Akane is part dog and hears the phone ringing from downstairs. We run up to get it and Fuyuhiko explains that the elevator is broken and the button to Strawberry tower is also broke. So now we know the killer is for sure a luddite so that should narrow things down some.
We cant find Nekomaru anywhere. Do you know anything? Uh uh hold on I think Chiaki wanted to talk to you *hands phone to Chiaki and runs away crying*
We now have to wait and rely on Kazuichi to fix the elevator for us. Hajime then thinks if he doesnt stand out now, when the hell will he, right? Well now were going to have to wait for another body discovering announcement because Kazuichi just got MURDERED.
Fuyuhiko suggests the killer broke these things to interfere with the investigation and Chiaki looks upwards with a so Im assuming that isnt entirely accurate.
Things now switch toNagitos perspective?!?! I suddenly have the urge to yell incoherently about hope and take my pants off.
Ok so this fully eliminates Nagito from consideration because he is thinking in his head if he should help the killer or the rest of the people here. So that shrinks the suspect pool a little more.
The guys all get together and rehash everything they know from the lead up to the murder. Nothing really interesting, although for some reason Nagito didnt hear the huge rumbling noise or the really loud alarm ringing in the lounge. Either this is some sort of clue or Nagito is also the Ultimate Sound Sleeper.
Apparently Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, and Gundham all heard the ringing. Fuyuhiko was the first one there because he just happened to be by the lounge. At 5:30. In the morning. While he has no energy and is starving to death. Ok cool man Im sure youll elaborate on that later, MURDERER.
Nagito points out the suspicious person in all of thisIS HIM. AHA! GOT ME! TAKE ME AWAY, BOYS.
Fuyuhiko admits he saw Nekomaru wander off from the lounge at 5 AM. Seems like a bold move to admit to be the last person to see Nekomaru alive if he was the killer.
Oh wait. If Fuyuhiko was in the lounge at 5 AM, didnt see anyone come or go until 530 AM when he heard the alarm, I think that clears Gundham and Kazuichi, right?
Oh wait the game just said the three of them have alibis. That probably means one of these three is definitely the killer and they definitely do NOT have alibis.
Kazuichi says the elevator was disabled on the other side by messing with the little safety panel. Who has the expertise and know-how to mess with something like this? HM HM HEY KAZUICHI IM WATCHING YOU.
Ok so someone (Nekomaru) took the elevator to the other side and then disabled the elevator over there. This is more evidence for my suicide theory, right? Like maybe Nekomaru broke the button to strawberry tower and then sabotaged the elevator on the grape side and then killed himself so the rest of us could leave. That would totally be in his character, and it explains why Fuyuhiko saw him wandering off by himself.
Gundham: I can think of only one reason why the killer barred the door to Strawberry Hallthey wished to prevent me from going to the crime scene. Which means the killer was afraid! Afraid of the conclusion promised by my assumptions! Yeah somehow I dont think the killer was intimidated by your ability to yell non-sequiturs about hamsters, man.
Ok so they broke the elevator to go to the other side, chained the door from Strawberry Hall shut, and ripped out the button operating the door. I dont know why, but something about all this seems weird. Like its too much.
Nagito goes to explore the Final Dead Room. Hey guys 999 called and it wants its aesthetic back.
Oh cool a mini-escape room. It is fairly basic, but I did like the puzzles overall (particularly figuring out the key code the second time).
The prize for winning is a gun! Now I know what it feels like to win a raffle in Alabama.
Time for Russian Roulette! Nagito decides he is so super lucky he can do this with five bullets and one blank. Hey man that isnt how luck works and youre going to oh never mind hes fine.
For winning Russian Roulette on the highest (a.k.a. dumbest) difficulty, Monokuma hands over information on the Future Foundation and our school notebook with all of our student profiles. Im hoping Nagitos is just a picture of his face with the caption this dude is nuts.
Monokuma is then like oh how INTERSTING you were the one to find it TEE HEE things are about to get INTERESTING tee hee hee. Hey seriously man just out with it already. The secrets are killing me!
Nagito looks out the window and discovers the ULTIMATE WEAPON and secret of the fun house. Either the fun house is set up in some way we didnt expect or Nagito just saw Godzilla.
Nagito looks at the student files and is all ! I can only assume this will go very badly for everyone involved.
Hajime, can you hear me? Chiaki shouts at me as perspective swaps back. Yeah, uh, sorry, I was just channeling Nagito there for the last 45 minutes.
Yeah, youre right Chiaki, I should probably call Fuyuhiko and see whats going on and AHHH NAGITO!
Hes literally just standing here now. Did no one see him sneak in? Im guessing this means that hatch is some sort of secret passageway connecting the two houses. Which once again puts suspicion on the dudes that were stuck in Strawberry House. Besides Nagito of course, who is clearly innocent because otherwise Monokuma wouldve asked what the hell he was doing in the final dead room again.
Nagito points out how all the cases from the first game are somewhat mirrored by this game. HEY! HES STEALING MY THEORY! I said this like three cases ago you HACK. Nagito casually mentions how the fourth murder in that game was actually a suicide. I said that too like two hour ago, man, and I didnt need Monokumas cheat sheet to get it.
