THE THIRD TRIAL

[It happens again, like clockwork. Once the final clues have happened, the elevator in the food court opens with a DING. It doesn't leave until everyone has gotten on, and the thought occurs to everyone that they shouldn't waste time.

An innocent man was ruthlessly murdered, after all. After everything that's happened.

Just as before, everyone who is still alive will find their favorite food and drink at their platform. And just as before, Akechi, Helena and Ren's platforms have now been lowered and covered with a white cloth, joining the increasing number of dead spaces in the trial area. Helena's platform, however, has an addition not present on any other deceased's platform: a single white lily, placed almost reverently on top.

Well. Whatever reason that lily is there, it shouldn't detract from the fact that there is a trial to be had here, once more. Its time to look at the evidence at hand, and to hopefully find whoever did this heinous crime.

So, it's time, Titled.

The trial for the murder of Ren Sanzashi, The Doorframe, has begun.]

Yes, it's very much a thing, a mandatory thing they teach in witching school. Which I... realize will not rule out Professor Croix and myself, so I may as well say now that we both learned how to make potions and what plants were poison and what were not.

To clarify: we mostly learn to avoid certain plants and seeds in Basic Potions, so that we don't make mistakes and accidentally kill someone through simple experimentation.

[ It's against the rules, but no one really pays attention to that. It's just very "don't get caught." ]

We only use them in much more advanced potions.

Yes, using an apple seed to grow an apple tree out of an entire apple is quite common, as is changing the flavor of an apple itself, so...

[ Y'know, witch stuff. ]
