makoto looked to the side, avoiding eye contact with everyone.

"What about it can't you believe?"

"Well, it's just...the two of them were so close." That's not a valid answer...but I don't agree with Byakuya either. Without any evidence or logical arguments, I can't say much, but...there's something I'm missing.

Byakuya continued explaining his theory, claiming that Ogami had trusted Hina so didn't question it when she was given the poison.

"Hina...is it true? Did you really...kill Sakura? And if you did...Why?! Why would you do that?!" Makoto demanded.

"...I found her, there in the rec room...she was hurt. She asked me to bring her that protein drink. But...when I went to get the powder from the chem lab, it just...occurred to me all pf a sudden."

"'Now's my chance to kill her'. That's what you thought, right? That's when you switched out the protein powder, and that's when you gave her the poisoned mixture."

"And then...she downed it, all at once. And...and then..."

"Hold it! I'm not convinced..." Kyoko?

"You're not about to claim she wouldn't kill a close friend, are you?" Byakuya asked. "You still don't get it, do you? The game we're playing here, isn't so kind. Honeyed words like-"

"Ok, we get it. We've heard the rant before," I interjected.

"How many times do I have to say it for you plebeians to understand?"

"Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying this because of some misguided sentimentalism. But there's still one unsolved mystery, and I'm still not convinced."

"Are you talking about the locked room problem?" Makoto asked Kyoko. Of course...If what Hina says is true she managed to move the chair to lock the door and then escape...Unless Ogami locked the door herself, but that would mean....oh.

"Hina...If you really are the killer, explain it. How did you create that locked room problem?"

"W-Well...Th-That doesn't matter! Just cuz I'm guilty, that means I have to tell you everything?!"
