Trial 1 - Part 5
If the irons in the storage room caused the blackout...
Then for the killer to turn the irons on...
You're saying they went all the way to the storage room?
Then that means everyone who was in the dining hall...
...when the blackout occurred can't be a suspect!
No, just because people were in the dining hall...
...doesn’t mean they’re not a suspect!
The people who were in the hall could still have caused the blackout!
But the people in the dining hall weren't able to cause the blackout!
If the irons caused the blackout...
...then the killer had to go to the storage room before that...
...and turn on the irons!
Now do you intend to take back what you said!?
The irons did cause the power outage, but they weren’t the direct trigger for it...
The direct trigger was the air conditioners in the hall and the office turning on!
A-AIR CONDITIONERRRRRRRRRRRRRS!?
Both air conditioners were set to turn on at 11:30...
11:30 p.m... Mr. Ham Hands died around that time, too!
I see... When the timers activated the air conditioners, the breaker was tripped and caused a blackout.
I see! I understand! Indubitably!
...Indubitably!?
They probably checked the old building's energy usage in advance, and used the irons to nearly max it out.
So once they set the air conditioners' timers, they just had to wait until they started up on their own...
If so, even if Peko was in the office, it still would have been possible to cause a blackout. Indubitably!
"Indubitably"? Miss Sonia, not you too!?
Regarding the energy usage... They probably asked Monokuma about it.
Dun-dun-dunnn!
Is she right!? Such a hateful bear... You deserve to die a thousand deaths...!
A thousand, you say? If I died that many times... I might really stay dead, you know...
C-Can you two shut up!?
I couldn't have prevented the blackout even if I was in the office. But even so, I feel regret...
If I was in the office, I could've reset the breaker in time... And maybe the murder wouldn't have occurred...
No, the breaker in the office was built into a high area of the wall that's impossible to reach...
Resetting the breaker in that darkness would've been impossible, no matter what.
...Sounds like you don't need to blame yourself.
Even so, the killer is so sly... I'm starting to worry we may never actually find them.
It's all right. You don't have to worry.
Because...they're just a petty killer, right? They can't defeat symbols of hope like you guys!
There's no way everybody will lose now. This little incident will just be a stepping stone for you all.
In the end, hope always wins! That's what I believe!
N-Nagito, I don’t think now’s the right time...
Huh? What’s wrong?
...What’s wrong?
Well... I guess you’ve put me on the spot.
For a while now you’ve been saying the culprit couldn’t possibly be one of us...
I hate the thought too, but... I’ve come to accept it. Why can’t you?
I said that? Oh well. More importantly, let’s go back to discussing the incident.
For now...we found out how the blackout occurred, but the question is *who* caused it, right?
Anybody could've hid and set the timers for the air conditioners...
Setting up the irons in the storage room could've been done before Byakuya set foot in the old building...
What a shame. Any one of us is capable of that.
...What are you implying?
He's just saying...after all this time, we still haven't made any progress!
Huh? Even though we have been arguing for so long?
Unfortunately, it's the truth... Despite the fact that we've discussed this at length, there's not even one clue that leads to the killer...
But that might be because...there's no way any of us could be a killer.
S-Seriously, cut that out...
Anyway... I have an idea about what we all should do at this point.
Has anyone thought about our situation like this...?
Instead of surviving by doubting others, isn't it better to get killed for believing in others?
D-Doesn't that mean...? Are you saying we should all just give up and die!?
What's the alternative? To keep suspecting each other like this? That’s not healthy behavior!
We should stop this already! We don't have to find out who the killer is!
I can't stand this anymore! I don't want to do this to my friends!
I... I don't want to do this either...
M-Me too! Please... Take me home already!
Waaaaaaah! I wanna go home and eat candy!
S-Stop it, all of you! If everyone acts like this, I’m gonna...!
We're all friends...aren't we? There's no way one friend would murder another...
That’s... what I want to believe, too.
But if we want to know for sure, we need to find out why Byakuya died.
Who cares why he died...? Let's just give up already...
There are no clues that lead to the killer anyway... Not a single one...
What’s happened to you? Why are you suddenly telling people to give up?
Was everything you said before... Was that just-!?
Hey Nagito, can you shut up for a second?
...
...Did you say something?
You’ve got it wrong. There *is* a clue that can lead us to the killer!
