Click here to watch this update's video.: What, the difference between the cases? You want me to explain it again!?
: When I want to kill, I use my very own special scissors! And I use those same scissors to arrange the body!
: But...Chihiro was suspended with... It was some kind of rope, was it not?
: That's right! It absolutely was!
: Then there must be something very fishy indeed about that rope...!
: Hey, Byakuya! Where'd you get it from, huh?
: I'd never seen that rope before in my life... Obviously somebody else must have had it hidden away somewhere.
The proof that Byakuya did it is hidden within the rope...? I guess it's possible. But first... The item she had been bound with was used *like* rope...but was it actually a rope?
: We saw this before. The 'rope' actually had a plug on it! And we know where it came from too.
> Shoot 'I'd never seen that rope' with 'Library Desk Lamp'
: Actually, I'm pretty sure you *have* seen it before. Because you see, that rope--or should I say...
: ...that extension cord?
: What!? An extension cord!?
: Byakuya--you've used the extension cord in the library more than once, haven't you? And the same extension cord that was in the library all this time...
: ...went missing after the murder!
: And there's no way someone who uses that extension cord as much as you do wouldn't discover that fact!
: Then Byakuya must be the one who took the extension cord! I can't imagine any other possibility!
: ... That's really what you think? Then your conclusion is something like this...? I killed Chihiro in the girls locker room, then hung her up and wrote that bloody message. I intentionally made it look like Genocide Jack was behind it.
: Is that about right?
... He's doing it again... He's totally calm, totally unconcerned. As if he's not even involved. Wait...not even involved...?
: What's wrong? I asked you if you think that's what happened.
: Hell yes that's what happened! So that's it, right? Byakuya's the killer!
: I don't disagree with not disagreeing!
: He kept calling this a game, right? So he'd be totally willing to do something like this to 'win'!
: ...
: Um, sorry but could we hold on just a second? I...I think we need to talk about this a little more.
: Huh? Do we really need to? We've already decided who did it.
: I know, but still... There's something that's still bothering me...
: Is that right? And what, pray tell, is still bothering you? I killed her in the girls locker room, then disguised my crime. Specifically, I dressed it up to make it look like it was the work of a homicidal psychopath. What about all that 'bothers' you?
Wait... What was that just now? Something's not right... Byakuya's remarks just now... There's something in there that concerns me.
> The scene of the crime
: You say you killed Chihiro in the girls locker room, right? But are you sure about that? Isn't it possible that the murder took place somewhere else?
: How disappointing... What kind of question is that? Even in the world of disappointments, this is a true letdown.
: She was found dead in the girls locker room. There is absolutely no question about that. How could the scene of the crime have been anywhere else?
: Well...I think it's entirely possible that she was killed somewhere else, then carried there later along with the rest of the murder scene!
: The...rest of the murder scene? ...
: That was awfully specific. Please tell me you have a reason for saying all of that.
: I believe I do...
Hey, Byakuya...did you just...? Did I just take you off-guard? When the story suddenly moved to the crime scene, Byakuya, who'd been so confident up till now... Maybe Byakuya never even realized that the actual scene of the crime could have been somewhere else.
: Hey, don't just move on without permission! What do you mean she was killed somewhere else!?
: Come on, Makoto! If there's any chance the murder took place somewhere else, let's see the proof!
Evidence that shows the murder took place somewhere else... I need to just focus on those things that got switched!
: Didn't it seem odd that the posters in each locker room seemed to match what you'd expect to find in the other locker room?
> Present 'Two Locker Room Posters'
: The proof that she was killed somewhere else is...the poster that's hanging in each locker room.
: Your proof...is some posters?
: The poster in the girls locker room was a picture of a big-boobed supermodel. But don't you think that's kind of strange? Why would the girls locker room have a poster like that?
: I bet those massive jugs of hers were totally fake! Kyeehahaha!
: Meanwhile, the boys locker room had a poster of the super popular boy band Tornado. Again, that doesn't really seem to belong in a boys locker room.
: So you're saying that maybe the posters were switched?
: And there's one other thing I noticed about the locker rooms... You know what I'm talking about, right Sakura?
: You're referring to my protein coffee, aren't you?
: ...Protein coffee?
