The group shades in the next page. A message appears:

Charlie killed Van. She's going to kill again.

The rooms move like a sliding puzzle, moving the empty space. Already it's moved left, down, left, and down. Find Charlie's room and save the others.

"..."

Ryuji looked down on the floor, clenching his fists. "S-Sayako...s-she wrote that..."

"Wait! HOLD IT!" Jay screamed, "How did Sayako know the rooms had moved left, down, and left already? All she would've heard was Van's request to hit 'down.' What else did she know!?"

"She… must've overheard the conversation between Charlie and Van… they were in the same room after all…" Flo was in a state of shock. She hadn't believed her own words, her own accusation. And yet it was all falling into place.

"Th…then. Charlie was indeed the zero. That's what Van tried to do. Get Zero to kill so she wouldn't have to again… But that wasn't enough, Charlie had to do it again…"

"Another thing!" Jay added, still in disbelief that the note was real, "She told herself to 'find Charlie.' The obvious question is: How did she find out that Charlie was in Room 5? Also, also, if she shot into the room, how did she knw where Charlie would be? She could have easily hit Arthur or myself!"

Sayako, who seemed barely aware of the discussion going on around her, chose to abandon her podium at this time. She rushed over to where Sakura stood and wrapped her arms around her, squeezing the origami practitioner tightly.

"Of course I won't..." she whispered through her tears. "I could never, ever forget you... T-the time I spent with you... it made me happier than I ever thought possible..."

Sakura, who was similarly crying, hugged Sayako back. "Thank you... thank you! I f-feel exactly the same way! N-no matter what happens, no matter... no matter which of us carries on, w-we have to stay strong! F-for the sake of the other." It sounded somewhat like a resolution of previously faltering beliefs, coming from her.

"Mm..." She nodded and did her best to swallow her sorrow. "I-I'm just sorry... w-we were supposed to do so many things together... g-go to the beach, travel the world, find you the perfect match... I-I couldn't deliver on any of it. Promise... promise you'll do all of those things and so much more, okay? Just... just find happiness, no matter what..."

"Sayako..." muttered Jay weakly from his podium. His legs becoming numb and allowing his weight to collapse with a dull thud. The tears began and would not wane, flowing like a river of sadness unobstructable by the dam of emotional self-control. "No... nononononono... It wasn't supposed to happen like this! Sayako, you never deserved this kind of mistreatment! I c-can't... I won't vote for you. I can't stand to lose any more of my friends!"

"I will! I-I-I absolutely will! I'll k-keep going, for your sake! A-all those places you never got to see, I'll see them!" Sakura promised. "S-s-so you do the same! Whatever happens, one of us... one of us needs to keep living!"

"W-wait! Sakura's shoulder pain!" Jay cried out suddenly, "In Sayako's note it said to save the others... I don't care how she knew which room Charlie was in--well I do, but, uh... anyway--Sayako must have told Sakura about the plan, and I think Sakura tried to bust through the wall! But then... the gunshots... and if she had busted through, that'd explain how she was able to see Charlie, but that doesn't explain why Arthur didn't see a giant hole being made in the wall."

Sakura would have laughed if the situation wasn't so horrible. "D-do you really think a weak girl like me could even dent a wall like th-that? E-even Van had to use an Axe!"

"A-and I th-think that would l-leave bruises, anyway."

"You... you're not weak, Sakura," Jay protested, trying his best to control his emotions with little effect, having made his way to a kneeling position at least, "But... even if you couldn't break through the wall, I'm just trying to figure out how you guys could've seen Charlie, or even known which room she was in! Look at me trying to be logical in a situation like this!

Sayako, if you'd been able to think about it, Charlie never found any bullets. There was no way she could have shot at anyone unless she fashioned a bullet out of something.

The shots came from Room 8, and I know they must have scared you and made you react, but how would you know where to shoot?

Plus, if... if you hadn't killed Charlie then, we could have voted for her here... the killing was completely unnecessary.

I'm... no, we're about to lose another friend for no good reason! This is getting to be too much!"

