"A body has been discovered! After a certain amount of time has passed, the class trial will begin!" Ressa said over the monitors. I stood frozen, waiting for the announcement to go off again. But it didn't. One of them... was alive? Kajiwara walked over to Imamura, and felt her arm, as he rested his arm underneath her pillow.

"She's alive." Kajiwara said. My eyes went wide. Then... that meant... that... Taguchi was...

"Yep-a-roni that I put on my yep-a-roni pizza!" Ressa laughed, wandering into the room. "Taguchi has bit the dust! Or, maybe he bit the yep-a-roni pizza..." Ressa continued.

"So... you're here to give us the files..." Kawata said, stared at Taguchi's lifeless body with a serious, surprised look.

"YES!!! I AM!!!" Ressa laughed maniacally. "IT TOOK YOU GUYS SOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!!! That I literally had to make the motive have a shorter time limit!" Ressa laughed.

"Hey, wait..." I began, looking to Ressa. "I- if... someone had his target card... w- we get to leave this place, right!?" I asked desperately. Ressa chuckled to himself.

"Oh foolish little Hirano..." Ressa laughed. "You see, I would've announced that you were free! But, since I didn't..." Ressa chuckled to himself. "The killer was someone with a different sacrifice card!" Ressa laughed.

"Are... are we allowed to know who has the card?" Kawata asked. Ressa thought to himself for a moment.

"Sure! Why not? Have a free alibi! But no one else can say their sacrifice card. That'll ruin the surprise!" Ressa laughed. "Alright, it's time!" Ressa said, spinning around as quickly as a tornado and then coming to a full stop, holding three files in the air. "Murder File number 4! Take good care of it!" Ressa laughed. He handed us the files, before disappearing. I stood frozen, staring at the file.

Taguchi... died? N- no... that wasn't possible... r- right?! He'd... just come back to us... he was finally apart of the group! I- I could never imagine... that the guy who'd spent the first half of the game terrifying me to the bone... would die. Especially after everything he went through to get to where he was today.

"Hey... Hirano..." Kawata said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "It's... gonna be okay... we'll just... have to do it again..." Kawata laughed nervously. He continued to stare at Taguchi's corpse, a look of shock, sorrow, disappointment. But not of Taguchi. Oh himself.

"Unfortunately... it seems we've found ourselves in this situation once again..." Kajiwara sighed. "I'll... perform an autopsy on the body and see if I can discover anything, like always." Kajiwara said, wandering over to Taguchi's body.

I took a deep breath, looking to the file. So... it's time to do this again. I opened the file.

Victim: Taguchi Masahiko
Age: 18
Height: 6'3
Weight: 128
Time of Death: 12:00 AM - 5:00 AM
Cause of Death: Victim died of blood loss.
Bodily Wounds: Punctured Stomach, Bruised Eye.

I sighed, looking to Taguchi Masahiko. That... looked like a painful end.

Truth Bullet 1: Murder File 4

I looked to Taguchi's body again, as I put away the file. He looked so disturbed. I sighed, walking over to the lifeless figure and began scanning at him, fear in my eyes as I slowly investigated. Kajiwara placed a hand on my shoulder to try and reassure me, before turning back to the corpse to search. I paused, checking his pocket. Inside was a small piece of notecard paper. I pulled it out, and looked inside. "Arima". It was his target card. Well... at least we know that he didn't have his own card.

Truth Bullet 2: Taguchi's Target Card

I looked back. His body was covered head to toe in blood. But why was that? Some blood was around his mouth, and the rest was on his abdomen. And a small hole was made in his shirt, that seemed slightly burnt around the edges.

Truth Bullet 3: Burnt Hole

I paused, before slowly lifting his shirt up. I dropped it back down, almost puking into my hands. There was a small hole in his flesh, which terrified me. An uneasy feeling overcame me, as I continued to think about it. What... could've caused this? And did that cause the blood around the mouth? If so... why?

Truth Bullet 4: Abdomen Wound

I looked to Taguchi's hands. They were covered in blood. But why was that? Why were Taguchi's hands covered in blood?

