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.]

...I think we both know.

[ It was a week ago. ]

[theirmagic]

The motive. Wasn't it...

[ She swallows. ]

[greatfascinations]

...No no no! That motive totally didn't say we'd just up and save your worlds. Just tell ya how to do it. He would think he'd have to, like, survive, wouldn't he?

[scienceofmagic]

...You saw how he reacted to Akechi, though, didn't you? Would he really be the kind of person to take someone else out with him?

[theirmagic]

... She's right, Coach. He'd... probably want the least bloodshed so we could save our loved ones, and maybe his too.

[eyesofdespair]

Or they could be the one working for the boss and planting evidence.

[theirmagic]

... I guess it's possible.