"Yes... yes, absolutely! N-no matter what!" Sayako answered and squeezed Sakura again. "I'll... I'll be happy enough for both of us! In... i-in a way, I already am..."

"A-and thank you, Jay..." she added to the Wordsmith. "But none of us deserve this... It-it's just how it is..."

"This entire Summer School has been us losing friends for no good reason!" Sakura yelled, shooting Monokuma a loathing glare. "This time he even went as far as to mess with our heads just to get us to kill each other! None of this is right... Yet we still have to move forwards! Don't you get it? Give up now and we've lost! That's... that's the commitment I've made. E-even th-though it m-may soon feel too painful to even consider moving on... Don't let either of our deaths be in vain. Don't give in to despair. Please..." The energy at which she spoke had dropped steadily throughout, and the last word had come out as barely a whisper. After that she turned away from the 'courtroom' and leaned into Sayako's embrace, desperately unwilling to let her go.

Matt hadn't said a word for most of the recent events. The only thing he did was punch Monomi in the eye, but that's besides the point.

"Hmm.. I don't have anything to say in defense of Sayako, sorry." He said, sighing. "I can't really say much.. feels like everything that can be said has been said."

"Okay, so I might have figured out how they could 'find Charlie'," Jay reasoned, having regained his composure. The time for tears was later. For now, he continued, "If Sayako didn't know where Charlie could have been, she would have had to search for her.

How do you search for something in rooms next to you? You could make holes in the sides of the space and see if you notice anything.

However, shooting a gun would draw attention, but they didn't need to.

They could have, I dunno, burned a hole in the wall with a candle, or used the hammer and stake to chisel holes.

In any case, somehow they found Room 5.

How? The rooms started with Room 2 above Room 5 before the movements at 02:40.

If you don't see Charlie anywhere through the walls, the next logical step is to check the floor.

That's when they saw into Room 5.

You probably wouldn't notice a hole in the ceiling unless you saw a piece of it fall... Maybe Charlie did see that?

Anyway, once they found where in relation to Room 5 they were, and where they were in the 3x3 grid since 3 of the walls led to the outside (they were in a corner after all) and one to an unoccupied room, they could maneuver themselves in a way to get into the position to break into Room 5.

They were probably going to try to chisel their way into Room 5, but then gunshots started ringing out and they knew they had to act fast. They chiseled a hole big enough to aim through and took the shot.

But who's the one who shot? Sakura had the shoulder injury, but Sayako had the gun. If they worked together, then... I'm not sure how to prove it at the moment.

Do you see any problems with this theory?"

Arthur inhaled and exhaled slowly. "No, I think that, or something close to it, must be correct. But... there's not nothing that we have to go on. It's possible that the situation is as Sakura said herself. That her shoulder pain arises from having fired the antique pistol without having a proper grip or stance. Such a thing has caused shoulder injury in others, and unless we find an alternative explanation of it, we cannot dismiss that it was Sakura herself that killed Charlie in the way we've outlined."

"M-M-Matchy..." Sakura had thought she'd come to peace with the conclusion a while ago, thanks to Matchy's support. However, nothing could have prepared her for the immense feeling of loss she was now having to deal with. Suddenly, without another word, she bolted from the trial area and ran all the way to her room, where she shut herself in.

Arthur merely watched as Sakura ran back to her room.

After a long while, Arthur finally said. "I'd like to take Sayako's journal. If no one has any objections. She asked me to do something and I think it would help."

Without waiting for a reply, he fished it off of her body, and retreated, leaving the courtroom.

Ryuji looked at Sakura as she bolted out, forcing his tears back in.

Quote:

She sniffled and looked at the class with serious eyes. “Matt, you need to find a girl with a spirit like yours. Maybe one who prefers colder seasons. Arthur, you need someone quiet like yourself, but just a bit more outgoing to get you to enjoy new experiences. Flo, you should look for somebody active, always travelling, always looking for something to do. Ryuji, I think you should find someone who makes you realize how special you are. Someone who’s always pushing you, and making you take big steps towards something better. Jay, find someone who laughs. That’s all you’ll need.”