: While I was in the girls locker room earlier, I spilled some protein coffee on the carpet. But I noticed that after the murder, the stain had been totally scrubbed away.
No. It's not that the stain was scrubbed away... It was moved...
: We found a brown stained carpet in the boys locker room.
> Present 'Boys Locker Room Carpet'
: The stain on the girls locker room carpet wasn't scrubbed away. In fact, I found it on the boys locker room carpet.
: That's...definitely the stain from my protein coffee!
: Then...does that mean that the carpets were switched, too? But...why would anyone do that?
: To move the murder scene from one locker room to the other. It's certainly plausible, don't you think?
: What!?
: In other words, in order to completely swap the scene of the crime the bloodstained poster and carpet were moved along with the dead body.
: By doing this, the killer was able to change the entire room where the murder took place.
: I can certainly follow your reasoning, but...why would the culprit bother doing that?
: Huh?
: Why would they go through all that trouble of switching the scene of the crime? Actually, an even bigger question... If the murder did take place in the boys locker room then how did Chihiro get in the boys locker room in the first place?
: Ah--!
: To get into the locker rooms, you have to swipe you e-Handbook across the card reader device. But Chihiro's handbook should have only allowed her access to the girls locker room.
: She had no way to get into the boys locker room to begin with.
: No, she DID have a way! And I can tell you what it was!
: I highly doubt that.
: Shut up! I'm telling you, I know how she could have done it!
Is he right...? Could Chihiro really have gotten into the boys locker room somehow?
: Is it really possible? Could Chihiro really have gotten into the boys locker room somehow?
: Ah! I've got it!
: She must have hacked her e-Handbook! She was the Ultimate Programmer, after all. I'm sure that would've been no problem for her!
: No, I don't think that's it... She used the thing that was in the main hall!
: Huh? What thing?
: I'm talkin' about Leon's handbook, of course! If she had that, she could get into the boys locker room no problem!
Theoretically, if Chihiro was able to use Leon's handbook, she could get into the boys locker room. But that's *if* she was able to use it.
: We checked the handbooks and we couldn't get Leon's to turn on. Sayaka's and Junko's were working though.
> Shoot 'Leon's handbook' with 'Broken e-Handbook'
: No, I don't think Chihiro used Leon's handbook.
: Why not!?
: Because Leon's handbook was broken.
: Oh! Well then yeah, I guess that'd be pretty impossible, huh?
: I am struck silent by how quickly you gave up...
: Plus, isn't there a regulation against using someone else's handbook?
: Actually, the rule states that loaning your handbook is prohibited. It says nothing about borrowing one. In other words, you could borrow a dead person's handbook all you want, and you'd be safe.
: Yup yup yup! Hit the nail square on the noggin!
: Of course, if it were broken, that wouldn't make any sense anyway...
: So then, she must have hacker hers like I said! She used her Ultimate Programmer skills and--!
: Bzzt! You can't fix an e-Handbook. The instant you open one up, a security buzzer starts blaring!
: So if she didn't use Leon's handbook, and she didn't modify her own handbook...
: ...Maybe Mr. Naegi's initial assumptionis just...wrong?
: It seems like there's no way she coulda got into the boys locker room, so I guess so...
: Okay then, I vote for Byakuya!
: ...
Is that it, then? Chihiro was killed in the girls locker room, and Byakuya's the one who did it? Really? But still...I don't know what else I can do...
: ...Hold on a second. I agree with you, though. I think you're on the right track.
: What the--? You finally decide to open your mouth, and *that's* what you've got to say? There's no way she could get in the boys locker room, right!? So--!
: Why are you so sure she couldn't get in? There still one other way she could have gained access.
: ...What!?
: What are you talking about!? What other way is there!?
: Well, to explain that, why don't we take a little break from the trial? I'd like you all to come see something.
: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait! Just what do you think you're doing!?
: Don't worry. This'll make the whole trial more exciting. I'm sure that thought must please you?
: Huh? It'll make things more exciting?
: Well alright then! I declare an official class trial recess!
: Huh? For real?
: Now then, what is it you wanna show us? It better not be boring, or I'll be VERY unhappy...!
: Oh, I have no doubt it'll meet your lofty expectations. So, shall we go?
