If there was a similar situation with Kaede, it could be a really pivotal friendship moment for all of them. Nagito being convinced he's found proof that the mastermind is cheating, and challenging Monokuma to a class trial to prove it. To which Monokuma replies that if they go through with it and he fails, the penalty will be the death of not just himself, but the entire class.
This makes Nagito falter for a moment, and look to them. Not sure if he has the right to make that call. Only for Mahiru, Gundham, and Sonia to step forward and say that regardless of whether or not he wins or loses, they're gonna stand with him on this. Mikan, Hiyoko, and Kazuichi follow, deciding they're tired of the Killing Game. And that if they do end up dying here, they'd rather go out united as a class.
The way Nagito discovers evidence of a Kaede-like situation could parallel Makoto's Chapter 5. With Nagito being framed for Imposter's death (they could have discovered something important and been killed), and being put through an execution that fails due to his luck. Leading to him falling down to some location where there's evidence of some kind of cover-up. Only in this AU, the execution could also parallel his life in the main verse. With him losing his left arm in the process of narrowly escaping.
Could make it extra funny when he crawls his way back up, walks into the cafeteria, and is all like "Heeeere's Johnny!" when revealing himself to the others. Who all start screaming and going WTF. After a few seconds of silent staring, he's just like "S-surprise. Not dead, guys.". Before finally he just falls over comically, having fainted from the blood loss. Mikan has to scramble to properly treat the wound.
THIS IS SO GOOD, oh no he falters- YAYYY THEY GOT HIS BACK WE LOVE YOU GUYS YOU'RE AWESOME, YASS THOSE GUYS TOOO, CLASS UNITE AGHH, I really like them supporting him for once :D, OH EM GEE THAT COULD WORK SO WELL, Ooooo that's an interesting look at it, AHAHAHAHAHAHAH THEY'D BE LIKE BRUH YOU WERE DEAD AHHHH OR SOMETHING, Kazuichi would be the loudest screamer and I love him for that, AHAHAHHAHA he falls over ( kind of like that scene in chapter 3 ) and Mikan would freak out and attend to the wound, this scenario is both silly and amazing- thanks for sharing this with me my favourite anon 💞💞
