sayaka maizono's death
aftermath & explanation
On the second day, the cat announced the rules of the game, and gave the players the case of Vincent Noscent, a man who committed suicide in prison. The culprit turned out to singer Clara Reigns. After being told the 'real' Clara Reigns was among them, the players reviewed Sayaka Maizono's memories and voted her to blame. Sayaka Maizono was then devoured by a strange dark shadow.
The cat then went on to explain the truth of the game - that there are malevolent entities possessing a number of the people here. The possessed people don't know they are possessed, but are beyond saving. The only way for the cat to identify them is to have the players solve cases about their guilt and put the blame on them. The cat cannot let anyone go until the threat of the entities is over.

On the fourteenth day, the bodies of Shouhei Akagi and Satoshi Fukube were found, in a grisly hospital scene that looked like something out of a horror movie. It turned out, the case was about a group who all died due to the actions of some malevolent ghosts, and also due to the actions of people who had caused humans to be in that situation.
It was determined that the guilty party was the teenage Sadako, who had led the group to the haunted location in order to impress someone she loved. Sadoka was found to be Saenoki Naho. After some discussion, the group decided not to vote for Saenoki Naho. However, any demon inside her does not appear to have vanished.

On the seventeenth day, Ace's and Ellie's bodies were found in what appeared to be the aftermath of a fight between a fugitive and a cop. Kouha's body was found in a separate scene, horribly mutilated in a beautiful bedroom. The case centered around the murder of a reclusive noblelady, as well as the death of the boy suspected to be her killer.
It was discovered that the boy was covering for the true killer: Iphigenia Kindly, the victim's daughter who had snapped due to her mother constantly performing terrifying and painful rituals on her. Iphigenia's identity was determined to be Athena Cykes, who believed she had blocked out the memories of stabbing and murdering her own mother. However, after closely examining the memories in her cabinet and questioning her, the group managed to prove that Athena had been mistaken and that she had stabbed someone else that night.
Because of this, 'no one' was executed again, and the spirit within Athena seems to have vanished. The cat was in a better mood that evening and answered a few questions along with granting requests for additions to the building.

On the twentieth day, Serena's body was found in the bedchamber of a castle, brutally hacked apart by a sword. The case centered around the families of two medieval houses, and a conspiracy to murder the current lord and lady of one of the houses.
The group determined that the killer in the case was Iseult Medraut, who had been horrifically abused by her parents and went on a murderous rampage when her original plot to frame them for execution failed. The cat mentioned that though Iseult was directly responsible for their deaths, it wasn't where the blame in her heart was coming from. Instead, it was discovered that she loathed herself for not acting sooner.
Upon hearing this, Kaoru Nagumo came forward as the person representing Iseult. Though his memory of murdering his entire clan for abusing him caused a stir in some of the players, all of them banded together to try to save him. Their efforts turned out to not be in vain, as when 'no one' was executed, the spirit within him seemed to vanish.