Truth Bullet 5: Bloody Hands

I took a stepped backwards, accidentally stepping into a red liquid. It was blood. But, I hadn't noticed until now that it was all around the room. I paused. No, it wasn't around the entire room. It was in a trail. It went from Taguchi's body, over to Imamura, circled to the corner with the cabinet, and then over to the door. Or... maybe it was the other way around...

Truth Bullet 6: Blood Trail

Speaking of the cabinet... it had been tipped over onto it's side. The giant metal cabinet was the thing that blocked us from getting through the door in the first place, and was very difficult to move. But that wasn't the only thing interesting about it. The cabinet had blood on one side of it, with bloody hand prints being the most interesting signs of disturbance. And it had been tipped over so that it was completely visible. But... why was the cabinet in that state? When I had stayed at the hospital, the cabinet was right side up next to the door. But... this one was laying in front of the door. Why was that?

Truth Bullet 7: Metal Cabinet

I paused, looking towards the middle of the room. On the ground was a small hand gun, that almost seemed clean, except for the handle that had blood on it. I took a moment to think, before walking over and pushing the gun onto it's other side. This side was covered in blood completely, which made the other side seem nonexistent. But... why was it like this?

Truth Bullet 8: Hand Gun

Suddenly, Kawata picked it up off of the ground.

"W- wait! Kawata! What are you..." I began. Kawata pulled out the magazine, and poured out the bullets into his hand. Out came five bullets, that had not been used quite yet. He pulled back part of the gun to look inside, seeing no other bullets were inside. We stared at it for a moment...

"... how many can it hold?" I asked.

"Well, this hand gun..." Kawata began, looking at it for a moment to try and answer the question. "About... twelve." He said.

"... so seven are missing?" I replied. He paused for a moment.

"Well... it's unclear how many bullets were loaded up, so we can't know how many were used or loaded into the gun." Kawata explained.

"So... we have to solve that first..." I replied. He nodded. But... how could we figure that out?

Truth Bullet 9: Ammo

I paused, looking to a small container that was peaking out slightly from underneath Imamura's hospital bed. I got down on my hands and knees, being sure to not get any blood on the dress I was still wearing from last night. I pulled it out. It was a white plastic bottle, covered in blood. I paused for a moment, seeing that the label was still on it. I tried to look at it through the blood, but it was barely visible and unreadable.

"Hey, uh, do either of you guys have a wet wipe?" I asked.

"Yeah." Kawata said, tossing me a small thing of wet wipes. I opened it, pulling it out and wiping the blood off the label. I scanned through it for a moment. I pulled open the top of the container, and looked inside. White powder. Quickly, I closed it back up.

This was the same as the poison used in Furuya's trial. But... why was it here?

Truth Bullet 10: Bottle of Poison

I looked to Imamura's hospital bed. The sheets had been covered in blood, and almost seemed to be ramped with. I paused, taking a deep breath and moving Imamura's sheets off of her. There was nothing underneath except for her. But... the peculiar thing is that her hand was covered in blood, and seemed to be in a fist. Why was that?

Truth Bullet 11: Bloody Sheets

I continued to look around the room, but I didn't find anything else. I paused for a moment. Another good place to look would be the sacrifice dome. Since Taguchi had been there, it may leave some good clues. I headed for the door, opening it. I walked out, before looking to Otani and Arima.

"W- what... happened?" Arima asked. I stared at the ground, before opening the door and pointing inside. The two walked to the door, Arima gasping. "Oh god... oh god oh god oh god OH GOD!!!" Arima blurted out, sweat rolling down his face in a panic. I looked to Otani, who had tears rolling down his face.

"Oh... I..." Otani paused, before looking to me with a sad smile. "Thanks Hirano... I'll... start investigating..." Otani reassured me, before turning to Arima to make sure he was doing okay. I sighed, continuing to the sacrifice dome.

I walked inside. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary on first appearances. I walked over to the metal door that led to the other room. I looked at the lock. It was on. I put my hand on the door knob. It opened. I stared at it for a moment. How did that happen? I sighed. My best guess was that the other side of the door was locked. If I went inside, I'd probably get locked in. But they'd come and get me. Everyone has to attend the class trial.

