The debate continued beyond what Krista could contribute. She felt like she knew nothing in a room of smart people, prepared for their job. She listened quietly, chewing nervously on her bottom lip as everyone answered everyone's questions. Even as Shaun and Alice began to explain who Alice Parker was and how they met the fifth Carnage Sister, Krista just did not know what to do. Monokuma [i]claims[/i] that Parker's testimony, in this case, could be trusted, especially if she really wants the blackened to be caught to escape this torture, but Krista couldn't trust the carnage sister herself. It was just too convenient...

And then Jezabel began her dirty accusations. In her attempt to protect her friend, Jezabel pinned [i]everything[/i] that could have happened on Shaun, despite it just not being possible...

Krista gripped the podium hard, her knuckles turning white from the strain. She looked directly at Jezabel at this point, almost challenging the trickster. [color=6c9b8f]"I believe in Shaun! He couldn't have done it!"[/color] It just couldn't [i]be[/i] him! 

[color=6c9b8f]"Now... let's begin with Marianne's room. When Shaun and I checked her room earlier, we found nothing; no handbook, no note, no buzzer. And we found absolutely nothing in her room, so the buzzer found in Shaun's room had to be carried by Marianne herself! Shaun couldn't have gone into her room without her permission or handbook right? But Shaun didn't even have his own handbook until now!"[/color] Off to a strong start... right? But onto the wallet... now [i]that[/i] was something Krista knew how to argue.

[color=6c9b8f]"The truth bullet even says so! Parker knew Shaun already, but the truth bullet states that the person that COLLECTED the wallet was unknown! A MALE unknown! And unless Zachary will tell us that he's met PArker before, it can easily be him that collected the wallet!"[/color] Krista gave a quick beam towards Shaun at this point, giving the poor guy a thumbs up. [color=6c9b8f]"Two! Even if you're still doubting that irrefutable evidence, I have another thing for you! Ever since we found Shaun at the staircase, he's been with me the entire time, and we never went anywhere near the study!"[/color] 

[color=6c9b8f]"Aaaand three! Isn't it possible that Geina told someone else about Parker too? I mean, if she was willing to break the rules and talk to Alice about her sister, then surely she would tell anyone else that she likes!"[/color] Krista then crossed her arms over her chest, feeling satisfied but not quite done yet.

[color=82a327]"Buuut~"[/color] Elias interjected, Krista's head immediately snapping in the puppet's direction in surprise. [color=82a327]"He could still be the killer. You haven't refuted that~"[/color]

[color=6c9b8f]"Of course I have! Shaun was attacked when I found him. Mercy can even confirm that the thing in the syringe is anaesthesia! He was attacked and I was with him the entire time after-"[/color]

[color=82a327]"And what if he was faking his attack? All you gotta do is pretend to have a silly little headache, right?"[/color]

[color=6c9b8f]"Well... maybe... but there isn't any proof to suggest that he faked his attack! Look at him now, he's still pale as hell! Shaun isn't the type to lie about things that happen to him, unlike [i]some[/i]."[/color] While she didn't mean to be too harsh on Zachary for omitting his run-in with Geina, she still had to prove her point. [color=6c9b8f]"I found him lying face down on the stairs like he was drugged then pushed from the top, that's a lot of thought into something that is faked."[/color]

Still... not quite satisfied. Her eyebrows furrowed. There was something that Jezabel had said during her accusation against Shaun... She turned back to the trickster, still concerned.

[color=6c9b8f]"But... Jezabel... I want to ask you something... You said that Shaun could have stolen the arrows from the dojo right...? But didn't Zach already tell us that they were in his room? He never confirmed whether they were in the dojo after his... thing with Geina... so... how do you know they were in the dojo?"[/color] She ended it on an unsure note. Did she miss something, or was that a slip...?
