Final Chapter 3 Deadly Life Thoughts Before I Move On To What Is Going To Be A Very Sad Trial
I don't know how to fix this, but this is setting up to be a very good case with one somewhat major flaw: the culprit was made obvious by what I had to investigate. Meaning, it wasn't the clues themselves that tipped me off, but the fact that Chiaki went to the conference room, erected a giant glowing sign that said "THIS IS IMPORTANT", and then sort of winked at me kind of gave me too much info as to what was going on. I always love going into the actual trials surprised, but I haven't had that yet here. Going to the conference room just wasn't subtle, but then again I guess I don't quite know how it could be.

And, hey, what the hell Mikan? I thought we were bed buddies? WAS THIS ALL A RUSE TO GET ME TO LIKE YOU?!?! She is so far off from the kind of character you think would commit a murder it almost feels incongruous with the character that's been established. When someone like Celeste snaps and kills two people, yeah, of course, duh. Your guys' fault for not noticing it earlier tbqh. But Mikan? WHY MIKAN?

I am holding out hope that I'm wrong though. Like I know it should be Mikan based on the conference room, but maybe I am misinterpreting something. I see so many good story reasons for why it should be Fuyuhiko. He volunteered himself to stay at the hospital when he didn't need to and then seemed annoyed when Monokuma had that "one guardian" limit enacted. I would love for that whole "sorry guys" thing to be a clever ruse and an excuse to get himself in the hospital by himself for some time. And, I'm still not certain how they got the covering around Hiyoko down. If it was Fuyuhiko, he couldn't been hiding in the building in wait. If it was Mikan, she would literally have had to sprint behind me as I went over there, not be seen by anyone, tear it down, sprint back to the hospital, and she is going to risk being caught at any step of that plan.

(Please be Fuyuhiko is what I'm getting at here, game. You took HIyoko and Ibuki. The least you could do is take Fuyuhiko on the way out.)

I did like the complexity of this case. It was the first one where I felt like things weren't very obvious from the start and there were a lot of times I'd get a clue and just sort of stare at it like "what the hell am I supposed to do with this?"

Something strange is going on this chapter and I don't know what. But both of the very helpful characters, Chiaki and Nagito, were clear that THIS IS DIFFERENT and PERSONAL and PAY ATTENTION THERE ARE IMPORTANT STORY RAMIFICATIONS TO COME. I kinda wanted to marathon through the trial but I was super tired so I'm going to start tonight.

Also, was Chiaki mad at Hajime because he was sleeping with Mikan? Hajime says several times something along the lines of "Chiaki is acting strangely and is mad at me" but I had no clue why. This is just a guess as I don't know what else she'd be grumpy at me about.
