THE THIRD TRIAL
(~SK. 17-18)


[When the investigation ends, the D O N G rings throughout the ship, followed by Zero's voice.]

It is time. Everyone, come to the theater. Time is...wasting.

[And so it is. The seating has once more changed to reflect the fallen-Moriarty and now Brain's podiums are draped in black. And, of course, there is no food-

The screens come up, and the mask of Zero appears, ever inscrutable. Their instructions are brief.]

Your Brain is gone, I'm afraid. Cut into pieces and cast aside...and someone here knows why. Now, it's time for you to discover the truth as well...if you can.


[The trial for the murder of Brain, the Blue, has begun.]

Might've expected our reactions to be enough punishment. And since she'd already been taken...consider that the threat was to raise her in a terrorism cult.

[yesorwoof]

The threat is still viable. Interesting choice of words.

[...]

For the time being it's irrelevant.

[superstylishsquid]

I get the impression it's more like the threat was going to be carried out either way.

But yeah, the point is, I don't think Aoi has anything else to lose by not helping the culprit. Besides, it's entirely possible the culprit could've fabricated evidence themselves.
