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.]

.... heat.

Does... does the flesh at the cuts look like it's been seared?

[Though that doesn't really explain why.]

[yesorwoof]

No. I am completely certain according to my investigation that cauterization with a hot sword is the one thing that did not happen. We even see that Brain-kun did sustain some other burns.

It is truly bizarre.
