[Byakuya leans over the table curiously as Makoto does his thing and opens up the shoebox to reveal the knife. His eyes widen as he looks down upon it.]
I see... It certainly is just as you described. [He's not sure what he expected to feel when he finally saw it. It doesn't seem familiar to him in any way. The sight of the blood - the real, human idol blood - as dried as it was, sent a chill down his spine. But aside from that... it seemed like an ordinary knife.]
A standard size 5 kitchen knife. It's typically used for cutting birds. It... should not have been used in this way.
[ naegi doesn't watch byakuya as he opens up the box. he's looked at the knife enough already and when he has a suspicion on who the knife was used on... there's a sick, twisting feeling in his chest ]
No, it shouldn't have been...
[ he pauses, swallowing over a lump in his throat and his mouth going dry ]
... I think this was the knife that used to... kill someone. In that game.
[He frowns as he looks it over, offering a solemn nod. He can't bring himself to touch it; it feels like it would be akin to touching a cursed object.]
...Yes. Given the blood, there's practically no other explanation that would fit. [Unless it was just an attempted murder.
[That doesn't seem like it was easy to say. It can't be. He frowns sympathetically at Makoto.]
...I'm sorry.
The name isn't among those I've remembered. [But then, he oddly has yet to remember any of the people from Makoto and Kyouko's class.] So she was... the first one. [But what could it mean that Makoto got the knife? ...No, he couldn't stab a fly.]

Byakuya levels a glance towards Makoto.]
Have you remembered anything regarding it?
no subject
I think so. I think this was the knife that killed... [ he pauses as he has a really hard time trying to get out this name ] ... Sayaka Maizono.
Kyouko believed that she was the first murder victim.
