He spent all his free time hanging out with people. He has no more time left to put furniture on the door.

Look at his frame, then look at all the pushing and pulling he'll have to do every time he wants to block his door. That's murder on the lower back.

Maybe it opens outwards, so he can't jam it from the inside. Monobear thinks ahead.

I've never seen an inwardly opening front door in my life, and I hope they're not a thing anywhere. It could be outright dangerous in a fire.

Also makes it harder for swat teams to bash it in!

This. It is probably a cultural thing, but here in Germany I have never seen or heard of an outwardly opening front door.

I am kind of torn. The key/locked door plot was used in the first murder of DR1, so it is kind of unlikely to be used again. On the other hand, why destroy the lock if it will not be part of the plot later?

Red herring?

I doubt the game would kill off its protagonist halfway through, but if Hinata dies in his room, the lock would immediately be suspected as a factor even if it actually wasn't.

An outward-opening front door is a much more mundane danger to visitors. Or, if your front door is close to a path or corridor, pedestrians.

Regardless of whether Hinata's door opens either way, there's probably no way to effectively barricade it against the various muscleheads we have in the group who can just break it down (Nidai, Akane, Gundamahahahahaha).

What's interesting is that the lightning bolts always seem to have the same shape -- they split and bend around the same way, regardless of what pose he's in. The one exception that I noticed came in the first school trial:

If I could find a way to put my own soul into a computer, that would surely create a true “strong AI”...
Those kind of manly, EXTREME characters that often pop up in shonen manga use cheesy effects like lightning and their shoulders 'bristling' to show how intense they are, but generally only for one panel or so. His entire appearance is a parody of that; I'm thinking specifically Fist of the North Star which is known for being ridiculously over the top in that regard. His appreciating of the gift he received about '708 pathways' in the human body could possibly be a reference to that too. (FotNS features a martial art style that makes use of targeting these 'pathways' to kill or heal). (Or I could be looking too deeply into it)

Mioda actually admitted to being responsible for breaking the lock without even being directly accused.

Red herrings are certainly DR's bread and butter, but if it isn't it means that Mioda will be either murdered, the next murderer, or falsely accused of being the next murderer. That or it has some random meaning to the case and is only associated with Mioda by coincidence. That too wouldn't surprise me at this point with DR's general approach at the story telling. I guess we'll just have to see.

Hinata's lock being broken is too specific a detail and too obviously applicable to a murder mystery scenario for it to have absolutely no relevance. I wouldn't count on Mioda necessarily factoring into the case, though; she certainly could, but the fact that the lock is broken may be the only thing that matters rather than the way it was broken in the first place.

Basically this. I think if the game was trying to go for a funny joke, it coulda gone something like "Monobear let me in! Don't worry, Ibuki promised she wouldn't murder Hajime-chan!"

Ready for anything, I cautiously opened the door...



Re: Junk Food for a Dashing Youth

Nice to have met you!



Get it? Ibuki used the perfect tense to describe an event thats already taken place!
Mioda... What is it this time...?



Let Ibuki deeply apologise for this surprise visit...



Ibuki's vewwy vewwy sowwy!
Well, I guess I should be thankful you didnt just break in... again.



Jeez, you sure can hold a grudge, Hajime-chan! Ibuki's ears are burning... her joints, too!

...No, that's probably just gout.

...So? What do you want?



Um... Ibuki has special invitations for everyone! ...For some reason!
...Invitations?



Heres yours!



Wow... whats with this handwriting? Looks like someones trying a bit too hard...

Um... "A welcome back party for Kuzuryuu, tonight at 9:00, at the Titty Typhoon"?
What the hell? Is Monobear up to something again?



That's rude! Ibuki's nothing like Monobear!
...So you're up to something?



W...Well... how should Ibuki put it... S...She's not really sure...
Ibuki's just here... to deliver this invitation. That's all...

Yep. It's all her.

Well, Ibuki still has lots of preparations to make! See you around!



Music fades out

Definitely all her.



The Titty Typhoon... That's the music club on the third island, right?

Wait, 9 o'clock...? That's in half an hour!

Still... a welcome back party for Kuzuryuu? Is this... really a good time for that...?
The guy stabbed himself in the stomach this morning... Will he even be able to attend?


Hmm... at least her hearts in the right place. Maybe I should at least show up...

Party time! (Again)



Beautiful Ruin





Komaeda... Did Mioda invite you too?



Yep. It was a great honor. But, see, since this party is for Kuzuryuu-kun's return...



...I think it would be very impudent of me to go in ahead of everyone else.



So don't worry about me, Hinata-kun. Go on ahead.

...I wasn't planning on worrying.





Hmhmhm... The constellations are aligned, and the banquet set to begin...



Fwahahaha! All is in readiness!



Let this ceremony of darkness begin!

On second thoughts, Ill just leave him be.



There were already several people inside the club when I entered, including...



K...Kuzuryuu?! You're here?!



Why? Do you hate me that much?
That's not what I meant... Is it okay for you to move about?



...Yeah. It was nothing.



I...It wasn't nothing! No one should have that many wounds!



Besides... I was invited to a party. I couldn't just refuse.



I understand perfectly how you feel, but... in your situation, you mustnt overexert yourself!



It's not that bad, really...



Fine. Do as you please.



B...But...



Just let him be. After all, the yakuza value endurance.



............

Its funny... Before, he wouldnt be seen dead at a party, no matter how many people invited him...

But now... even in his wounded state, he made an effort to come...

I guess he's doing his best to change... in his own way.




Saionji-san isn't coming, though, right?



...So it seems.



Owari-san isn't here either.



Mu. What is that shrew up to? I just hope its not something reckless...

