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.]

[ Looked to have fallen... ]

Could it be... [ He's now staring at Karma for a moment, his expression tensing even more. Then he's looking at the floor. ] ... he was aiming a punch at Katsuki-san but missed because of his speed ... and then Katsuki-san fell down the stairs during his attempt to dodge...?

[ He swallows hard. ]

[thegreenhornet]

Karma wouldn't miss a punch!

[After getting punched a few times by Karma that's what he thinks, at least]

[byanyother_name]

Karma is highly skilled, Reid-san, but Katsuki-san's power was to literally move faster than the eye could see. If he triggered it in a panic, seeing the strike coming...

Yes, Akira-kun, that's a scenario I've been considering as well.

[ ... but it's a scenario he doesn't want to think about. His expression is actually becoming a little strained. ]

Karma's very skilled. The bruises on my body from training make that clear... but like Shuuichi said...

[ He's holding a blink, going quiet. ]

[comesaround]

Akira-kun. If I had wanted to kill Katsuki-san, I wouldn't have bothered with my power to do it as it takes a moment to gather the energy there and it would have given him too long to try and get away from me.

[ Karma really wants to dispel those doubts here, so you don't think he's the one who actually killed Yuuri. ]

[beguiledcard]

Katsuki-san was very trusting, so if you were just talking to him without raising suspicion of what you planned to do... I don't think he would have thought to try getting away, until he saw the punch coming.

[comesaround]

I meant that I wouldn't have bothered using it at all. If i'm going to kill someone, i'll use my skills with a knife to do it before trying to use the power i'm not well acquainted with.

... Yuuri was a figureskater, though. It's possible he could have.
