"The second one that could have caused Hammer's death would have to be...B..."
"Whaaaaa....?!" B wailed stunned.
"I hate to say it but...you and Samurai entered the room at the same time, if the trigger was the door, and that's just a theory...then you or Samurai would end up as the culprit..."
"So our culprit is either B...or Samurai...?" Olive asks. "The two unlikeliest of us all to kill someone?!"
"Yeah, if it was Grimdark or Beau, I wouldn't be surprised..." Nimbus says.
"What was that?!" Grimdark gritted his teeth.
"Zip it, Nimrod" Beau says sternly.
"N-Nimrod...?"
"May I interrupt you, Mr Stereo?" Orion asks him.
"Um...yeah, is something wrong?"
"Well...I was going to offer another explanation for the murder, if you all are willing to listen?"
"Go ahead, Orion, any other explanation is greatly appreciated" Nimbus says.
Oh just make out already, geez!
"Well...what if, the culprit was hiding inside the cafeteria at the time of the arrival of Mr Blade and Ms Positive? Then they would prove innocent." Orion smiles at her theory.
"That does seem plausible..." Beau says. "But...is that what happened?"
"Yes, I feared one of you might ask that, unfortunately, I have no evidence to give to support this theory of mine...." Orion admits disappointingly.
"And I'm not sure if there is any evidence to refute that at the same time..." Grimdark adds.
The culprit hid behind the door? Is that what happened...?
Non-Stop Debate
Evidence Bullets
-Monokuma File 5
-Hammer
-Hammer's SpannerOrion- My theory is...the culprit hid behind the door...
Olive- Of course, there's no way to support or refute it...
Samurai- They must...they must...I wouldn't....I'd never...
Olive- Also, Samurai's having a nervous breakdown...
Beau- If the culprit really did hide behind the door...there should be evidence of that...
Nimbus- Of course...there was none...
Grimdark- So what do we do now?! Do we just guess?!
B- We can't just guess!
Samurai- What do we...? Who do we...? Why...?
Something about Orion's theory is off....but where would that leave us...?
Orion- My theory is...the culprit hid behind the door...
You got that wrong!
"It would be rather strange if that were the case, Orion, after all. Nobody has said anything about something suspicious behind the door"
"W-well, yes, that is correct but-"
"Actually..." Olive interrupts awkwardly.
"...Olive...please tell me that you didn't hide evidence..." Serenade asks wearily.
"Well....kind of, yeah"
"OLIVE!!!" Serenade yells. "Why didn't you say anything earlier?!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't think it was relevant!"
"Well, what was it?!" Nimbus asks her.
"Well, you know the rails behind the doors that prevent them from going right back? When you enter, the one on the right has some markings on it, like something was gripped onto it"
New Ammo: Door rails were loaded into Serenade's ElectroID
"Hmm...something attached, you say?" Grimdark asks. "Okay...how did we not see that?"
"There could have been more wallpaper..." Beau suggests.
"How much wallpaper did this guy have?" Grimdark sighs.
"The limit does not exist apparently" Olive half-laughs.
.....the rails behind the door had something attached to it? What was it...?
"Serenade? Is something wrong?" B asks him, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Um..." I wonder...what if it was that...? "What was attached to the rails...? I think I might know..."
"Really?" Orion looks at him, obviously surprised. "You have a hypothesis?"
"I do..." Thanks to Olive...it must be this...
Of Course!
"Just before the trial started, Olive showed me Hammer's spanner that she had found under one of the tables in the cafeteria"
"What about it?" Beau says.
"Well, it's my theory that the culprit used that to hold the trigger in place, and that was the noise we kept hearing but paid no attention to, the door hitting against the spanner!"
That doesn't add up!
Everyone looked at Nimbus. "Now, Serenade. Where's the logic in that conclusion? It was HAMMER'S spanner, correct? Are you trying to say that Hammer is the culprit in this?"
"Well, no, Hammer isn't the culprit, he wouldn't plan his own death"
"Well then...prove that to me first! Prove Hammer did not plan this!"
