"Uh huh... and he died in the library" I mumbled in response

"Rantaro was alone in the library."

"What was he even doin' in the library anyway?"

      "Cuz he knew about the hidden door!"

   "Rantaro was masterminding this whole thing!"

But I thought- "Wait a minute! I don't think Rantaro was the mastermind!" Of course, as always Kaede beat me to a conclusion. What a woman! Kaede explained to the very confused Kaito that because Rantaro had no key card, there was no way for him to access the room being the hidden room. Sure, I guess..?

"Perhaps the culprit took the key card after killing Rantaro?" Keebo suggested. We all came to conclusion that Rantaro was indeed not the mastermind... cuz this stupid game is still happening, duh.

Then, the possibility of the mastermind and the culprit came up. Honesty, this whole thing was becoming a lot to keep up with and it all just started. Kiyo stated that could have been possible that the mastermind knew about our trap, therefore this was a "perfect crime" according to him. In the end, it seemed that we were getting nowhere.

"We gotta work together to find the mastermind! Then we can end this killing game!" Kaede shouted, trying to keep us motivated after hitting what felt like a dead end. It's hard to believe she has such perseverance even now.

"You yap about teamwork and all that, but you still think one of us is the mastermind..." Kokichi rudely said with the most smug smirk on his face. Ha, say that five times fast. I looked over to Kaede to see how she'd react, she had been chastised by him before. "Yes, and I know that's a horrible thought... but that's why all the terrible things happening to us!" She cried.

"I'll defeat the mastermind and end this dumb killing game! I'll.. I'll even use this class trial to do that!" Kaede pointed at no one in particular. I felt that she meant all she said. Her words almost empowered me to try and do something, but I was so lost.. and numb. Nothing here felt like it was actually happening. I felt like a character in a video game, and if I did die I'd just respawn.

"Nee-heehee..." There he goes... "Wow, looks like you're determined to face even a cold, hard truth. Well, here it comes-- the cold, hard truth!" All now 16 of us stared at Kokichi, waiting to see if he was going to say pure bullshit or actually something useful. I really hoped that this time, it was something useful.

"I already figured out who killed Rantaro," he plainly said. Okay.. so somewhere in between what I was originally thinking. How could he possibly know before Kaede, Shuichi, or even me? He wasn't even there! Monokuma even seemed to be shocked by this "fact" though both of them could be lying.

"Kokichi! Are you serious about knowing who the culprit is?" Kaito questioned the pathological liar. I whipped my head in Kokichi's direction. It looked like he was thinking whether or not he should answer yes. What else could I have expected?

" Yup! Soooo...we all agree that the culprit knew about Kaede and Shuichi's trap, right"

"No shit! That's why they're not in any of the pictures! So who is it!?"

"So whoever knew about the hidden cameras is the culprit." Kokichi finally concluded. He ended up saying that Miu was the culprit because she made the cameras, but as smart as she is I don't think she'd be smart enough to kill Ranatro so perfectly. Perfectly? Who am I becoming??

Suddenly, everyone was attacking Miu. I didn't believe for a second that she killed Rantaro. The wimp she's showing right now could almost be enough proof for that, but then again I never expected anyone here to kill in general. If someone didn't stop this fuckery, we'd all die.
