While she's crossing the bridge, the man cuts the ropes, which sends her swinging through the air and slamming against the side of a cliff. She desperately tries to climb up, her arms and legs getting cut by the splintered wood, but [[HopeSpot as soon as she reaches the top is thrown down...then grabbed by flying Monokumas...who bury her up to her head in a pile of clay]].

She answers them correctly, but doing so harms her in some way related to the friend, such as being shot with a crossbow (Maki) or burned with a spell (Himiko). The last room is Kokichi's; refusing to choose either "a liar" or "a corpse" as her answer, she picks "a friend", which Monokuma deems incorrect. The floor drops out beneath her and the landing breaks one or more bones. She is faced with a final monitor, which asks her whether she is a traitor, a murderer, or dead. She refuses to pick, and slowly all options change to "dead'. A group of Monokumas fall through the door and land on top of her, an unending rain of blunt force trauma that reduces her body to almost pulp.]]

* {{Flanderization}}:
** Discussed and PlayedForLaughs in one of the [[spoiler:post-game]] bonus stories. [[spoiler:Apparently, Tsumugi has been making Kokichi worse in each installment of her killing games as a petty form of revenge.]]
** [[spoiler:Also applies InUniverse. When Tsumugi forced everyone into the virtual reality, she programmed exaggerations of their real-life traits into their avatars, ie ramping up Kokichi and Maki's distrust of others, Himiko's sleepiness, Angie's preaching, etc.]]

In actuality, he stuffs excess fabric inside the noose to give himself enough room to breath, while she keeps people away from his "body" under the pretense of grief. After the group reluctantly votes her as the killer and her execution, Kokichi strolls into the courtroom, directs a DeathGlare to Monokuma, and declares that Monokuma is now guilty of murder.
