Chapter 4 Deadly Life Deadly Thoughts Deadly Musings
Ok so first off Nekomarus body is in terrible shape. Hes leaking some sort of blue Kool-Aid that is probably blueberry flavored. He has a huge dent in his head which is also completely removed from his body. His foot has fallen off. Also the dude just sort of looks sad. Poor Nekomaru.
Im trying to think who had the sort of strength to pull this off. Akane? I feel like thats almost too obvious now. But who else could do this much damage to a robot?
Akane is sobbing and holding on to Nekomarus detached head. Poor Akane. Now who will do IT to you?
Ok I think Im removing Akane from the suspect pool. She seems way too dumb to pull off whatever this was, and she also doesnt seem manipulative enough to have a break down scene here just to throw us off the track.
Also this is all very sad but please put the head down. That is evidence and youre getting it all wet and covered with tears.
STRANGE THINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY CLUES ARE HAPPENING. After we all have post-murder snacks, we notice the guys arent here. Fuyuhiko, Gundham, and Kazuichi are all missing. HMMM. Monokuma scolds us all for missing tai chi. Hey man I was here in time, dont you put that evil on me.
ALSO Akane hears a noise. Sonia asks if it is Nekomaru and Akane tells her to stop being stupid. Akane. Tells someone to stop being stupid. Sonia get yourself a Snickers. Youre not you when youre hungry.
We just start investigating without the guys. SLACKERS. Also I hope there isnt another body or two or three waiting for us later in this investigation
Nekomaru has detachable limbs like one of those cool toys I always wanted while I was growing up. He suffered some HUGE IMPACT and his arms and legs flew off by themselves. Hm ok. Think we can eliminate the hammer as the cause of death unless MECHA-GALLIGER snuck in at some point.
Oh duh there isn't even a blood stain on the hammer. That is the laziest fake murder weapon plant of all time, murderer.
Interestingthe door in the back to Strawberry Hall has a comically large chain on it. So it seems pretty unlikely anyone came from that way. Hajime asks why anyone would need to chain that up. Great question! Especially when the tower wouldnt open from the other side with people in it.
Sonia makes sure to point out that time of death isnt reported in the Monokuma file, and Hajime points out that it wasn't in the last case either because time of death was important to the mystery of the case and MAYBE it is important this time too. Yeah uh huh sure maybe wink wink.
You know, thinking back to like two minutes ago, something I didnt make note of was Monokuma said something along the lines of jeez cant believe everyone missed my class and Hajiime was like everyone that is weird we were here on time RIGHT? before winking at the camera. So I bet you someone did mess with the clocks for some reason that Im not sure of yet.
Sonia also cracks the case that Strawberry Tower and Grape Tower are the same tower. Yeah great job Sonia, we solved this like four days ago.
Chiaki points out there are small rock like fragments under Nekomarus body, but absolutely none on top of his body. Which means...he was killed in a gravel quarry? Or something. I dont know please halp me.
Chiaki is like well if you dont know what they mean theyre probably not important and then the literal next line is Pillar Fragments have been added to the Truth Bullets. Ok Chiaki theyre important.
Akane is actually more useful than Sonia and reminds Hajime of the weird noise that woke us up in the middle of the night. She even managed to run out and check the time on the clock, which said it was 5:30 AM. This is the most useful Akane has been all game so hooray Akane!
Oh hey Nekomarus blood is on top of the pillar. That isinteresting. Akane does her second useful thing and proves you cant lift it up. Could it be pushed over though? Maybe Nekomaru got squished by the pillar and that was that loud noise that woke up Akane? CASE CLOSED BOYS.
Haha we inspect the giant hammer and Sonia is like where did this come from and Hajime is like why is it so clean and then the game adds it as new looking hammer to my truth bullets. Might as well just call it definitely not the murder weapon" hammer.
Seriously though this is lazy planting by the murderer. There is a huge blood stain on the pillar but nothing on the hammer. Like, come on. COME ONE MURDERER.
Oh wait...if this was a suicide then why is there a fake murder weapon here? Nekomaru didn't want to make things too easy for us?
This is actually so suspiciously obviously not the murder weapon that Im thinking it has to be some sort of trap, right? If there is a killer, why would they leave the clean hammer and not attempt to wipe off the pillar? Hm hm hm.
Now that I think about it, robots are definitely unusual Hajime says, eying a Roomba and whispering to it to tell him what its mission is. Robots arent so unusual, man. It is your friends personality being crammed into a robot that dispenses soft serve ice cream that is weird.
Oh another interesting thing. The wire that is used to tie up Nekomaru is tied into a loop at the end. Soooo.was he hung from this? The loop is kind of small, but Im trying to think if there was some way he was tied to the pillar and he pulled it over on top of himself.
So...still suicide? Maybe? I keep going back to that weird, seemingly pointless robot lecture Sonia went into not once but twice during daily life. Sonia went into this huge long speech earlier about the three laws of robotics being something like you cant hurt humans you must obey humans as long as it doesnt conflict with the first law and you must protect yourself as long as it doesnt conflict with the first two laws. So I think we got a law three thing going into effect here where he could hurt himself because technically if he wasnt he was harming humans. Thatd be pretty cool!
but then why this weird set up and the planted hammer and why not some sort of note left behind to let us know what he did? Unless Monokuma stole it. I vaguely remember either him or Hina taking Ogres note last game right?
OH SNAP there is an Ogre statue here. I totally didn't think of the connection for some reason! I bet that was supposed to be a clue as to what would happen this case.
I just Googled and Ogres real name was Sakura. I thought it was but for a second there I couldn't remember if it was Sakura or Sayaka because I always get those two names swapped. Sorry Ogre.
Oh duh the goodnight button on the back of Nekomarus neck. That might be what the killer pressed to get the jump on Nekomaru. Well, if there is a killer and were not looking at another suicide situation.
Chiaki points out that like none of this stuff was anywhere in the house, so the killer mustve gotten it from the final dead room. Well yeah duh I hope Hajime recognized this by now. That giant conspicuous hammer was definitely not something we saw before.
I definitely dont think it was Akane with how sad shes being and how she refuses to leave Nekomarus side. But then who the hell was strong enough to do this sort of damage? Even tipping over the pillar would require a lot of strength, I'd think. Like only her and Nekomaru have any sort of upper body strength here.
