Nozomu just stood in silence as she has seen Kuzato's body dangling off ropes, burnt to a crisp. Her blood ran cold as it seemed like everything around her had suddenly faded away, this black and dark feeling bursting out of her. But her mind was fighting it. Flashbacls of all the times Kuzato had been so nice to her. Then to Kuzato's body. She stood there for what felt like hours but got cut back when Teitsumi went up to the body. He inhaled for a second before coughing and getting nauseous. "I regret yet Don't regret that" he said.

"What is this another sick fetish you have" Mokki suggested in amusement. Teitsumi looked at her and shook her head. "The body was burned quick and at simular intervals as the char patterns suggested. Plus i smelt a little gasoline." Teitsumi said. Nozomu walked up next to him, still numb but inhaled a little as well. The nauseous smell of burnt human was there, but also a smell of gasoline laced within. "Yeah... i smell it too" Nozomu said. Kirade noticed her numb voice and escorted herself and Nozomu away from the corpse. Nozomu just looked at everybody in silence.

"How Da' Hell do you know what patterns has ta do with this?" Tsuyoi asked, making Teitsumi sigh and facepslm in frustration. "I used to work on the streets, around places, Tokyo, Yoshiwara, Hongo, ect. I was a working Prostitute for.. personal reasons since a young age. My connections with that world, ive seen things. They keep you in line if your pimped by someone. Fall out of it, bad things happen. Ive seen burnt bodies before. Usually pimps don't hurt their "Profit Girls" because they're their bread and butter, the money pull in, in this little business. But sometimes they sacrifice a weak fish to make a statement to all the little dolled up sushi rolls to keep in line.... so yeah ive seen this thing before. I can only indicate this was either a message or a sure far way to commit murder."

Everyone looked at Teitsumi in shock, fear, and a little disgust. Unknowing to what horrors he's seen, could help them find at least some evidence to help them. Nozomu took a closer look at the body with Kirade, while the others looked around the burnt room, wondering what was going to happen to it.

Nozomu and Kirade looked at Kuzato's corpse, noticing how well the shirt looked though the body was badly burnt. Kirade saw a pin popping out and pulled it, Revealing several envelopes with their names on them. "Guys here!" Nozomu yelled turning on her brain. They all looked at the envelopes saying it was to them, "From: The Mastermind~". The first few seconds was in a state of confusion as the Mastermind wasn't supposed to interfere with trials. "This is odd... he's breaking his own rules." Mokki said. Nozomu looked at her handbook before sighing. "In context. No rules were broken. Obviously the Mastermind and Monokuma are the same person but since these rules only apply to Monokuma in theiry its soeaking about the bot, not the person controlling it." Nozomu said explaining a theory.

Kirade sighed and tossed her envelope away. "I don't trust it, It could be a trap"
She said. She was just cold. Looking away from it. Nozomu looked at her confused at what was going on. "Me neither" said Teitsumi before doing the same to his, tossing it into the ashes and stepping on it a little, "This seems too fishy, more fishy than the lady pimps i dealt with."

Mokki, Nozomu, Tsukuba, and Tsuyoi held onto theirs. Tsukuba was about to pick up their discarded envelopes but the announcements came on. "No no no kiddos. Ive let this slide for too long, since times a getting scarce, im adding a new rule. If I or the One Behind Me gives something assigned to you. You can't share it with others after its discarded or pick it back up, or steal it. You can however let them see it if you don't discard it. Tossing it aside counts as discarding., Tootles Kiddos~!" Monokuma announced. Everyone looked in shock. Mainly confused about how monitors were still working in the burnt room.

Nozomu sighed and shrugged and went to a corner away from the others and opened her envelope. Inside just contained a note. "DON'T TRUST ANYONE -Mastermind 0405." It read. Nozomu was confused for a second, looking at the numbers. What odd numbers to Include. She put everything in her pockets and went back to the body looking over every inch of Kuzato's burnt corpse. One noticeable thing was the small pink fiber on the ashy side of his intact shirt. Everything confusing about it just. Doesn't know why.

Mokki noticed that slot of time has passed since the announcement for the body started and looked around to see where Monokuma would come from, but she noticed little holes in the corners of the room, top and bottom. Her instincts caught on to this as they looked suspicious and were all over the place. She wanted to shoot them but the announcements came on yet again. "OH ALSO NO USING WEAPONS IN THE TRIAL ROOM, PRESENTING WEAPONS AS EVIDENCE IS STILL ACCEPTABLE." Monokuma yelled quickly before ending the announcement. They sighed again. "Typical.... juuuust Typical" Tsuyoi said annoyed.

Everyone started getting a little annoyed but before anything bad happened. The room shook a little. The Students panicked and looked around confused to see what was making that movement. Before they knew it, a gass had poured out of the holes and went to fill the trial room. They all gad tried yo cover their mouths to attempt to not breath in this gas but they weren't fast enough or had didn't hold onto their breath long enough. The Students one by one fell onto the trial floor and passed out as Monokuma entered the room. "Show time~" he said, getting ready for a good trial.