"...S-Sayako..." Ryuji said with sadness, before confidently staring at the others. "E-Everyone! W-We can't let this happen again! No matter what! S-Sayako wants us to find someone important to us, s-so my promise to Tatsuya has an even stronger meaning to it now...t-this is our promise to Sayako, s-so let's all escape together, alright? We can't keep going on like this..."

"G-guys," Jay spoke up, between sobs as his last memory of the Coupler kept replaying in his mind, "I-I have a confession to make. N-no, it's not about Miss Amachi." He chuckled. Even in the midst of sadness, he still found the strength to laugh. He knew Sayako would have wanted that.

"B-Before Monokuma shooed away the ghosts, SiRReN and I embraced... and I got to bear witness to her passage." He raised the patch high into the air, the white lettering intended to grab the students' attention. He cleared his throat and recounted.

Spoiler: SiRReN's Last Goodbye

"I... I..." Jay could barely speak, the tears overcoming him once again as he clutched the patch hard to his chest. "I got to help her move on! Guys, I did it! SiRReN was able to leave this world behind in the best way possible! Even Monokuma couldn't take that away from me. Ev-ever since I was little, I'd always dreamed of seeing ghosts. I was fascniated by ghost stories and the paranormal. I knew ghosts stuck around on this plane for one reason or another. Also, you know how much I love to help others. O-one of my life's goals was to one day meet a spirit and help it 'complete its mission' and move on peacefully... And I did it! I really did it! I AM USEFUL!!!" Jay jumped into the air in delight, before accidentally flubbing the landing and slipping, crumpling to the ground, bursting into childlike laughter. "I wish I still had my PKE meter... That thing would've been going crazy in here!" he shouted finally after calming down. He stood up and resumed his stance at his podium, his confidence restored. He declared, "Let's all make it out... for Matchy, Charlie, Van, Alchie, Crimson, SiRReN, Cesar, Subaru, Karega, and Connie. But not Cox. Screw Cox!"

"Y-yeah, that was a bit harsh I suppose," Jay admitted, coming down off his mania enough to realize what he had said, "I do hope Solomon's happy... wherever he is. I-I'll be the first to admit that I am heartbroken at Sayako's death. Sh-she was becoming my new best friend, and I felt like I could almost talk to her about anything... but it seems like it was the same for you guys too. I... I'll never get to know how her hypotherical question turned out... I'll never be able to look at couplers the same way again. Not after her, so eager to learn about people, so willing to help others achieve happy relationships... She was stolen from the world way too soon." Jay was back to tears again, the elation he'd felt now long gone.

"Again… and again… and again… how long? Is this going to go on until only two of us remain? We started with 16, 17 with this Connie girl. We're nearly down to a third… Matchy was such a sweet girl. Why her? And why, of all people, did Cox get to graduate? Ughhhhh, we can't let this happen anymore. We can't just sit back and watch our friends drop like flies, wondering if we'll be next. I…"

She turned to Monokuma.

"As I said, we will stop you. I won't let this happen anymore. Mess with our bodies, mess with our minds, bring in new classmates to replace all ones, it doesn't matter; this must stop."

"...N-None of us are gonna kill...t-that's for sure."

With that positive attitude, Ryuji headed out of the courtroom.

"I never did get my bath..." he sighed, walking out to the hot springs for the night. "I should fix that..."

Jay sulked back to his room. He wanted to be alone once again, at least to get some rest. He'd been asleep many times that day, but it was not restful. The voices had nagged at him, torn into him, and tried to grab the heart right out of his chest. He finally arrived at his room, unlocked the door, and went inside. The door closed and he was once again back in his one place of respite.

"Sa... Sayako," Jay muttered quietly to himself, gripping the patch as if something would jump out of it if he didn't, "I told you that what someone feels should come before what you think. Well right now, I feel rotten. You... you always had such good advice, such interesting comments, but in the end... we couldn't save you from this place. I know you'd say you think we should carry on and remember the good times we had with you. And hey, I know I said I liked you, but I'm nobody special. I'm sure everyone else here liked you too. I feel like you were the most likable among us. When I get out of here, I'll do my best to remember what you taught me. I-I'm sure I'll find someone... who gets me." Jay closed his eyes, sighed, and returned the patch to his belt pack. He plopped down on his bed, still fully-dressed, and drifted off to sleep.

