“Alright guys, I’ve got a bit of a secret for ya.” Monokuma was shifting side to side on his throne. “Word on the street is, if you can figure out who the killer is, only they will be punished. On the flipside, if you aren’t able to figure it out, everyone else will be punished, and the blackened will be discharged from the hospital with a clean bill of health!” Monokuma sighed. “This is the fourth trial right? I bet it feels like you’ve been doing this for [i]years[/i] now. And this is just one of many, many killing games.” He hugged himself. “It’s been a long time since a game has had a fourth trial, and I can count on one paw the number of games that went beyond that. [i]I wonder how you’ll do this time.[/i]”

Emily made a noizy coughing sound. “Well, I think we should start talking about the room. I mean.” Emily looked down at her hands. “This feels like a classic locked room mystery…”

“Wait a flabbin’ minute!” Ice pointed at Emily. “Weren’t you the last one in the room?”

Emily’s body tensed up. “Y-yes? No!? Apparently not?”

Max fret his brow. “It was curious to see you outside the room, being that you said you were going to remain with Jezebel.”

“I-I was, but that noise.”

Bliss placed a finger on the side of her chin. “The trap right? I was a little startled when it went off, but none of us dared leave Zachary alone.” 

Emily cleared her throat again. “Yes, it was the trap. I left the room and managed to do so without Jezebel’s e-handbook. I didn’t realize what had happened until later, when we were all trying to get back into the room.”

Ice squinted his eyes. “That sounds pretty fishy.”

Cyrus pounded his podium. When Ice looked at him, he simply adjusted his glasses, and refrained from looking at anyone. “It’s too early to point the finger at anyone. Let’s focus on the nature of the mystery and work on suspects when we have more to work with.” Cyrus looked at Emily. “That was not Faith that was carried into Jezebel’s room, correct?” Emily nodded. “Then Faith was taken in, their clothes swapped…” Cyrus shook his head. “One mystery at a time. Faith was present when their bodies were discovered, so she was moved in or willingly entered Jezebel’s room.” Cyrus looked to everyone. “Any ideas how that’s possible?”

Bliss turned to look at Zachary. “Um, so if you don’t mind me asking. What happened to you two?”