Part 12: Chapter 1 Daily Life, Part 6
: Before we begin Free Time, we need to get some things. Remember this machine from a previous update? Well the time has finally come to talk about presents.
: Presents are used in conjunction with Free Time. Each person has presents that they like, love and hate. There are something around 100 presents that you can give out and a few more that are related to progression through the game's chapters and postgame stuff. There isn't really a good way to figure out what presents someone will or won't like because while you can make some good educated guesses based on each present's description and what you know of everyone's characters, occasionally there will be a few things you think they might love/hate that they actually think the opposite of. If you give a present they love, you only need to give them that one present. If it's just something they find acceptable, you may need to give them a second one.
: The presents themselves come from this machine in the school store called the MonoMono Machine. This is also where the Monocoins we've been picking up are used.
: So here's how the machine works. You put in at least one coin and push X to get a present.
: It's very simple. However, as you get more presents, the Repeat % number will go up, telling you the chance of getting a repeat present. You can make this number go down by using more coins but I've found it to not usually be worth it to use too many. As long as you have a wide enough variety of presents, you're sure to have something that a person will love. Not only that, but you receive lots of coins at the end of each chapter, meaning that the next time you come here you could have an easy 50+ spins. You can also give someone the same present twice and there's no downside. It's really not hard to have presents the people you want to spend Free Time with will love.
: Also, you will randomly get a free bonus spin. This spin does take into account the Repeat %.
: I spent all the coins I had since having a variety of presents in Chapter 1 is difficult due to the low number of coins available at this point in the game. You can see that our presents list is beginning to fill up.
: Now that we have presents, we can begin Free Time in earnest.
: As mentioned, the game requires you to visit with Sayaka for the first Free Time, so let's see how she's doing.
I guess I should press the doorbell...
*Ding dong*
: You know, Makoto... I'm so anxious. I really am afraid...
> Spend some time with Sayaka
: Are you going to...try and cheer me up?
: Sorry for making you take time out of your day like this...
I did my best to comfort Sayaka. Sayaka and I grew a little closer today.
> Yes, definitely
Cherry Blossom Bouquet: A collection of branches from a sakura tree. In the language of flowers, cherry blossoms represent 'a woman of superior beauty.'
: To receive something so wonderful makes me happy, but...
: ...to get it from you, Makoto... I can't begin to describe the feeling...!
Seeing Sayaka so pleased with something I gave her makes me happy!
: Umm, Makoto? Do you think you could make time for the two of us to talk?
: Wh-What's wrong? Why are you being so formal?
: W-Well, it's just... I guess that was kind of formal, but... it's just because I know I can count on you.
: ...Huh?
: Having you by my side really makes me feel a lot better.
: If you weren't here with me, I just don't know what I'd do. I'd be lost...
: I hate that we had to meet again under such awful conditions, but...I'm relieved you're with me.
: Sayaka...
Standing here face to face and hearing her say that... It's nice, but...kind of embarrassing at the same time.
: I...know how you feel. You being here is what saved me...
: R-Really? Ehehe. Thank you for the flattery.
That smile... That mysterious smile that softens my heart... I really wasn't flattering her. That smile saved me.
: But it's kind of strange, you know? I never thought I'd get a chance to really talk to you like this. All through middle school, you never talked to me. In fact, you never even looked at me.
: It's because you were like a celebrity. I couldn't just go around staring at you... Wait, how do you know I never looked at you?
: Because I looked at you all the time...
: ...Huh?
: I was always looking for an opportunity to talk to you.
: You...wanted to talk to me?
: But since I always had so many people around me, we ended up graduating without saying a word. That was one of my biggest regrets.
: But why me?
: Do you remember during our first year of junior high, that huge bird wandered into the school pond?
Actually, now that I think about it...I do sorta remember something like that...
: It was like something out of a fairy tale. The turtle one every million years, that bird once every thousand...
A huge bird wandered into the school pond during our first year of junior high... I think it might have been...
> Crane
: It was a crane! It just walked right into the pond.
: That's right! That's what it was. It was so big, the teacher had no idea what to do.
: But you led it into the forest behind the school. You helped it find its way out.
Well, only cuz I was already in charge of taking care of the animals at school. They made me do it...
