Daganronpa: blue blood «retelling»

The fourth trial

«Kyoko Kirigiri's perspective»
"T-Toko?" Splutters Sayaka, trailing behind me.
"Yes." I lean on the wall for a second, holding my ringing head in agony. After I passed out, my brain has been whirring, new memory chips exploding into colour every few minutes. It's all visions of my classmates, smiling together, at school. How? I've never seen any of them before this killing game, so where are these memories coming from?
We reach the elevator, and I go to stand next to Celestia.
"How are you now?" She whispers.
"I'm ok." I think about telling her the visions, but then a searing pain shoots through my temples. A vision of me and Celeste- together. The speech is fuzzy, but I can make out something- she's asking me to go out with her.
"Kyoko? Do you need to sit down?" She grabs my arm.
"I'm fine- just a migraine..." my mind races to process this new memory- did I know Celestia before? Did I know all of these people before?

"Looks like last trial wasn't the final one, hey?" Monokuma snorts, dancing on his throne.
"I can't wait for this execution." Sneers Byakuya.
"That's messed up." Chihiro frowns, "We don't even know who did it."
"And you're one of the most likely suspects." Celestia adds. "Considering how much you hated her."
Byakuya barely reacts, just crossing her arms and snorting disdainfully.
"Ok, we know Toko was killed during the films." Makoto gulps.
"We were all stuck in our rooms though!" Sayaka yells, sticking her hand in the air to interrupt. "So maybe it was suicide."
"There was no gun in the room." I answer. "And how could she shoot herself in the back of the head?"
Celestia interrupts. "Wait, how big was the bullet?"
"Small. Small enough to fit through..." Chihiro trails off, deep in thought.
"THE VENTS!" Byakuya, Celestia, Chihiro an I yell in unison.
"They'd have to be strong enough to pull the vent cover off their room, crawl through and shoot into the room." Chihiro gabbles.
"No- you could easily use a screwdriver." Mondo snaps.
"But who has a gun?" Celestia muses. "Oh wait- Byakuya."
We all look at her. She glares back at us in silence.
"Where's your evidence." She finally answers.
"You tried you shoot me when I tried to murder you." She answers. "I saw it- small enough bullets."
"That proves nothing." She snaps. "Anyway, my gun's been missing since yesterday. Someone stole it."
"That sounds awfully suspicious." Chihiro mutters. "Not that I think it was you."
"I do." Mondo growls. "All the evidence points to you."
She goes pale, sweat beginning to form on her face.
"Do you all really think it's me?" She splutters, staring around the room.
"No." I interrupt. "We still need to locate the screwdriver. Or someone strong enough to break it open."
"Wait- you wouldn't need a screwdriver to get in." Interrupts Makoto. "You can just pull them open."
"They're really hard to pull open, though." Junko adds. "I tried to pull it open one when we got here- almost broke a nail, lol!"
Makoto, Sayaka, Byakuya, Celestia, Mondo and Chihiro. Mondo.Byakuya and Celestia are probably the only ones capable of pulling it open.
"I think the prime subjects are-"
"Let's just start voting! We know it was Byakuya, so let's vote." Mondo yells, slamming his button.
"Wait, we need to come to a decision!" Interrupts Chihiro. "I know Byakuya didn't do it!"
"Let's just VOTE!" He yells, slamming the button down. As he does, a gun slides out of his sleeve.

"Mondo..." Chihiro gulps.
"I can't believe this." Laughs Byakuya, folding her arms.
"It's not funny!" Yells Chihiro. He rounds on Byakuya, snarling like a wolf. "Mondo, tell me you didn't do it!"
He looks down, dejected. "I'm sorry, Chihiro. I did it to catch the mastermind. I heard someone talk about it, and I thought it was Toko. So I crawled through the vents and-"

"I'm sorry."
"Ok let's get to the punishment!" Monokuma yelps, dancing a wild conga.
"Mondo, wait!" Chihiro yells, but he's already gone.