Ryuji groggily got out of bed, barely able to sleep from the night before, as he walked towards the cafeteria for the morning meal. Looking around him, he realized that the cafeteria that used to seem so full would now hold only 5 others.

"Hi," Jay greeted lazily as he entered the cafeteria and ordered his meal. Was there even any point to saying 'Good morning' anymore? He'd already lost two of the people he most cared about, so he was understandably demoralized. Turning to Ryuji, he asked, "You look tired... can I help you in any way?"

Flo sat by herself, as forlorn as ever. She saw Jay enter the room. Jay, caring about the deceased more than anyone, he was still living every day to its fullest. Flo needed to know how, and why. She grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.

"Jay…" she whispered. "Tell me, how are you able to remain so… what's the word, in a situation like this? Sakura tried to pull a Subaru on us, and Ryuji got Alchie killed. And with only six people now…"

Flo held onto Jay's shoulder for support.

"I want to stop Monokuma, I really do. And I'll do absolutely anything. It's just that, how can we fight him when we can't even trust each other now…"

"A-ah!" Jay gasped as he felt a hand grab his arm and pull him away from the counter as his meal was placed down in front of him, "Fl-Flo..." He pulled away long enough to grab his tray and place it on a nearby table. She was right--Jay was remaining oddly positive despite the events, and even he wasn't sure exactly why, but he'd try his best to explain, because that's what Wordsmiths do; they explain things.

"I... I'll be honest. This has hit me harder than you can imagine. But even more than now, we MUST trust each other. None of us have tried to kill. That should give you some comfort, right? Even Ryuji, being a part of Van's plan, was only going to give him an alibi. He wasn't going to do the dirty work himself.

Listen. My 'naivete' has gotten me through life thus far. I wouldn't be where I am today if I let how profoundly screwed-up the world is these days get to me. I don't... I don't want to die. I'm scared, Flo, but if I let it overwhelm me, I'll be stuck in my room until I starve to death or someone breaks down the door. So I just... believe. Believe that everyone's good, and if that ever comes back to bite me, at least I won't be here long to regret it."

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.
100% pure Joy.
Excellent source of puns.

Ryuji, overhearing the conversation, couldn't help but speak up.

"I-I'm sorry for betraying your trust, a-and Arthur's too..." Ryuji said to Flo. "T-that's the greatest regret I've ever had so far...because I had time to think about some stuff. Before this, I only lived for the sake of Tatsuya...I-I did everything for him, and he's still the most important thing in the world for me, but I remembered another promise I made him...t-that I'd make friends and care about other people...At this point, if you don't trust me, I can't change that, but..."

Ryuji buried his face in his hands, blushing. "B-But I love you guys very much!! Y-You're the first people w-who accepted me...s-so, please trust me again..."

"Th-thanks Jay," said Flo. She stepped away from him. "I guess it's like how smart people are always sadder than everyone else. They think of things from every angle, and most of them aren't happy. They keep thinking and thinking, and they get sadder and sadder."

Flo turned away from him. He was the man who had caught SiRReN, she knew he was no fool but…

"But… blind trust. I don't know if I can do it. I trust you though, I know you'll find a way through this. Even if I can't trust everyone, I can at least trust someone, someones."

She looked at Arthur and Matt.

"Despite my doubts, I should focus on the positive. The power of trust and teamwork can overcome Monokuma. I keep thinking in the box too much, that things must work according to the rules I see fit. But life doesn't work like that. Even when you think of every possibility, life can throw a curve ball at you. Nothing is for certain. But the one thing in this room that is, is your trust for others… as is mine. You are strong Jay, in your ability to keep on believing no matter how many times you get betrayed."

Flo looked at Ryuji and Sakura now. Jay was right, they may have screwed up but they weren't killers. They were still good people at heart.

"I… forgive you," she said to them.

She stood tall with renewed energy.

"Thanks Jay, I needed that."

She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek… almost. She stopped last second and pet him on the head instead.
