"So then, there should be no issue with Quill and Makoto's initial assertion... The victim was killed in the boys locker room, and was then later moved to the girls locker room. And the killer could have easily used Sayaka or Junko's handbook to get into the girls locker room." Kyoko explained
"So Chihiro really was killed in the boys locker room!?" Taka asked
"I still don't understand the motive for moving the body, but...yes, that does seem plausible."
"Well...I must admit, I did find it rather odd... I knew she felt a little...off. There was a certain incongruity to her 'female' body." Byakuya said
"You shut your goddamn mouth" Quill snapped
Byakuya shuddered under Quill's glare before recomposing himself "So now everything has been connected. All the mysteries have finally become clear."
"Okay, well, connected or clear or whatever... We still think you're the killer, remember?" Hina shouted
"Hmhm. Very interesting. This has become very interesting indeed..."
"Ahh, he's off in his own little world..." Hifumi sighed
Kyoko turned to Makoto "What about you, Makoto? After everything we've learned, do you still think Byakuya's the killer?"
"Well, without a doubt Byakuya's the one that made Chihiro's death look like Genocide Jack did it." Makoto hesitated before speaking again "But...but I... I think he might not actually be the killer after all."
"What? But aren't you and Quill the ones who accused him in the first place?" Hifumi asked
"I never said he killed her, I just said he set up the scene" Quill corrected him
"He just seems to be too...easygoing about all this." Makoto continued "Like he's enjoying us solving the mystery. The way he's acting, it makes it seem like it doesn't have anything to do with him."
"And you think that might be because it doesn't have anything to do with him?" Celeste questioned him
"Plus, the evidence he left behind was a little too...how can I put it? Overt. He consciously chose to use the extension cord, knowing it could connect him to the murder. At least, that's how I see it..." Makoto turned to the one in question "And Byakuya, when you found out the murder took place in the boys locker room, it seemed to rattle you. And then again when you found out Chihiro was biologically male... If you really were the killer, that stuff wouldn't have had any effect on you."
"So that's your thinking, huh? Well, it bothers me that you don't have more concrete reasons, but..." Byakuya sighed "It's fine. I guess I'll mark it as correct, for the time being."
"Mark it as...correct?" Hina repeated
"He's right. I am not the culprit. I just happened to come across the corpse in the girls locker room, and decided to alter it."
"Are you fucking with us right now...?" Mondo fumed
"No, I am not...effing with you right now. I'm telling you the truth." Byakuya was apparently unable to say fuck
"Well I find it very hard to believe!" Taka shouted
"Go ahead, find it very hard to believe. You're free to be executed along with the rest of us."
"If you're really telling the truth, then...why? Why'd you do that to her body?" Hina grit her teeth
Quill sighed "His reasoning doesn't matter right now, we have other things to worry about"
"Yes, now then...if it wasn't me, who was it?" Byakuya shouted
"W-Well...I don't think I can say for sure without talking about it a little more." Makoto admitted
