THE SECOND TRIAL


[Soon enough, once the final clues have been uncovered, the telltale DING echoes through the Mall. The elevator in the food court has opened once more, and it will not close until all of the remaining Titled have gotten in it. And, as before, a thought comes to them, the realization that they needed to get on the roof, and get to the bottom of this.

Soon enough, everyone is back on the roof, and they will find that their platform arrangement has changed to reflect those who had died since last week. The podiums of Dio, Torri, and Yuuri are each all lowered and covered with white cloths. Otherwise, everyone else's platforms also have food and drinks, just like last week.

It's probably still not much comfort, especially with what everyone knows must happen. They must look at the evidence they have gathered, and once more, they will have to figure out the truth, putting their lives on the line to do so. Hopefully, their luck will hold.

So, get ready.

The trial for the murders of Torri Feiji, The Bliss, and Yuuri Katsuki, The Future, has begun.]

Under some circumstances, I might consider they had second thoughts...but if they had to chase her through Yotsukoshi and, from the disorganized rack and bruised wrist, drag her out of a hiding place...they would have had plenty of time to reconsider before dealing the finishing blow. In this case, I think we can count the gauze as evidence someone else found the scene of the crime.

... If someone else found the crime scene, why not tell us? Why just put, essentially, a band-aid on a person you couldn't save?

[foolishjustice]

I can't be sure. But...given last week, we can't even be sure that saving her was their intention. It could have been meant as planted evidence.

[theirmagic]

... You mean... that person that could be... working for our captors might have done this? In that case, they can't be dead, then...

[ She's concerned. ]

[foolishjustice]

Yes. And in that light, we'll have to carefully consider what evidence is real, and what is meant to distract us from the truth.

You don't think it's like what happened last week with the sleeping pills, right?

[The huge beast thing may not have done it, Britt can't imagine her trying to apply gauze on anyone here]

[theirmagic]

... I mean, it's possible. It would definitely explain the odd circumstances around the gauze...
