We were in the elevator, waiting to see who would be waiting for us in the trial room. No matter who it is... after this trial, it will only be six of us. When the elevator doors opened, the trial room looked different from what I remember. I'm guessing... this was an old trial room?

"Where is Kokichi? Why isn't he here?" Maki asked. Whether it was Kaito or Kokichi who was still alive, neither of them were here. "I will tell you later." Monokuma said. "No matter what Kokichi's scheming, we will get through this trial!" Kiibo said, confidentally.

"Not... Kokichi..." I mumbled. I went to my podium and looked down. Kokichi wasn't the mastermind, as far as I knew. But... he may as well have been lying. I touched my lips and looked up at everyone's determined faces. I wonder how they will find out about his plan... because someone here is the mastermind, I know it.

I looked to my left and saw a picture of Kokichi with a question mark painted over it. Same goes for Kaito's portrait. I really needed a hand to hold right now. Monokuma said that this trial had unique circumstances. "Because the victim could be any of your two missing classmates, I decided to start this class trial with the victim's identity unknown!"

I balled my hand into a fist. I wanted to punch that bear square in the face, but I knew I couldn't. "The person who's still alive is waiting behind the scenes for their cue." Behind the scenes? Who says things like that? "I guess we have no choice but to start the trial." Kiibo muttered.

"What's there to talk about? The blackened is the mastermind, Kokichi." I shook my head. "This may sound crazy, but I don't think he's the mastermind." Everyone looked at me, rather shocked. "And how would you know that, Y/N?" Tsumugi asked. "I don't really have enough evidence to back myself up yet, but I'm 99.99% sure the mastermind isn't Kokichi."

Shuichi nodded and continued on with the trial. I didn't quite know if I wanted to tell everyone Kokichi's plan, especially since it would seem like I'm protecting the mastermind. Monokuma walked up next to me and gave me headphones. "I have a feeling that you won't really participate in this class trial." I looked to where they were connected, and a music app was opened for me to choose songs from.

But there was something else I noticed about it.

I sighed and put in the headphones while everyone debated.
