When the final vote was received, we all looked at the scared Hifumi.
"Why...? Why...!?"
It was all I could think about.
"Why did you kill Hiro!? Why!?"
Monokuma: Uh-oh! Looks like you got it right on the money! The blackened in this case, the one that killed Yasuhiro... was none other than Hifumi Yamada!
Hifumi: ...
Normally, he'd been acting like a character straight from a fantasy. If this wasn't as serious, he'd probably be acting as a brave attorney. But right now...
He was frozen out of fear. This... was reality.
Makoto: Hifumi... Did you really... kill Hiro...?
Hina: I... don't believe it...
Mondo: Son of a bitch...! What the hell is wrong with you!?
Leon: What the fuck, fatty!? Why!?
Hifumi: I...
He tries to adopt a brave pose, but tears start falling from his eyes.
Hifumi: I... I-
Apollo: Hifu-
Hifumi: You guys don't get it! All of you!
He yells out of anger.
This wasn't an act, I realize, but rather...
We had just felt the real, genuine taste of anger of Hifumi Yamada.
Hifumi: You all don't understand! NONE OF YOU DO!
Apollo: Understand what!?
Hifumi: For my whole life, I was alone for what I was! For what I am!
His squeaky, pitchy voice was gone.
It was like the Hifumi we all knew prior was all a lie.
Hifumi: I was fat-shamed my whole life! No one wanted to get close to me, or even wanted to talk to me! I was just a lonely, friendless teenager that just wanted recognition!
Apollo: Recognition?
Hifumi: The reason I murdered Hiro... It was so I could escape and share my works to the whole world! That way, people can find happiness and entertainment to what I do!
Apollo: But that's just... so far-fetched!
Hifumi: Of course you wouldn't understand, you normie! All of you are normies! None of you would understand me, just like everyone else in my life!
"Hifumi..."
Hifumi: No... Not everyone else. Only my sister understood me...
Makoto: Sister...?
Hifumi: She was the only one who understood me... The only one who shared the same interests as me... My only friend...
