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.]

I'd be willing to guess he was pushed off the staircase first since his body was directly underneath it, and that wasn't likely to have killed him so the killer took their time and went down to finish him off with that clean slice along his neck.

[ Just a guess but it's better than nothing. He wasn't gonna hold back on this matter. ]

As for the blood inside his shoe, if it was simply just put back on him after the fact? Why weren't his glasses put back on in the same way, even in their damaged state?

[incrediblystressedout]

[Eyes closed tight. Focus. Don't think about who it was, just think about what happened.]

He must have stepped in blood at some point with his shoe off somehow, and then put his shoe back on? Why would either of those things happen, though...

[scienceofmagic]

...Is it possible he wasn't originally wearing those shoes and the killer changed them? Also the blood... Is it possible the killer was injured, too?

[totalbullshit]

I was wondering the same. Do any of us share Yuuri's shoe size?

[scienceofmagic]

...We can certainly check.

[comesaround]

That's what I suspect, actually. That's why I do have a suggestion but I know most won't take it well.

[ A sigh. Not that it matters to him but he's saying it anyway. ]

[scienceofmagic]

And what's that?

[comesaround]

If there's more than one injury, more likely than not i'd say people should simply strip. Everyone would be on equal grounds and there'd be nothing to hide, but it shouldn't come to that just yet.

[incrediblystressedout]

If I strip in front of this many adults we all deserve to get executed.
