"Okay, this won't exactly clear Orion of suspicion, but it is something worth noting. Well you see it can't be the knife that was suspended above Hammer...it was more likely to be globe...the knife doesn't have any rope or string on it, you see, but the globe does have a little bit of rope attached to it......"
"So? Big deal, I got the wrong weapon that was above Hammer, why does it matter?" Grimdark shrugs the contradiction in his theory off. "That isn't putting Orion in the clear any time soon, we should just get this over with"
"Now hold on, Grimdark" Serenade interrupts. "We can't just jump to conclusions, you should know that by now!"
"You give me one other person that could have done it!"
"Y-you want me to make my accusation already?! I can't just throw stuff like that around all willy-nilly!"
"Yeah, use some common sense!" Olive adds. "We're talking about our lives here, we need to be cautious!"
"Alright, alright, fine...well, why don't we talk about Orion's suspicion then...?" Beau suggests.
"Well, even if I personally don't think she's the culprit, I suppose we should try to explore the possibility" B says.
"V-very well...let us hear the theory of which you have came up with, although, I still stand by my statement of not being the culprit in our case...." Orion says, still rather shaken by the accusation.
There must be something that is wrong in Grimdark's reasoning....
"Well then...Serenade, I trust that you'll be defending Orion?" Grimdark folds his arms.
"Yes, I don't think that she's our culprit"
"Alright then...prove it to me! Prove Orion isn't the culprit!"
PREPARE YOURSELF, MAGGOT!!!!

-Pulley system
-Wallpaper
-Olive's Theory
-Samurai's Testimony
-HammerGrimdark- I still insist that Orion is the culprit. As one with the right weapon and the right abilities, it's only natural to suspect her, right? Even you can see that, Serenade. Why continue this farce when the truth is so very clear?
Serenade- What kind of actual evidence do you have? The fact that her weapon is the same that was used in this murder? You must have something more decisive than that!
Grimdark- Well, obviously there's that but there's also the fact that we didn't notice the knife when we first went into the cafeteria, she must have simply...used magic to make it unseen
I'll cut that claim into pieces!
"Really? She used a spell so we couldn't see the knife...? I think that it would be slightly redundant for her to do that"
"Redundant? What are you talking about? She must have used magic, I know that you ponies learn three basic spells when you're younger: levitation, invisibility and teleportation. Am I wrong?" Grimdark asked him smugly.
"He isn't, those are the right spells..." Nimbus says.
"But spells don't have anything to do with it...do you remember the hanging piece of wallpaper we found?" Serenade asks Grimdark.
"Wallpaper?" B repeats. "You found wallpaper in the cafeteria?"
"Yes, it was in the corner of the room though...why are you bringing it up?" Beau asks.
"Well...what if the culprit had more than one piece of wallpaper? They could use it to cover up the knife, we probably wouldn't notice it since it wouldn't look out of place..." Serenade suggests.
"Where would they even get it though?" Olive asked.
"I think I saw some in the school store" Samurai says.
"So our culprit has went to the store at least once...Orion, have you ever went to the store...?" Beau asks.
"No, I have not, I did not see any reason to go there after all, since you can only go when you find Monokuma Medals and I have not come across one, I have yet to have a reason to venture there..."
"So someone, other than Orion went to the school store and got wallpaper..." Grimdark says.
"But why was that wallpaper there in the first place?" Samurai asks.
"What do you mean?" Beau says.
"Well, it was in the corner of the room, yet the actual knife was over the body...so what was that covering?"
Hmm....well, there is one thing it could have been covering....but...I'm not sure...

-Pulley SystemNimbus- So a piece of wallpaper was hanging off the ceiling...?
Beau- Yes but we want to know what it's for
Samurai- It was hanging in the corner of the room...
Orion- Was there no way to tell what it was covering?
Samurai- It didn't seem like it...maybe it was one of the weapons?
Olive- Maybe Monokuma did some refurbishing! Nah, that's not it...
B- Or it could have been something else
Agreed!
"I don't think it was covering the weapon...but something like a trigger..."
"A trigger...?" Grimdark asks interested by Serenade's idea.
"Right, remember we found evidence of a pulley system in the cafeteria? It could have been covering up a part of it"
"That does seems to make sense" Nimbus admits. "Though, how do you suggest this pulley system was triggered?"
"Yes, it must have had something to trigger it..." Beau states the obvious. "But we don't exactly know what, do we?"
"Hmm....magic, maybe could have just triggered it...." Olive suggests.
"Then there would be no need for the wallpaper to cover it up" Grimdark retorts.
"Oh...right..."
So, now we need to figure out how the system was triggered...hmm...

-Samurai's Testimony
-Hammer's Testimony
-Olive's Theory
-Hammer's SpannerGrimdark- So even if we know that there's the possibility of a pulley system being used...we still don't know how the culprit triggered it....
Olive- We've already eliminated magic...
Samurai- Right...so what would that leave...?
Olive- Well...a few possibilities...
B- Like what? There isn't much besides magic as an explanation...
Nimbus- Well, first we need the figure out if such a thing exists...did someone see it?
Olive- Or someone smelled it? I dunno, I'm just guessing...
Orion- Could somebody here have heard it?
Agreed!
"Actually someone here did hear the trigger...well, we all did, only one paid attention thought. Right, Samurai?"
"Huh...?" Samurai looked confused.
"Remember you mentioned to me the noise you heard when you entered the cafeteria?"
"Umm...yeah, I did...why?" Samurai asked him.
"I think that whatever you heard might have triggered the weapon...wait..." Samurai...heard the trigger...?
"Serenade? You've gone pale...did you figure something out? Do you know who the culprit is?" Beau asks him..
"N-no...guys! T-that trigger! Samurai heard it go off when he entered the cafeteria!"
"Right...but what about it...? Is it really relevant to what we're talking about?" Olive asks.
"Wait...if the trigger went off when Samurai entered, then..." Beau's eyes widen. "He triggered the weapon..."
"Wha...?" Samurai went pale instantly. "I did...I did...w-w-w-w-w-WHAT?!"
"Samurai caused Hammer's death?!" B yelled out.
"That...that...that....that that that that that that that....INSANE?!!!!!" Samurai gripped the sides of his head in frustration.
"Of course...there is one other that could have triggered it...Serenade, do you remember who that was?" Beau asks him.
"Someone else? There are two suspects?" Olive says.
Someone else...? Oh, yeah...one other entered the room with Samurai...and that student was...
It could only be you!