: I should have said thank you then, but...is it okay if I do it now?
: Thank me...?
: I'm that crane, you see. I've come to return the favor. Here, let me make you a cloak...
: The closest reference I could find to cranes and cloaks were legends of Swan Maidens that come from various cultures, including Japan. They typically have to do with a man stealing a cloak of feathers from a swan maiden so she cannot fly away, then marries her. She bears his children, then at some point gets her cloak back and flies away.
: Ehehe. Just kidding!
: Y-Yeah, I kinda figured...
: Honestly though, I was so impressed... That's why I always wanted to talk to you, even just once.
: I never imagined this would be how I got my chance...
Yeah. If we'd met again at a train station somewhere downtown, that'd make for a nice dramatic reunion. But instead it's this weird school.
: Maybe, but still... I'm sure you'll help me find my way out, just like that crane. You'll save me.
: It's just intuition, I know, but I still believe it.
I'm going to save her...?
: I'll do my best, I promise that. I'll make sure it's more than intuition. If there's anything I can do, I'm going to do it...!
: I believe in you. Besides, my intuition always turns out to be right.
: Cuz I'm psychic.
: Ehehe. Kidding, kidding!
She laughed out loud as she said it. The closer we get, the stronger that smile of hers makes me. ...I was glad to feel that way.
: Sayaka's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with her. You just unlocked the skill Melodious Voice! Give yourself a pat on the back. You've earned it!
Once we were all done, I headed back to my room for a little while...
♪ No Music. ♪
*Ding dong, bing bong*
: Mm, ahem, this is a school announcement. It is now 10 p.m. As such, it is officially nighttime. Soon the doors to the dining hall will be locked, and entry at that point is strictly prohibited. Okay then...sweet dreams, everyone! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...
Today's already come to an end. But I swear...tomorrow I'm going to find some kind of clue! I swear!
As my eyelids began to slide closed...the conversation I'd had with Sayaka that morning began to replay. In a way, it's almost frustrating... Even if I understand where her desperation is coming from, I can't share in it. The pressure she's under is way different from anything a normal high school like me goes through. She didn't just stumble into this school the way I did. So I can't say I feel things the way she does. Compared to her...no, compared to everyone else here...there's no doubt I just don't match up. I guess that might explain my own frustration...
: Ahem, so...I'm sure that you've noticed the killing game has begun, but... there's still room for a little laughter. It seems our newest students, already so filled with despair, still have some hope of escape! Puhuhu... So when will it begin? When will their hope begin to die? Is it time yet? Is it time!? Heartpounding excitement!
*Ding dong, bing bong*
: Good morning, everyone! It is now 7 a.m. and nighttime is officially over! Time to rise and shine! Get ready to greet another beee-yutiful day!
Morning has come. What should I do today?
: We have another 2 Free Times today. Because we only have a few presents, our choice for who to visit with is a little more limited than it will be in future chapters, but I decided to visit with Leon and Byakuya. We have gifts they both love and they also have skills that will help us more than Sayaka's skill will right now. Convenient!
: We can find Leon in the halls of the Dormitory.
: What're you doing, Makoto!? We gotta hurry up and find a way outta here!
> Spend some time with Leon
: Y-You're not trying to get me alone so you can kill me, are you...?
: My fans will all go psycho on you if you do! I'm as popular as any international superstar!
: But if you're NOT gonna murder me, then let's hang out. I don't really wanna be alone, anyway...
I spent some time with Leon... Leon and I grew a little closer today.
Project Zombie: A mature game designed for the Funplane, where a former runway model takes zombies as slaves in a post-apocalyptic world. It's been out of print for a while...
: Are you shitting me? I can have this!?
: This is cool. Super cool! I feel like maybe I do't even hafta get outta here anymore!
: Hah! Yeah, right! I still totally hafta get outta here.
Seeing Leon so pleased with something I gave him makes me happy!
: I'm not even afraid anymore. Now I'm just pissed off...
: Why!? Why is this happening to me!? This isn't fair, man! I mean, am I wrong?
: Oh, um... Yeah, it really isn't.
: Right!? Totally unfair. Ultra unfair! Just like having to shave my head right before every baseball game!
: Well, I mean...you chose to do that, right?
