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.]

Meridies-san...

[Kurama looks wide-eyed, surprised and pained. He doesn't know her very well, but... What she's doing is incredibly brave.]

[ She doesn't think so. ]

I know what it is to have someone you love more than anything threatened. To stand up in spite of it this way is a testament to who you can be.

...I wanted to protect her. After I'd taken so much away from her...

[Kurama looks a little stricken but also? His expression is one of perfect understanding, like Croix's sentiment is something familiar to him.]

You'll find a better way to protect her.

[scienceofmagic]

...I hope so.
