THE SECOND TRIAL
(~SK. 10-11)


[Once the investigation wraps up, Zero's voice emanates once more throughout the Gigantic. The doors to the theater on both the C Deck and D Deck open as he speaks. And yes, when people come in through the C Deck Doors, they will find they can access the lower level from the stairs.

Yay?]

It is time. Come to the theater.

I wouldn't worry about bringing blankets.

[And indeed, when the Strangers come into the theater, they will find that the room is considerably warmer compared to the rest of the ship. There are also changes to the podiums-John, Anya and Kaito's places are all draped in black.

The screens schlllorrrp back in, with Zero's face appearing after a moment of static.]

Of course I am here for any questions. But I believe you know how this goes, so I suggest you begin. Justice delayed is...justice denied.

[The trial for Kaito Momota, The High King, has begun.]

Comments

[hatesdeerstalkers]

For the same reasons we're pondering this at the moment - misdirection from more pertinent clues.

[He shakes his head.]

I must also admit I thought of Kaito originally being brought up under the pretense of playing a game, and it turning sour afterwards - but I'm not certain that holds any weight.

[onychomance]

I'm not sure either. If that were the pretense, why would it not be mentioned in the note?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

Yes, that truly is the question, is it not?

Perhaps we're missing evidence at the moment to lead to a greater conclusion.
