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.]

Maybe they should consider taking that problem up with the person extorting you in the first place. Nothing can ever excuse taking a life, Goro. I'm not saying it does. But I am saying people end up in positions like that for reasons.

[ She sighs. ]

No matter what you say, no matter what you do? I will never hate you. And I will never view you as anything less than my precious friend. Maybe I'm biased. I suppose that's human nature, isn't it?

... But I care about you. And I want... you to be happy. And I can tell there ARE things that make you happy. Your favorite coffee. Being with Kurusu. Playing a dancing game and winning. Those things were all so genuine. What you've done doesn't make you not a person.

You're right, they were genuine. So, what do you think it says about someone who would throw all of that away?

[theirmagic]

That they were desperate.
