Taking Responsibility.

[kingmakereffect]

And a while after that strange, dark floor is accessed, after you've had time to look things over and get some idea of what's happening...well. There won't be any sort of official announcement to tell you to get downstairs, nor will there be a personal invitation for you to do so. Instead, the doors at the end of the corridor (were they there before? You find that you don't remember. It doesn't matter anymore, though-) slide open, as they always do, and the elevator ride to the courtroom is probably the first familiar thing that's happened all day. It's smooth and quick, though it seems to take a bit longer than it usually does. And when the doors open at the end of the line, the courtroom looks different. The dark, weirdly cylindrical room is largely the same in and of itself, but the usual twenty-seven podium circle is gone; instead, there's a smaller setup in the center of the room - ten podiums total, and you'll likely find the way your spots have been distributed to be very familiar indeed. Of further notice is the balcony - there's a structure that wasn't there before in view of the courtroom, situated high above, barred-in by a railing that'd probably be at about waist-height on your average person; there's no one up there just yet, however. There are so few of you now. It seems that today there are no speeches to give; maybe the Kingmaker is absent, maybe he just doesn' have anything to say. Either way, however, the implication in the fact that you're here at all is clear. For one last time, make the guilty take responsibility.

Did Visionary kill him?

[kingmakereffect]

Yes.

...I'm really sorry to hear that.

[And Mouri does mean it. Kingmaker or not, it must have been a terrible experience.

Once again Mouri talks to everyone else]

Visionary killed Pers...Silver, and Silver was Pretentious's best friend. Either the Pretentious knew Silver from before or Pretentious and Silver were in the same round. Pines-san, Bruce-san, Knight-san, did any of you see anything else worthwhile in the files you found? Like...anything setting apart profiles from the rest other than Reticent's?

I'll say that Silver and our Kingmaker here were only made friends by circumstance, or so he's told me. So I'm guessing they didn't know each other before.

It was mostly just the folders and items, at least in this case. There was nothing really special that set them all apart - just the fact that those three were set aside from the others.
