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.]

Oh, dear.

I suppose that Brain-kun could not have done that on purpose with the music note, and your fellow investigators watched you grappling with it.

If he could aim the sharp note, his position might be reversed.

I don't know the particulars of his power, but I'm inclined to agree with you.

Hubert and Akane-san entered the lounge a bit later on and likely spotted me struggling with it. Regardless, I realize we can't really clear me like this.
