Before we go any farther, I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Makoto Naegi. As you can see, I'm nothing but a hopelessly average high school student. Average on the outside, average on the inside.

We have no choice but to push forward if we want to find out what happened... Somehow, I have to find out the truth. So that we can all survive... 

And thus the curtain rises... A life-or-death trial... Risking our lives to outwit each other, to betray each other... Our lives hang on solving the riddle, pleading our cases, and trusting one another... Our lives are on the line... in the class trial!