Cross-Swords
Evidence Blades
-Neck Bruises
-Hammer's Testimony
-Hammer
-Samurai's TestimonyNimbus- You say that Hammer isn't the culprit, yet you say his spanner was used in his murder, AND you claim it was premeditated?! You cannot lump all of those ideas together and call them facts without solid evidence!
Serenade- I know I need solid evidence, Nimbus, that's just common sense!
Nimbus- Well, with a stalling tactic like that...you most likely don't have evidence!
I'll cut that claim into pieces!
"Wrong, Nimbus, Hammer didn't plan this because.if he did, he shouldn't have those bruises on his neck..."
"He has bruising on his neck?" Nimbus raises an eyebrow.
"Right, makes sense after all..."
"Why would that make sense? He could have got those bruises anytime" Beau points out.
"True, but I have reason to suspect that Hammer got those bruises just before he was killed..."
Of course!
"He told us, when Orion channelled his spirit that he was anonymously called out by someone and was then attacked from behind, that was most likely when he got the bruises."
"That does hold some merit..." B admits. "But...if Samurai or I were the ones that caused the murder...does that mean that the one who attacked Hammer isn't the culprit...?"
"......that...that does seem like the right explanation at the moment..." Serenade bit his lip. I don't like this...Samurai and B are the two I'm closest to here...I don't want to pronounce either one of them guilty...
"Well...? I guess we need to answer that question next. 'Is the culprit the one that attacked Hammer?'" Beau says.
"Yes...but how do we figure that out?" Grimdark asks. "The trigger was activated by the door, right? How can we figure out if the one that attacked Hammer activated it...?"
"We use logic, of course" Orion answers.
"L-logic...?"
"Yes, by using our own logic, we can easily come to the right conclusion...are we all prepared...?" They all gave a nod. "Very good, now, what scenario shall we look at first, the culprit is Samurai or B...or the culprit is someone else...?"
Hmm...what...what do I say...?
Of course!
"Well, the scenario of the culprit being another is one we haven't really thought about yet...so we should start there..."
"Are we all in agreement?" Orion asks and answered with another set of nods. "Very well then...so, our understanding is that in this scenario, the culprit is the same person that attacked Mr Head, correct? Then they used what to attack him?"
"What they used to attack him...?" Olive asked. "Well...there are a few things they could have used..."
A few things, true...but it was most likely this...
Of course!
"Maybe they used the hammer? It's smaller than the one used in the DigiBot's murder so it wouldn't do much damage to him"
"Yes. I agree" Orion smiles.
"Really? Couldn't that spanner that Serenade showed us earlier be what was used?" B asked.
"No, this was used as a trigger by the culprit in this scenario, since Hammer was attacked, that must mean he lost his spanner beforehand, it was stolen or, it isn't Hammer's"
"That sounds right..." Samurai says. "But of course, the problem is where the culprit would be in the crime scene, right...? I mean, as much as I hate saying it. B and I came through the door, where were they hiding?"
Well, Samurai calmed down...but that is good question...where did the culprit hide?
Of course!
"Most likely...they hid behind the door..."
"Behind the door? Is that even possible?" Olive asks.
"What do you mean? There's a small space for someone to hide there, I suppose so I don't understand what you mean" Serenade asks.
"Well...when did they leave? Didn't B come and get you right away? So when did the culprit sneak out?"
"I was in the room the entire time, I didn't see anyone leave" Samurai admits. "So...that means...B...or I...We...one of us..."
D-dammit...who the hell could be a culprit in this scenario?! The culprit stayed hidden even with Samurai not seeing anyone leave the room, they must have hid behind the door, that was where the trigger was...wait...the culprit...that's it!
"I know who the culprit is!"
"W-what?!" Olive said, surprised. "How do you know?!"
"This should prove to be an interesting accusation" Nimbus looked at the Pegasus.
"Well, Serenade...who is it? Tell us the true culprit in this murder" Beau commanded.
"The culprit....."
It could only be you!
