Chapter 4: Out of the Frying Pan, Part VI (Class Trial)
----
Madoka: In fact, I might as well just confess.
Kaiji: To murder, hopefully?
Madoka: ...No.
Yukiharu: So what the hell did you do then?
Madoka: Here's my story. I heard loud noises on the fourth floor, so I decide to follow them and look who's on the floor, looking rather dead? Hirou. No idea who the hell did it, but I think to myself, "I wonder how much of a shitshow the investigation would be?"
Daigo: And so...
Madoka: Spilled some wine on him and lit him up. Then I ran off north. The end.
Kaori: (Madoka's confession... there's something just wrong with it.) Something's up with her recollection of events.
Ayane: ...She could be lying through the skin of her teeth. Don't trust the Ultimate Con Artist.
Madoka: I don't trust you either.
Kaori: I mean, she only confessed to one detail of the crime.
Ayane: And that is...?
----
(Multiple Choice)
1. Murdering Hirou.
2. Burning the body.
3. Firing the guns.
Answer: Burning the body.
----
Kaori: She only confessed to burning the body, Ayane.
Ayane: And what if she's omitting evidence that she knows will incriminate her?
Kaori: Maybe show her something she may not recognise?
Kaiji: Ah yes, bluff her by revealing that she doesn't know enough. What an original idea. Bravo, Kaori. Let us be worthless together.
Kaori: (Okay. You can do this, Kaori. Maybe show her something about how the killer escaped the crime scene? That could work.)

TRUTH NEEDLE: Movie Poster
----
Kaori: Madoka... do you recall taking this?
Madoka: What the- What the hell is that?!
Kaori: It's a movie poster. A piece of evidence
Madoka: I... I don't recall seeing anything like that!
Kaiji: Maybe give her the benefit of the doubt and think she didn't do it?
Yukiharu: Nuh-uh! She's guilty as sin! Simple as that! She basically confessed to it anyway!
Ayane: Who else thinks that Madoka is the culprit?
Daigo: Me, unfortunately.
Souta: Well, something's definitely wrong with what she said. By that, I mean she doesn't know enough! How about we have a little talk about it?
Monokuma: A talk? More like a debate, you say? Ahh, I look forward to the finest of mudslinging.
Madoka: I know it's going to be wild...
Ayane: Then we might as well be as civil as we can. This could spell our end, everyone.
Kaori: (Keep calm. You can handle this debate...)
