Non-Stop Debate, Start!
Kanade: So Emma's throat was slit. She died of blood loss, the poor dear. Such a terrible way to go!
Hibiki: Oh... ew... That's... not cool.
Yoruko: (disgusted) That... makes this so much worse.
Sora: I think Kokoro is the killer! The fact she was all covered in blood at the crime scene proves it!
Kokoro: Wait, I'm not the killer!
Sora: Yes you are. You don't even have an alibi!
Ooh... no Kokoro isn't...
Mikado: NO, THAT'S WRONG!
BREAK!
"Guys, Kokoro isn't the culprit," I answered. Kokoro gasped.
"Kokoro, I think you killed Emma." Nikei pointed at the cosplayer. "We found you FUCKING covered in blood at the scene of the crime!"
"Why are we splitting over me!?" Kokoro hissed.
HOLD ON!
Monocrow roared. "You just said split!"
"Please not again!" Yuki begged.
"Jabberwock Island is proud to present....its very own morphenomenal trial grounds!" Monocrow beamed, turning the key in his throne.
And just like that, all the podiums shot up into the air and rearranged, despite the furious protests of the passengers.
Split Onipon!
Kokoro is the Culprit: Nikei, Sora, Syobai, Shinji, Kanade, Yoruko
Kokoro isn't the Culprit: Setsuka, Hibiki, Mikado, Kokoro, Teruya, Iroha
Is Kokoro the Culprit?
DEBATE SCRUM, START!
Nikei: I pointed a hand at Kokoro, you know!
Teruya!
Teruya: The only way that crime could've been done is with a sharp object, and you guys know it!
Sora: You hid what you knew about sharp objects, didn't you Kokoro?
My turn!
Mikado: Why the hell do you keep insisting the killer's Kokoro?!
Shinji: She's the most suspicious!
Hibiki!
Hibiki: Nobody even believes that! What we have for evidence all add up, idiot!
Kanade: It'd be even more stupid to assume that she's in the clear!
Iroha!
Iroha: Kokoro's always been so kind... I don't think she'd try to kill someone.
Syobai: Even kind people can do bad things, Miss Nijiue.
Kokoro: Y-You all think that I'm the culprit, don't you? Your eyes.... Your staring eyes boring into me, n-not even a doubt in your mind. It's not just the evidence that c-convinced you... It's that you all hate me!
Setsuka!
Setsuka: Listen to her, guys! Please, you have to hear her out! You can't... You can't just abandon her when she needs you the most. That's... That's just messed up!
Mikado: You're right, Setsuka. Someone's clearly framed Kokoro, and that someone is the true culprit.
*Full couter!*
This is our answer!
BREAK!
"So, then, Kokoro did not kill Yoruko," I realized.
"In that case...who did?" Nikei asked.
"Nikei, you should be glad you're not the killer, or your bones would have been all broken with ropes by now!" Yuki said.
"Anyways, we should talk about the murder weapon." Setsuka said.
Non-Stop Debate, Start!
Setsuka: This was found in Kokoro's hand.
Nikei: It's a plain butter knife.
Mikado: It couldn't be the murder weapon.
Setsuka: Hmm... you say that, but... that's not what I see. You do recognize this butter knife, yes?
Mikado: I do...
Setsuka: You've seen it before?
Mikado: Yes...
Setsuka: On Yoruko? Could she not be the killer?
Possible...Perhaps even probable. Setsuka, you're one smart gal!
Mikado: I AGREE!
BREAK!
"In other words, I believe that that butter knife is proof at our culprit." Setsuka announced.
Now where have I seen that butter knife...?
Suddenly, I knew who had done it. The one who'd killed Emma.
They incriminated themselves during the debate...
I glanced over to a certain gamer, absolutely hating what I had to say next. But as much as I didn't want to, as much as I wanted to instantly forgive her and forget this ever happened... for the sake of everybody else, I had to.
"I'm afraid it was you... Yoruko."
