Danganronpa: Poisoned Hope (Fanganronpa)

Chapter 1 - Closing Argument

"Here is the truth of the murder!"

Act 1

It all started yesterday morning, during the breakfast meeting when Nanako suggested painting the back wall in the fitness suite on the second floor of the gym. Tama also added that he would guard the door of the suite in case she got attacked or killed. The culprit heard this and began thinking of a good plan to kill Nanako.

Act 2

After the breakfast meeting, the culprit snuck into the kitchen to get the murder weapon; a knife. They also got a chocolate bar. If they had ignored their hunger and left the chocolate bar, maybe we wouldn't be able to properly identify them as the killer. As Toshiro came back from drinking tea in the dining hall with Ichika, that's when he noticed the knife was missing. And with that, the culprit had the first item they needed for the murder.

Act 3

Reina was in charge of cleaning duty, after suggesting it during the meeting. Monokuma also gave her a key, which was able to open all the dorm rooms and the washing room where the laundry was stored. However, she met up with the culprit who offered to take the job from her, which she gladly excepted. Hinami, who was nearby, saw them talking and shaking hands, which gives us our evidence. After that, the culprit went to Nanako's room to get her laundry, taking her coat as well which had her gum and a can of red spray paint. They also probably went the all of our rooms as well to Collect laundry to hide their suspicion. They took a bit of gum and hurried to the suite to place the gum on the window sill to act as a support of the towels they would use to climb to the suite. They had to be quick, as they knew that Gin and Tama would be there to set up the monitor. They quickly left to create a rope made of towels tied together. With that and Nanako's coat ready, the plan was set, along with Nanako's death.

Act 4

Tama and Gin arrived at the kitchen after Gin had finished working on the monitor with Ryuto. Tama went to collect energy drinks to make sure he would stay awake all night, while Gin waited in the kitchen. I decided to tag along with them for fun as we went to the gym to prepare the suite for the night. Little did we know we were in the middle of a future crime scene. After that, the victim, Nanako arrived, while I and Gin left as it was almost nighttime. With that, Nanako entered the suite, her final resting place, with the monitor recording her entry.

Act 5

Later in the night, when the coast was cleared, the culprit snuck outside. With the gum ready, along with Nanako's coat, the rope, the knife and the red spray paint, they made their way to the suite. They threw the rope which firmly stuck to the gum. They slipped on Nanako's coat which who made sure they wouldn't get any blood on them. When they entered the room, they grabbed Nanako on the shoulder and sprayed red paint all over her face, distracting her as she struggled and coughed. And then, they plunged the knife into her stomach. As she was dying, she desperately tried to drag herself to the door to alarm Tama, leaving bloodstains. But it was too late; she was dead. Now that the crime was done, the slipped the knife back into the coats pocket and left the scene. The exited the window, making sure to not touch the door since that would trigger the monitor. Once they were back on ground, the pulled the rope back down, leaving white fabric on the gum left in the window sill. They took off the coat and left it on the grass, and exited the crime scene. A major silly mistake in my opinion, as it provided us with lots of evidence. Believing they got away with the crime, they probably got relaxed and were anticipating life back outside...

But we have uncovered your crime! The only person who could have pulled off this murder is you, Okashi Mimu, the Ultimate Memer!

"Hgggh...Please...I can't die here...Let me explain!" Okashi pleaded with us.

"Well, this trial is over. We can hear your excuse after we vote. Talking about voting, should we finally start it?" Kei asked.

"Yep. Monokuma, can we start the vote?" I said.

"Finally! You kids were taking forever! Yes! Let's start the vote! It's time for the blackened and the spotless to face off!...

ITS VOTING TIME!"

My pedestal lit up, as a screen appeared showing all of our faces. At the top was in big letters 'VOTING TIME'. I slowly pressed Okashi's face as the screen disappeared and waited to see if I had been right or wrong.