On that note, how does Imamura even come to the class trial? She's in a coma right now... so how does she show up? I shook the thought out of my head. I didn't want to waste time by thinking about these kinds of things. I wandered into the connecting room, and tried to open the door. It was locked. As I'd suspected. I sighed. Well, they'd need to come into the room to get me, so it would be okay.

Truth Bullet 12: Unopened Metal Doors

I would've placed something to keep it open, but to test out my theory that required the door to actually close. I sighed, not focusing on that little detail. I stepped inside of the room, and immediately, something in the opposite corner of the room grabbed my attention. I walked over, and knelt down. There was a pair of open handcuffs. But... why were they here?

Truth Bullet 13: Opened Handcuffs

My eyes drifted to something sitting beside the handcuffs. I picked it up for a moment, unable to tell what it was for a moment. And suddenly, it came to me. It was a paper clip. But it had been bent out. I wonder...

Truth Bullet 14: Paperclip

I placed the paper clip back down on the ground, before turning back to the room. Immediately, I bumped into a table that was directly in the way. I paused, looking to the metal table. There wasn't anything interesting about it. It was just a normal metal table with four legs. But there was something that caught my attention. There were four scrape marks on the ground which led to the table. And, if I had to make an estimate, the table is about where the one way window is.

Truth Bullet 15: Metal Table

I paused, looking to something else on the floor, closer to the door. I wandered over, kneeling down. It was another wall panel. But why was there one here? And why was it open? I pushed it back into place, holding it there for a moment. A small, barely visible white ribbon stuck out from the wall. I dropped it back down. What did this mean?

Truth Bullet 16: Open Wall Panel

I looked inside the wall panel. I gasped, before pulling out a small note out from inside. I opened it up, staring at the contents. My eyes went wide as I unfolded. "Surprise! You found it! What a nice present, huh?" What did that mean? I paused, looking to the bottom right corner of the page. A small black paw print. What... did this mean?

Truth Bullet 17: Note

My attention was drawn to something that was pretty much right above me. An open vent on the ceiling. It was about six feet above the ground, with the roof being seven feet. But the most interesting thing, was that there was a handle inside of the vent. Why was that?

Truth Bullet 18: Open Vent

I looked to the floor right below the vent. On the ground was a small coin. But it wasn't a regular coin. This one had been bent, with part of it chipped off. But why?

Truth Bullet 19: Coin

I looked to the side, seeing something close by to the coin. Leaning up against the wall was a vent cover, and twelve screws laying next to it. I could tell that it had been on the human-sized vent before, but why was it here?

Truth Bullet 20: Screws and Vent Cover

I examined the rest of the room, searching for any other evidence I could use. But there didn't seem to be anything else in this room. I sighed, walking to the table. Now all I could do was wait to be let out of the room. I sighed, sitting down on top of it and leaning my body against what I assumed was the one way window.

"Jeez, this is sad." Ressa said, sitting next to me.

"Why are you here?" I asked. Ressa chuckled.

"Well, you see, I'm here because I don't like it when my students aren't allowed to fully investigate to their fullest potential! And I think you're a little bit stuck." Ressa laughed.

"Are you going to let me out!?" I blurted out, looking to Ressa with hope. Ressa burst into laughter, falling off of the table onto the floor. I sighed, lying back onto the wall.

"Oh my! Jeez Hirano! I never thought you'd be so funny!" Ressa laughed. He stood up, and chuckled to himself for a moment. "I'd much rather give you an opportunity for further events."

"What?" I replied. Ressa chuckled, pulling out a file from behind him, and handed it to me. I paused, opening it with a key falling out from inside. There were a couple pages inside of it as well.

"What... what does this..." I started, before turning to Ressa. He laughed a bit.

"You know something Hirano? I really like mysteries! They've been something I enjoyed for a very long time. I also really like it when people solve my own mysteries! So even though it may be against their wishes..." Ressa chuckled. "I'm going to have the smartest person here try and decipher them..." Ressa laughed, as he wandered over to underneath the vent. "Though, you're still required to come to the class trial. So I suggest putting that in your room until then..." Ressa laughed. Suddenly, he pulled a grappling hook out from behind him. "Au revoir!~" he yelled, pointing the grappling hook up and firing, immediately grabbing onto something in the vent, and then pulling him up.

