"Oh dear oh dear this is so very stressful. It's depressing enough that we had to be here in the first place..." Monokitty mumbled.

"What's the deal?! None of you have said a single word since this trial started! If you guys continue to make me bored, I'll just execute all of you bastards!" Monokuma threatened.

"Wh-what are we even supposed to do?! I don't think any of us have ever been in a situation like this before!" Mizuki countered.

Jiro took a deep breath and straightened his posture.

"I-if I can, I'd like to start us off. S-so we found the body in the boutique. Does anyone have anything to ask?" He questioned.

"I-I have a question. Wh-who was the last p-person to see Yasha-kun....a-alive....?" Akito asked quietly.

"Oh! I believe it was me! I saw him headed to the workout room around 9:25!" Guren announced.

"I-I got it!"

"It a-also said that the victims chest had been caved in, probably by blunt force

"It a-also said that the victims chest had been caved in, probably by blunt force." Jiro said.

A few students looked disgusted by this fact.

"That probably means he was unable to breathe due to his broken ribs puncturing his lungs." Hiroto said.

"What does that have to do with the murder weapon?" Gin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Wh-what I'm trying to say, is that th-the knife wasn't the thing that dealt the f-fatal blow." Jiro sputtered.

"Then...what was?" Leiko asked. She had been silent since the trial began, seemingly too upset to participate.

"I...don't know, but it couldn't h-have been the knife." Jiro answered.

"Then let's hear some ideas about what it could've been." Hiroto suggested.
