After an eventful conversation, u/KumaMrParkerLover made an entire chapter for chapter 2, credit to him because most of what is going to be said came from him. Dude popped off yesterday.

So basically after Haruhiko was outted as the blackened, the next day Tsurugi holds a meeting basically exiling Mitch from the group for being a potential killer. A fight breaks out amongst the group as others admit that they would rather stake out on their own instead of stay tethered to Tsurugi's system, Mitch, Kiyoka, Kizuna, Kinji, and Rei all leave the room as the meeting continues

Later that day, Yuki eavesdrops on Kiyoka arguing with Mitch about ... something? But Yuki is only able to hear half of the conversation, from what they can tell, Kiyoka seems to forgive Mitch for attempted murder, but that doesn't mean she's going to let her guard down around him and she is going to be watching him for as long as she can. The two of them are seen later doing training runs with Ayame.

Later in the day, the next motive is revealed, secrets. the important ones being

Kanata Inori: This person is responsible for bringing you all here(Secretly Yamato Kisaragi’s secret)

Kakeru Yamaguchi: This person is a traitor for the group(Kinji Uehara’s secret)

Kiyoka Maki: This person is allied with Akane Taira, AKA: the mastermind!(Secretly Yuki Maeda’s secret)

The day goes by, and they all agree to not open the envelopes containing their classmate's secrets. However, some are just too curious for their own good, including are about to be killer.

3 days go by without any action, until one day, Yuki hears the buzzer go off as Monokuma announces ... "A body has been discovered" When finally coming across the body himself ... Mikako Kurokwa, had been killed, her body lying lifelessly in the gym, the most likely cause of death being strangulation. The culprit making a locked room mystery out of their crime.

Said crime falls to pieces in the trial, when Yuki finally manages to piece together that Mikako wasn't strangled, the markings around her neck were done to the body post death. She was actually poisoned, but not just immediately, no gradually. The only person who could have the knowledge and access to continuously poison Mikako without suspicion is none other than the ultimate Surgeon, Kanata Inori.

When the closing argument finishes and the votes are tallied, Kanata doesn't crash out or go into a monologue, she just silently cries and sobs like the vulnerable child she is. She didn't want to kill her friend, but with the secret she got, she got, she thought she could have had the potential to kill the second mastermind, thinking that if they were gone, Akane wouldn't have a reason to keep this stupid game going. She cries and just repeatedly says she is sorry to everyone, but some people just don't want to see her die.

During the post trial, Yamato breaks out of his grief and the side effects as he screams that he didn't want his sister to die like this. This causes him to cough up more blood.

Kakeru is fighting for Kanata like his life depends on her innocence, trying to use his talent to find any way Kanata could be considered to be innocent in this whole ordeal, he has a sickly sister back home, and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if she just died here. Kanata tries to comfort him, saying that he needs to live for his siblings as punishment time begins.

Kanata is dragged away and executed as the number of students begins to dwindle more.

What should happen for chapter 3?

In the altered scenario the following things happen

Mitch gets absolutely demolished by Tsurugi because in this scenario, the nameplates aren't switched and Tsurugi detains Mitch, restraining him and telling the group what happened last night. The irony is that Kiyoka is the one to let Mitch know how much of a piece of shit he was for disturbing the peace>! (look into my eyes)!<

A few days pass, and we see the group slowly begin to grow more on edge after Mitch's attempted murder, Nothing seems to happen until one morning, Yuki and a few others see Mikako outside the dining hall, when asking what she was doing she simply responds with "take a look." Inside the dining hall, Teruya Otori The Ultimate Merchant had been struck down.

After a long and confusing trial with people all having pretty tight alibis, Haruhiko is singled out as the only one mixing up his story constantly, when putting all the facts together, it could only be the ultimate pilot who was capable of such a crime. When pressed on the subject, he said that Teruya was planning his own murder and the pilot accidentally walked in on the set up for it, resulting in a fight that left one of them dead and the other dreading the thought of being found out. He is dragged away to execution that I poorly photoshopped the concept of.

Chapter 1 comes to a close
14/16 students remain

As I said before this chapter is a mixing of different ideas from yesterday, I think a lot of ideas really melded together quite well.

So now the question is, what should transpire in chapter 2?

We've settled on the cause of the shift

Akane is revealed to be the ultimate despair during the prologue rather than late game, but in return Yamato gets to be with the cast the whole game, Ayame will still be a part of the game similar to the mastermind in SDRA2

So now the question is

What events will take place in chapter 1 now that these events have been set in place?

Not just a victim and killer, feel free to give input on new character beats as well. I think I'll be going a lot more in depth with the chapters moving forward, going from daily life to deadly life

For the sake of an experiment, let's say there is a 2x2-esk addition Linuj adds to the first game where one different event in the story spirals everything out of whack resulting in an entirely different chain of events than the first game, resulting in different victims, killers, and survivors.

What would that event be?

The answer will be chosen by a mixture of the most interesting concept to me personally and also the number of upvotes.

I aim to make this a daily thing for the sake of as much engagement on the topic as possible, this went to a funny discussion with my friends to an actual question on what the community would think.

I'm so sick of trying to grind money in casual lobbies only for my opponent to just dip in the red and kill themselves by jumping off the world. It's genuinely not fun anymore