I stared for a moment, before turning to the file. I took a deep breath. This was an interesting development. But... I had to focus on getting through the class trial. There was no way I was going to solve this all right now, knowing Ressa he probably made it very difficult. And there's no telling if the passcode to get out of this place was even here. I took a deep breath, picking up the key that fell out of the file. I held the papers under my arm, and used the key on the door. It unlocked.

I walked through, and paused at the main room. I looked over at the window, taking a moment to stare at it. I walked over, looking through it. My eyes went wide. I couldn't see anything in the corners of the room. The only things in sight was the edge of the table, the middle of the room with the scraping on the floor, and the back wall. Huh... that's... interesting...

Truth Bullet 21: Windows Perspective

I walked out of the sacrifice dome. I took a moment to think, before I began walking around the circus tent. If... my theory was right... around the back of the circus tent...

I was right. At the back of the tent, the vents exit was. It was as if the tent had been cut in a square and a vent had been put in its place. Maybe there was more things that had been put at the backs of these buildings that we just never noticed...

Truth Bullet 22: Exit Vent

I took a deep breath. I needed to get this to my room quickly, so I could continue to investigate. I quickly returned to my room, sliding the key and the file underneath the door. I sighed, standing up. Now... there was some valuable information I needed from certain people.

I headed back to the hospital, nearly getting a heart attack all over again as I headed up the stairs. I grabbed onto the hand rail, taking a deep breath. The last time I went up these stairs, we found Taguchi's dead body. It was still going to be there. That was clear. But... it scared me either way.

I forced the fear down, and continued up to the next floor. The blood on the door and in the hallway was still there. I took a deep breath, walking into the room. Everyone was still there. I looked around the room for a moment, before spotting the person I needed to talk to, so I quickly approached them.

"Hey... H- Hirano..." Arima said.

"Um, hey, Arima, I have a couple of questions." I replied. He nodded, looking at me intently. "Um, I need to know who has the keys to the sacrifice dome." Since Arima had gotten out of the sacrifice domes two locked doors, I assumed he'd have the keys.

"Oh, uh, I- I don't have them. I- I gave them to Kawata s- so he could go in out of T- Taguchi's holding cell." Arima explained.

"Okay." I replied. "And what about the gun? How many bullets did you put inside?" I asked.

"Um, when I- I went in there, I put s- six bullets in the magazine." He replied.

"Okay, just one more." I continued. "Did you see anything else when you went into that room?"

"W- well, I saw the closed vent o- on the ceiling. A- and there was a table i- in there. There was a- also the gun, b- but it isn't in there anymore." He replied.

"... nothing else?" I asked. He shook his head. "Alright, thank you for answering my questions."

"Y- yeah! A- any time!" He responded with a smile.

Truth Bullet 23: Arima's Account

I walked over to Kawata, who was inspecting different parts of the crime scene. He seemed to be lost in thought, as he stared at the container of poison.

"What are you doing?" I asked. Kawata suddenly snapped out of his trance, and looked to me.

"Oh, uh, I just wanted to brainstorm before the trial. I'm not really good at thinking on the spot with other people. I have to have a space to myself to understand it." Kawata replied.

"Oh, okay." I said. "Hey, uh, Kawata."

"What is it?" He asked, sympathetic smile on his face.

"Can you tell me what happened last night?" I replied. He stared at the ground for a moment, almost ashamed of himself before turning to me.

"Yeah... I can..." Kawata said, taking a deep breath. "Last night, I watched Taguchi through the window until I..." Kawata paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. "I got this... really bad headache. I think it happened because of that fuzzy feeling I told you about." Kawata explained. He winced for a moment. "Then, I passed out about thirty minutes later. I woke up at 5:32 and the headache was gone. But Taguchi was gone, so I went to the hospital with you and Kajiwara to make sure Imamura was okay..." Kawata took a deep breath. "I cannot believe... that I failed to protect everyone again... just because of..." he paused for a moment, before his eyes went wide, becoming more agitated. "Fuck..." he blurted out, before dropping to the ground and grabbing his head.

