- - - DEBATE SCRUM START - - -

Yu Xuan: Sumana wanted to save everybody, so she killed herself first!

Rachel!

Rachel: Nothing would have happened if she didn't us, she would die either way.

Sophie: She could have faked all the evidence to make it seem like it was someone else...

Chloe!

Chloe: She couldn't have all the blood when she didn't have any huge wounds on her body...

Ashton: She could have gotten blood from the people she held hostage!

Randi!

Randi: Hanako and I don't have any wounds on our bodies, and we were the ones held ! It had to have been the killer's!

Yu Xuan: What if Sumana was working with the so called killer who was the traitor?

Hanako!

Hanako: As we stated earlier, if the was the killer, we wouldn't be having this trial!

Sophie: Sumana was pretty messed up, you know? What makes you think she didn't just kill herself for the sake of joining her friends?

Now I remember!

Ashlyn: On the day before her death, Sumana claimed that she had killed Hanako! She wouldn't do that if she had killed herself for that reason, because she would have no reason to make her wait.

This is our answer!

- - - BREAK - - -

Randi: Right... Sumana wouldn't wait for so long if she really wanted to off herself, would she?

Yu Xuan: Maybe she just wanted to mess with us?

Ashton: No, the Sumana we knew wouldn't do that. She wouldn't hurt any of us intentionally.

Sophie: But she did. She hurt me and Hanako, remember?

Chloe: But not on purpose.

Yu Xuan: We don't know that.

Randi: So what do we do now? We're back to square one.

Ashton: We need to go back and look at all the evidence.

Rachel: But we've done that, there's not much to prove anything.

Ashton: No. Ashlyn, Randi, you know what I'm talking about, right?

Chloe: Wait, Ash, earlier you said that Sumana claimed to have killed Hanako, what was that about?

Randi: That day when Ashton and Ashlyn brought me to the clinic, we saw Sumana.

Hanako: And? You're just telling us now?

Randi: I didn't think it was important.

Ashton: We'll go over whatever happened then. We need to talk about the earliest evidence before we talk about the new ones. Ashlyn, do you recall what happened that day?

Ashlyn: Well, we were at the clinic with Randi when Sumana showed up. She told us that Hanako was dead-

Hanako: Which is honestly not true. I think.

Ashlyn: Randi got mad but once she started yelling, Sumana touched her wristband screen and collapsed onto the floor.

Ashlyn: And then Randi collapsed right after that.

Ashton: Right, then me and Ashlyn hung out for a bit and that was basically it.

Rachel: So, what's up about this?

Ashton: Well, I feel like there's something missing, something that was supposed to happen, but didn't.

Randi: Well, what is it?

I can't quite put my finger on it, but at the same time, I think I know what step was missing in the process to...

1. Kidnap Hanako

2. Go to the dream world ✓

3. Kill Sumana

4. Catch the culprit

Ashlyn: That's it! - - - GOT IT - - -

Ashlyn: A step was missing when Sumana and Randi went to the dream world!

Chloe: What was missing? Didn't Sumana touch her wristband screen?

Ashlyn: Yes she did, but there's another criteria to go to the dream world.

Ashton: You need to say the person's name and their word on the wristband...

Yu Xuan: So if you need to do that, how did Sumana and Randi collapse?

Hanako: Randi, do you know? What happened before that?

Randi: I don't remember, I just fell asleep.

Ashlyn: Randi, what's your word?

Randi: I forgot. Our wristbands don't show anything anymore.

I checked my wristband. She was right, the screen was blank.

Chloe: Who here knows Sumana's word?

No one said anything.

Sophie: Well that's an obvious lie.

Yu Xuan: Do you know it, Sophie?

Sophie: It was 'Traitor'.

Ashton: Right. Before Sumana collapsed, i don't think she said that word, right Ash?

Ashlyn: No, she didn't.

Ashton: So this only leaves us with one solution. If Sumana didn't say the word, either Ashlyn or Randi did.

Ashlyn: Wait, how about you?? You could've said it.

Ashton: WELL I don't know the word, so...

Randi: Neither do I!

Ashlyn: I don't either.

Yu Xuan: I think it's Randi.

Chloe: What? Why?

Yu Xuan: Sus.

Rachel: This is getting us no where.

Ashton: Did we miss anything out? AnythiAng that happened in the dream world?

Ashlyn: Like that time I got locked out of Sumana's room not by Sumana?

Ashton: The... WHAT?

