Summary
Makoto overhears that Sakura had been forced to become Monokuma'smole as he took her family hostage. As Makoto feels he should not jump to conclusions until he has talked to Sakura, Kyouko becomes annoyed with him for keeping secrets from her. After exploring the fourth floor, containing some locked rooms that Monokuma forbids breaking into, the girls catch up with Alter Ego, who reports that Hope's Peak Academy was shut down due to a certain incident, also theorising that the school's true principal is the one pulling the strings. He also discovers another strange photo, this time of Sayaka, Celestia and Hifumi together. Afterwards, Monokuma announces to everyone that Sakura is the mole, hoping to bring about another murder. As Aoi becomes angered with the mean words said about Sakura, she ends up getting into a scrape with Genocider, leaving Sakura angered that innocent people got involved. Meanwhile, Alter Ego asks Makoto and Kyouko, who forgives Makoto for staying quiet about Sakura, to take him to somewhere where he can connect to the school network so he can find a way to help the students escape. Despite knowing the risks involved, Makoto and Kyouko decide to respect his wishes and set him up in the hidden room from before. Later, Makoto, Kyouko and Aoi discover Sakura in the rec room, which has been locked from the inside, and break inside, only to discover she is dead. As Kyouko conducts her investigation, Aoi shows her anger towards Byakuya, Touko, and Yasuhiro, feeling one of them is responsible for Sakura's death.
