The next morning, the remaining eleven residents piece together the events of the previous night and all except Sonoyama provide alibis. A debate ensues about whether the murder happened before or after the earthquake based in the spilled paint without any tell-tale footprints, but is inconclusive. They agree to confine the primary suspect, Sonoyama. Iria Akagami decides not to notify the police, but rely on Aikawa instead to solve mystery when she arrives in five days. Meanwhile "I" and Kunagisa discuss the evidence and investigate Ibuki's room. While there, Ibuki's assistant, Shinya, arrives and decides to bury her body rather than leave it in the room.
