Chapter 7 is the defining chapter of the game because it determines what truths will be uncovered in the game. There are 3 endings - True Ending, Good Ending, and Bad Ending. The true ending reveals the truth about the "bully" and Alice, the good ending just reveals the truth about Alice, and the bad ending wrongly accused the "bully" as the murderer.
I love that there is cross examination in this chapter. Yay!
We'll start with the bad ending since it's the shortest.
Chapter 7: The Execution of the Bully
Bad Ending
From Chapter 6, somehow the school knows that Queen of Hearts is the bully and requests for a trial for her bullying. The chapter starts in the gymnasium where Queen of Hearts is put on trial.
Alice comes out of nowhere to save Queen of Hearts, saying that the bullying has nothing to do with the murder. Alice becomes defendant for Queen of Hearts again. The third spiritual judge begins.
Mad Hatter asks Queen of Hearts why she bullied White Rabbit, but she refuses to give an answer. Alice then gave a conjecture that
- Queen of Heart and White Rabbit
- White Rabbit had something on Queen of Hearts
- Evidence that White Rabbit had something on Queen of Hearts
- Present White Rabbit's Phone
Apparently White Rabbit got Queen of Hearts to meet her at the audio visual room. While Queen of Hearts denied it, Alice managed to get Queen of Hearts to say why she agreed to go. Queen of Hearts said she went at 18:00 and saw White Rabbit's body.
- Is there a contradiction in the testimony?
- Yes
- The thing (that) puzzles you is
- The discover time
- The proof that Queen of Hearts' statement contradicts
- Present Death Presumption Time
So there was a 20 min gap between time discovered and time presumed. Queen of Hearts was made to explain this gap. She shared that she went to tell Mr Caterpillar about the body as all her friends had already gone home.
- The statement of Queen of Hearts
- That is not contradictory
- The action we don't normally take is
- Present Map of School
Queen of Hearts says that she went to the staff office before looking for Mr Caterpillar but Alice knows it's not true because he was punishing some people.
- The person Queen of Hearts had met was
- Present Twiddle Twins
Queen of Hearts still refuses to say anything. Alice presents bloody gloves and
- The proof that these gloves have something to do with the crime scene
- Present Crime Scene Research Report
Alice shows that Queen of Hearts did not wear gloves into the room but wore them out. This part is where the determining factor for Bad Ending is.
- The reason to wear the gloves when out of the school house?
- Wearing the gloves to grasp the knife.
Queen of Hearts will then be deemed as the murderer and the trial ends.
B A D E N D
Good Ending
Let's go back to the last question
- The reason to wear the gloves when out of the school house?
- Looking for something
Alice shared that White Rabbit told Queen of Hearts that she would "delete all of them here". She knows some one who can prove it.
- The witness is
- Present Twiddle Twins
So the truth is out. Twiddle Twins saw Queen of Hearts trying to find something in White Rabbit's bag. So White Rabbit has something on Queen of Hearts and has been threatening Queen of Hearts. When Queen of Hearts did what White Rabbit told her to do, White Rabbit agreed to "delete all of them" in the audio visual room. However, when Queen of Hearts went, she saw White Rabbit already dead. Instead of going to look for help, she took the time to wear the gloves and look for White Rabbit's phone to destroy the evidence (or the thing that White Rabbit held Queen of Hearts hostage for). Mad Hatter asks Alice if she knew what the secret was. This part is determinant of the Good Ending and True Ending.
- The secret hidden by Queen of Hearts
- I have no idea
The case is closed.
The secret of Queen of Hearts remains unknown and Spiritual Judge for <the bully execution> adjourned. The case has been solved, and Queen of Hearts is no longer the suspect. But what is this feeling? It is as if there is a hole in my heart...
Alice then meets Queen of Hearts in the gymnasium and Queen of Hearts shared that White Rabbit told her to bully White Rabbit in front of the class. Alice then has a dream about giving White Rabbit gloves before she falls into slumber. When she wakes, Mr Caterpillar shared that he was going to accompany Queen of Hearts for her interview. Alice learns that Mr Caterpillar's real name is Mr Ishimoto, and Queen of Hearts is Ms Maki Aakai.
G O O D E N D
Good Ending
Let's go back to the last question (again)
- The secret hidden by Queen of Hearts
- I have a rough idea
- The thing Queen of Hearts tried to hide
- Present Mr Caterpillar
Alice guessed that Queen of Hearts could have gone to Staff Office and told Twiddle Twins about White Rabbit. However, she went to Student Guidance Room instead of Staff Office first, as though she knew Mr Caterpillar would be there. So, before Alice could say everything, Queen of Hearts hinted that she and Mr Caterpillar were in a relationship. The case is closed.
With a shocking end, Spiritual Judge for the tumultuous <the bully execution> has come to a close. I have solved the riddle and helped Queen of Hearts to get rid of the suspect. Well, can you call it help... Did I take myself as a hero but hurt people instead? But the case is solved now, this should be the good ending.......... But what is this feeling? It is as if there is a hole in my heart..........
Alice then meets Queen of Hearts in the gymnasium and Queen of Hearts shared that she was relieved that Alice told the truth. Though Mr Caterpillar and her could not remain in the school, she was thankful that she did not have to lie anymore. Queen of Hearts shared her story that her grandmother used her father's death to make her mother follow her grandmother's every command. As such, Queen of Hearts decided that she was going to resist unfairness and not follow what people say. However, her mother thought that her efforts will one day prevail and her grandmother would recognise her. If Queen of Hearts went against her grandmother, her grandmother would vent on her mother, who will then punish her. Because of this, she lacked trust in her mother and in people in general. When she first went to school, she was bullied by seniors because she did not wish to follow the hierarchy. She retaliated and was sent to the Student Guidance Room, where she met Mr Caterpillar who understood her. Queen of Hearts did confess to Mr Caterpillar but he did not accept her gesture. She said, "We are not dating but we do have some connections in private." Queen of Hearts then shared that White Rabbit told her to bully White Rabbit in front of the class.
Similar to the good ending, Alice then has a dream about giving White Rabbit gloves before she falls into slumber. When she wakes, she saw Mr Caterpillar and she apologised to him for sharing his secret. Mr Caterpillar admitted that it was his fault and was ready to face the consequences. Mad Hatter then comes to pick Mr Caterpillar up for his and Queen of Hearts' interview. Alice learns that Mr Caterpillar's real name is Mr Ishimoto, and Queen of Hearts is Ms Maki Aakai.