Suddenly...



Music fades out

* flash *



...Oh, my!

The stage lights flared on, and a figure walked into view...



Beautiful Days [Piano Arrange]

Thanks for coming this evening! The name's Ibuki Mioda!
You know? Ibuki can make really good nikujaga.
Ha ha, homelier than you expected, huh? Ibuki gets that a lot.

Nikujaga is a staple Japanese winter dish of stewed meat and potatoes. It's one of those dishes you're more likely to find in homes rather than in a restaurant. It's easy to make and really good, so go look up a recipe!

Tonight, Ibuki's going to sing her heart out to lift everyone's spirits! Time to get excited, everyone!

So that's what this was all about...

I guess this was inevitable. If you give a Super High-school Level Light Music Club Member an actual music club, theres only so many possible outcomes.


Let's get straight to the first song!
Here we go -- "Let My Feelings Reach You Too!"

They say her girl band was poised to take the world by storm...

...This might actually not be bad!




Let My Feelings Reach You Too

Observant readers may have noticed the game letting us skip Ibuki's performance by pushing the triangle button. We are not doing that. No, the proper way to enjoy this LP is to click the music link above and listen to it from start to finish while looking at the screen image before scrolling down and continuing reading. Here -- I'll even provide a handy gap to prevent accidental scrolling.






























I listened twice!



Thank you, thank you!



Re: Junk Food for a Dashing Youth

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
WE'RE BEING CURSED!!



W...What foul sorcery...! The Four Dark Gods of Destruction can endure no more!



I...I feel a chill, too...!



I thought it was going to be a soothing love song! It's called "Let My Feelings Reach You Too"!
U...Um... What was the reason Mioda broke up with her band...?



It was... "creative differences"... wasnt it?

That explains so much.



Music stops

Yaaaaay! That was amazing! I've never heard such a great song in my life!
S...Saionji?!



Beautiful Ruin

Ah, you came after all?



I...Is that so strange...? I was invited, wasnt I...?



But... this is Kuzuryuu-san's welcome back party... So, if you're here...
Does that mean you've...?



............



D...Don't be stupid... It's not like I can forgive him that easily...



He's yakuza, isn't he? Deceiving and exploiting peoples just what his lot does.
It's so obvious his regrets are fake. He's just trying to deceive us!



...That can't be true.



But it's natural she'd think that way...



Yep, it's natural. So remember, we don't trust you.
Do you get it? This is not a reconciliation. I'm just going to work with you while we're stuck on this island.



...What?



Just keep in mind... when worst comes to worst, you're the first one we're throwing to the wolves.



............



I can accept that...



Uyuu... Thank god... Oh, thank god...



Don't you dare cry! Pigs like you have no right to! It's gross!

Looks like its not just Kuzuryuu who's trying to change...

She is too.

Just a short while ago, she would never have forgiven Kuzuryuu, even in the strange way she did just now.




Hey, what are you looking at?
N...Nothing...



Somehow... I feel I can see hints of a brighter future. Even if only faintly...
But... that just makes our biggest problem even more worrying.

Monobear.

When he sees us like this... what will he do? Somehow, I dont think hed just leave us alone...




So, how long are we going to keep being gloomy?! Were here to party, arent we?!



C'mon, big sis Mioda! I want another song!



Roger! Let's move straight on to the second song!
...What? There's more?
Since this turned into a real welcome back party, Ibuki has a special ballad for this special occasion...
Here we go, our next song: "I Had Fun Giving Birth But I Don't Know Who the Father Is"!



E - N - O - U - G - H!!



Miss Monomi's Practice Lesson

W...Wait! What are you doing, everyone?!
Whoa! Monomi!



Hey, don't interfere! We were having such a nice party until you showed up!



A party...? But no one invited me...



Kyahahaha! Of course not! Why would we just ruin the party like that?



Sniff... Ive been wejected...



...Wait! Now's not the time for that!
This is not the time for partying!
D...Did something happen?



I...It's Owari-san... Owari-san just...



Owari-san just challenged Monobear to a duel!

Kanazuchi nigitte konkonkon             A hammer in my hand, and bang bang bang
Zamaa miro to konkonkon                 Serves you right! Bang bang bang
Kon kon kon                             Bang. Bang. Bang.
Chimoji de kaita kon'intodoke           I signed our marriage registration with letters of blood
Konya posuto ni iremashita              And put it in your mailbox tonight.
Ano yo de kyoshiki wo okonaimashou      Let's have the ceremony in that other world
Okonaimashou okonaimashou               Let's have it. Let's have it.
Todoke todoke kono omoi                 Let my feelings reach.
Kimi ni mo todoke kono omoi             Let my feelings reach you too.
For some context on those deep lyrics, read this article. In fact, read it anyway. It's fascinating stuff.

Your tireless amateur localization editor has gone above and beyond the call of duty and attempted to, er, localize the song so it maintains something that kinda resembles a rhyming scheme and meter and everything.

Disclaimer: I am so, totally, utterly out of my depth here.

Second Disclaimer: This version replaces most of Ibukis 1/16ths with 1/12ths.

The letter I sent you expressing my rage,
confessing my love on the back of the page,
has disappeared, never to reach your hands.
In the hour of the Ox, at a shinboku tree,
a doll with your face looks up at me,
and laughs, and laughs, and laughs.

I hold a spike firmly in the middle of the chest,
I draw back the hammer and bang bang bang,
You bought this on yourself. Bang bang bang.
Bang! Bang! Bang!

Our marriage is sealed, the vows have been planned,
theyre written in blood and delivered by hand,
the ceremony to be held in that other world.
In that other world. In that other world.
Let my feelings reach,
Let my feelings reach you too.