: C'mon, man! Are *you* against me now, too!? I didn't even wanna play! But the coach and all the teachers begged me, so I did it! And then they made me shave my head, just cuz it's 'tradition.' How's that fair!?
: You really hate baseball that much, huh...?
: Damn straight I do! Who has fun running around on a dusty field for three hours!?
But...for baseball players, the field is like sacred ground, isn't it?
: But it's so not cool! Spending all that time at practice, getting covered in sweat and dirt...
: It's just baseball, right? It's easy! Who needs practice!?
I think the gods picked the wrong person to bless with that much talent...
: Still...I gotta admit, baseball wasn't all bad. It did have a few things going for it...
: Yeah, right? Like the feeling of camaraderie between you and your teammates!
: Nah, nothin' like that! I can't stand being around a bunch of sweaty guys. So totally uncool!
: Then...what did you like about it?
: Well, I hate studying, right? But I still got into this super fancy school on a sports scholarship. As long as I kept playing, I never had to study! And besides that...
: It made me super popular with the ladies! Booya! Ya jealous? I got to third base in more ways than one, if ya know what I'm sayin'! ...Just kidding!
: ...
: Heh-heh. I got plenty more where that came from! I'll tell ya more about it next time. Anyway, let's hang out again sometime! Talking to you helps me keep my mind off this place... *leaves*
With a smile on his face and a spring in his step, Leon strolled away. I'm not really sure why, but I guess Leon likes hanging out with me...
: Leon's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with him. You just unlocked the skill Robot Jock! Give yourself a pat on the back. You've earned it!
Once we were all done, I headed back to my room for a little while...
There's still lots of time left in the day. I really don't feel like just sitting here. Maybe I'll take a look around...
: For the next Free Time, we can find Byakuya in the dining hall.
: So the only way to get out of here is to kill someone. Interesting...
> Spend some time with Byakuya
: ...
I spent some time with Byakuya in silence... Byakuya and I grew a little closer today.

: Now this is a rare moment. Coming from a noble family, I've never been exposed to such vulgarity. Interesting. I think I'll keep it.
Seeing Byakuya so pleased with something I gave him makes me happy!
: ...I have a question for you.
: Huh? You do?
: Something's been bothering me for a while now, and I can't take it anymore. So to answer my question...
: I need you to explain to me what exactly your 'Ultimate Lucky Student' title means.
: Oh, well... I don't totally get it myself, but...what I do know is that I was picked at random from a pool of normal students.
: So you just got into Hope's Peak by blind luck.
: I see. Well that answers my question.
: What was the question...?
: How a commoner like you, with absolutely no unique talents or abilities, could get into this school.
: Oh, I forgot to mention boring. How a boring, untalented, utterly generic commoner got in...
Boring? Generic?
: D-Did you really have to list all that off?
: But it's the truth.
: Maybe compared to you, the Ultimate Affluent Progeny and all... But even I--!
: You seem to think it's merely an issue of title. But make no mistake... My lineage, intelligence, figure, athletic ability--they are all ultimate.
: Which is to say, I am the Ultimate Perfection

. Feel free to begin calling me that, in fact.He's really taking this to the extreme...
: You, who have nothing. I, who have everything. We are living proof that all men are *not* created equal. You have my pity, Makoto. Life can be very cruel indeed.
: ...
: And because I pity you so much, perhaps someday I'll allow you to hear my tale of glory. Consider it a blessing, a gift from me to you, to allow you to bask in my glory. *leaves*
Having finished his mean-spirited lecture, Byakuya left me standing there in silence.
: I learned one thing about Byakuya today... Anytime I talk to him, I need to be prepared for extreme psychological trauma.
: Byakuya's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with him. You just unlocked the skill Cool and Composed! Give yourself a pat on the back. You've earned it!
I did my best to keep my spirit from shattering like glass, and went back to my room.

: Mm, ahem, this is a school announcement. It is now 10 p.m. As such, it is officially

nighttime. Soon the doors to the dining hall will be locked, and entry at that point is strictly prohibited. Okay then...sweet dreams, everyone! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...The third day here has already come to an end. When will I--no, we... When are we gonna get out of here? I laid on my bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. And before I knew it, I'd fallen into an uneasy sleep.