"W- what's wrong!?" I called out, kneeling down next to him. He gripped onto his hair, taking deep breaths.

"I can't... think about the memories without... getting a..." he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His eyes became tired, as he stood up, grabbing his head. "I... need to go... sit down..." he barely managed to get out, before heading out of the room, his back arched as he walked. I sighed. I hope he's doing okay.

Truth Bullet 24: Kawata's Account

"Hirano." Kajiwara said, grabbing my attention. "I'm here to give you the details of the autopsy." I nodded.

"Oh, okay." I replied. He took a deep breath.

"Taguchi was shot with a bullet at a very short range. The bullet punctured his stomach, which caused internal bleeding and Taguchi to vomit up blood. And the bullet entered at an angle." Kajiwara explained. I nodded.

"Thanks Kajiwara." I said.

Truth Bullet 25: Kajiwara's Autopsy

"Hey... Kajiwara..." I continued. Kajiwara stared at me for a moment, before closing his eyes and nodding.

"I see. You're wondering if I'm the culprit since I was here in the hospital last night." Kajiwara said. I sighed, nodding. He stared for a moment. "Well, if this answers your question, I might as well show you. Especially since Ressa is allowing it." Kajiwara replied, pulling a notecard out of his pocket, and handing it to me. My eyes went wide.

"... 'Taguchi?'" I read aloud. Kajiwara nodded. I stared at him for a moment.

"If I killed Taguchi, we would've escaped the killing game." Kajiwara replied. I smiled, and nodded. Kajiwara paused for a moment. "But I may as well give you my own alibi." He continued. "Last I saw Imamura was last night, and at the time I didn't see anyone else enter the hospital. I went to sleep at about one in the morning, after I got changed out of my party outfit." I stared at him for a moment.

"Hey... um... do... do you think it's possible that Imamura woke up?" I asked. He shook his head back and forth.

"No. Ressa's medical supplies may not be of the highest quality, but it should at the very least last about twenty four hours, so she should wake up in a couple of hours." Kajiwara explained. "And there is absolutely no way that Imamura would've been able to stand up, even if she did wake up. Her injuries are to severe for that." I nodded.

"Thanks Kajiwara." I replied.

Truth Bullet 26: Kajiwara's Account

Suddenly, the monitors turned on.

"Hello everyone! Wow, this is very very interesting! Taguchi's DEAD!!! Man, can't believe he died. Well, maybe I can because he started crying like a baby after he was caught in a lie... ANYWAY!!!" Ressa laughed. "It's time for the class trial! Please head to the elevator everyone!" Ressa laughed, before the monitor shut off.

"Hey... what about Imamura? Is she just going to... stay here?" Otani asked.

"Yeah." Ressa replied, dropping out of a vent onto the ground.

"H- huh? Why are you here!?" Arima responded. Ressa chuckled.

"Well, you see, if someone asks a question I want to answer it, stupid." Ressa continued. "Anyway! Imamura's staying here. It would be REALLY boring if we just had someone who couldn't even speak the trial. UGH imagine that! I don't want to drag down the fun, so she stays put!" Ressa laughed, before throwing down a small smoke bomb, and disappearing with the smoke.

I sighed. It was time to go to the class trial. I headed to my room to get changed first. I didn't want to do a trial in an uncomfortable after such a rough night and day. A lot of people must've had the same idea, so we all headed to the elevator. But, three people arrived late. Kawata, Yamazaki, and Sugai. Kawata looked like he was about to throw up, and as if he was forced to get out of bed. Yamazaki was the same, but seemed a lot more agitated, and instead of almost throwing up his eye was twitching. And Sugai... well...

"Jeez! These two are real downers!" Sugai laughed, running over to the group, throwing the Fox mask off and racing over.

"What happened to you two?" Kajiwara asked, ignoring Sugai. Yamazaki groaned, rolling his eyes.

"Can I just fucking die already..." Yamazaki said under his breath.