Hanako: Wait... Yea! Ash was locked out of Sumana's room and it wasn't Sumana who did it, so there must've been someone working with her!

Ashton: And like you guys didn't tell everyone else the truth?

Yu Xuan: Yea.

Sophie: Rude.

Chloe: I mean we don't tell Sophie anything. At this point I question how she's not dead yet.

Hanako: Wait, but doesn't this mean we can narrow the suspects down?

Randi: What?

Hanako: It couldn't have been me, Yu Xuan, Chloe, Rachel or Ashlyn right?

Yu Xuan: So now we know that it's Randi.

Randi: WHAT? NO THAT'S STUPID WHAT?

There was a moment's silence as Ashton thought for a moment.

Ashton: Yea, it's Randi. Honestly it's obvious at this point.

Rachel: That was easier than usual.

Yu Xuan: Told you she was sus.

Chloe: God I wish Alyssa was still here so we could do an unnecessary forth wall break.

Rachel: What forth wall?

Randi: No it's not me! It CAN'T BE ME! I HATE MURDER-

Chloe: IT'S SO OBVIOUS THAT IT'S YOU NOW! JUST DEAL WITH IT AND TELL US HOW YOU DID IT.

Randi: FINE OKAY? I KILLED SUMANA AND MADE IT LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE OKAY? WE CAN ALL MOVE ALONG NOW.

Hanako: But why? Why would you do that?

Randi: I was told to. Monokuma told me if I killed someone then he would let me go. And at the same time he would tell me where... Where she was.

Chloe: She? Is this some other secret person like in Tan Liang's case?

Randi: No, this time I can tell you who she is. Why she is the reason I did what I did.

Yu Xuan: So you're the traitor?

Randi: I never wanted this to happen. I can't keep this up anymore.

Hanako: Well, you still killed a person, so this doesn't make up for much.

Chloe: You were so upset about the fact that there was going to be a murder, are you sure it's you? Are you covering up for someone?

Randi: No. I killed her. I won't deny it any longer.

Monokuma: Puhuhuhuhu! Good job Randi! You've fucked up big time being the traitor, but you've still managed to keep things interesting! Now, It's punishment ti-

Randi: Look Monokuma, I might have been played into your little despair drama show's plot, but I knew what I was getting into. I didn't do all this for the entertainment of you and the sick fucks in Team Danganronpa who watched this go down, I did it for my own personal gain. And even though I'm the killer, let me make one thing clear to all of you, the only one guilty in this case is Sumana.

Ashton: What do you mean? What did she do?

Randi: She-

Sophie: WAIT.

Randi: Huh?

Sophie: Don't you see, Randi? You can't explain this now!

Randi: Why not?

Sophie: You have been a failure at giving Team Danganronpa what they want, a big mystery! A long trial! A climactic reveal! You have failed every single one of these. The least you can do is let them guess your motive now, come on, it'll be fun!

Randi: I don't see why I have to do that-

Sophie: You talk like I'm giving you a choice, that's so funny, you're such a great actor. Monokuma, you're chill with this idea, yes? We spoon fed them the murder plan, so we'll let them figure out the motive.

Monokuma: Wonderful idea Sophie, puhuhuhuhu! I don't see a problem with it!

Randi: Wait- This isn't how I wanted it to-

Sophie: Great. Then before we carry on, let's have Ashlyn summarise the underdeveloped murder, shall we?

Randi: Hold on- I'll just say it. Sumana-

Before Randi could say one more word, she could hear something fall from above, and then witnessed a long metal claw reach down and clamp around her waist. She tried to move, but the claws dig into her skin, drawing blood and causing her to yelp in pain.

Yu Xuan: Stop! It's obviously hurting her!

Sophie: Just a little something I programmed. If you say anything, I'll have the claw squeeze your intestines out. Oh! In fact, let's make this fun too! Everytime you say something, I'll just tighten the grip! And if you reveal everything, I'll just have it kill you. Okay? Okay.

Randi: Why are you- Doing this to me?

Sophie: Because! The "sicks fucks" need content, and you weren't giving it. So, Ashlyn, you know what to do.

Ashlyn: I- Should I really be-

Sophie: There's more than one claw.

Ashlyn: Oh no yea okay okay I'll do it. I'll show you what really happened.

(Hey guys I'm sorry I was away for so long I didn't have much motivation to write, plus I couldn't get the murder to work, so I thought of this solution and uh enjoy!!!)
