"Yes." Setsuka said. "I was entertaining myself by practicing trick shots on the billiards table in the Recreation Room-"
"Wait, you know how to play pool?" Kokoro blinked.
"DON'T FUCKING INTERRUPT ME," Setsuka shrieked angrily, shocking the cosplayer back into silence. "I'm not a billiards player, you know."
"That means Kokoro and Syobai are the only ones without an alibi." I spoke.
"I was in my room the whole time." Kokoro said. "So, I didn't do it."
"What about Syobai?" I asked.
NON-STOP DEBATE, START!
Nikei: Face it, Syobai. You're the one who murdered Shinji and Kanade!
Syobai: I didn't do it, you monster!
Nikei: Don't try to deny it! The killer is obviously you!
Teruya: I'm with Nikei on this one!
Syobai: Yeah, but I didn't do it!
Maybe I can prove that Syobai didn't do it!
Mikado: NO, THAT'S WRONG!
BREAK!
"Syobai has his own alibi, remember?" Mikado asked.
"Yes..." I spoke.
"Syobai can't be the culprit just because... stuff." Kokoro spoke. "And we now confirmed that he didn't do it."
And then...full insanity broke out of them.
Gone was the quiet, docile person we had known from day one, and standing in their place was the one they'd been hiding from the beginning.
"Aha...ahahahahaha!" Kokoro laughed loudly. "We're getting closer to finding out the culprit... It's so hopeful! IT'S WONDERFUL! I can't wait for the execution, since it seems like that would make all of you despair. And I love despair!"
Sora glanced at the cosplayer with a nervous look. "Um...is it just me?" she asked. "Or is Kokoro getting crazier by the minute?"
"Don't tell me..." Syobai said, Kokoro drooling with swirling eyes as they gushed about how good despair was. "Is this the true Mitsume? Was they hiding their true nature all along?"
"S-Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you, Kokoro?" Teruya asked as he sweated.
"Let's discuss more about my sister's death." Hibiki said.
NON-STOP DEBATE, START!
Syobai: We have to discuss Mr. Kasai's death first.
Mikado: Shinji had most of his clothes on.
Teruya: Wait... most of his clothes on...?
Kokoro: Oh, yea... he wasn't wearing his jacket.
Hibiki: What, like someone stole it off his dead body or something?
...No, nobody stole it!
Nikei: NO, THAT'S WRONG!
BREAK!
"No one stole his jacket... it was thrown just a couple feet away from his body." I explained.
"Right... it was ripped, too. Like someone cut or tore it off..." Mikado paled.
Sora, Iroha, Setsuka, and Syobai gasped loudly in horror.
"That... monster...!" Setsuka spat.