"Um, I guess... th- this is it?" Arima responded. Otani nodded sadly. I took a deep breath, watching the doors to the elevator open again. Well... fourth times a charm?

Truth Bullet 3: Burnt Hole
In Taguchi's shirt, is a small hole around the stomach region. The cloth is slightly burned around where the hole is.

Truth Bullet 6: Blood Trail
A long trail of blood is going around the room, leading to Taguchi's body to the front of the door. The path goes from Taguchi's body, to Imamura's bed, circled to where the metal cabinet originally was, and then over to the outside of the door.

Truth Bullet 7: Metal Cabinet
The cabinet that's next to the entrance was pushed down in front of the door. The cabinet blocked the door from entry, and needed three people to shove while on its side. The cabinet has a lot of blood stains on the side facing the ceiling, with some of them being bloody handprints.

Truth Bullet 8: Hand Gun
On the ground in the middle of the room is a hand gun. It's covered in blood on only one side, and on the handle.

A pair of handcuffs are laying on the ground in the corner closest to the wall with a window and directly across from the doors. They've been opened and left there for an unclear answer.

Truth Bullet 14: Paperclip
On the ground next to the opened handcuffs was a paperclip, that had been bent out.

Truth Bullet 15: Metal Table
The table is up against the wall where the one way window is. The table isn't too heavy, but there are a couple of scraping marks on the ground leading to where it was placed.

Truth Bullet 16: Open Wall Panel
There is a wall with an open wall panel next to the door. Pushing the panel back in, it has a small piece of white ribbon revealing it every so slightly from the wall.

Truth Bullet 17: Note
Inside the wall, there is a small note. It reads "Surprise! You found it! What a nice present, huh?" With a paw print at the bottom right hand corner.

Truth Bullet 18: Open Vent
On the ceiling, about a foot down from the seven foot roof, is an open vent. Inside the vent is a singular handle, and then you can't see the rest from there.

Truth Bullet 19: Coin
On the ground beneath the vent is a coin. But the coin has been bent, and not taken care of properly.

Truth Bullet 20: Screws and Vent Cover
Near the coin are twelve of screws on the ground. Leaning against the wall is a vent cover.

Truth Bullet 21: Windows Perspective
Looking in from the one way window, you cannot see the edges of the right, left and closet wall because of the inward edges. It's impossible to see the evidence hidden inside, except for the drag marks from the table and the table itself, even though it's difficult to see that as well.

Truth Bullet 22: Exit Vent
On the outside of the tent, is another open vent. But this one was never noticed, because it leads out the back of the sacrifice dome.

Truth Bullet 23: Arima's Account
Arima had given Kawata the keys to the sacrifice dome, which allows them to leave the sacrifice domes cell, and stops people from getting trapped inside. Arima explained that the hand gun had a total of six bullets when he loaded it up, and so there should be six bullets now. Arima explained that the paper clip, nor the coin had been in there when he went in. The vent was also closed when he went in.

Truth Bullet 24: Kawata's Account
Kawata explained that he'd watched Taguchi through the window until about 2:00 in the morning, until he got a splitting headache, which effected his vision. He could still see through the window at about 2:30, until he passed out from lack of sleep and maybe because of the headache. When he awoke, it was 5:32, and he quickly raced out of the sacrifice dome and headed to the hospital.

Truth Bullet 25: Kajiwara's Autopsy
Kajiwara explained that there was a wound in Taguchi's abdomen made by a bullet. The bullet impacted the lower half of the stomach, which caused immediate internal bleeding and caused Taguchi to puke up blood. The bullet in Taguchi's body was shot very haphazardly, as if it wasn't pointed for his stomach.

Truth Bullet 26: Kajiwara's Account
Kajiwara has Taguchi on his target card, meaning that he couldn't have killed him or everyone would've been set free from the killing game. Kajiwara had last seen Imamura the night before, and didn't see anyone enter the hospital. He went to sleep at about one in the morning, after getting changed from his party outfit. Kajiwara suspected that Imamura couldn't have woken up in the night, but could definitely wake up very soon. Kajiwara also explained that there was no way Imamura would've been able to stand up because of the injury on the lower part of the spine, which effectively made her legs immobile on their own.
