A pile of votes appear in front of the Sergeant, votes he quickly counts. When he's done, he stands up and looks at them. For a moment the silence is thick, he looks at the clock again.

The results are in.

We really did...

[ Alfin's voice is quiet. They almost didn't get her. ]

[doublelammy]

...But we did get her. We're gonna get justice, Your Highness.

[That doesn't make her feel better, but she hopes it helps Alfin a little.]

[alfin]

[ Alfin looks down darkly. ]

Is it really justice, if it happens here?

[doublelammy]

...Maybe not.

But it's the best we're gonna get, isn't it?

[alfin]

[ Alfin clenches her hands in her dress as tears stream down her face. ]

I should be able to do better...!

[snailedit]

[Is that little girl crying over her now? That's so weird.]

Hmm. If you don't want that 'justice', then would you rather forgive me?

[This question is pure indulgence in curiosity.]

[alfin]

[ Alfin tilted her head up to look at Mira. ]

...I already do forgive you.

[ It was self defense, after all. Even if what she did to the body afterward was horrible... Alfin just wasn't the type to hate people. She truly believed in second chances. And here... there were no second chances. ]

[snailedit]

You still voted for Will, right? Well, don't worry about it. Everyone trusting each other, that was never going to work to begin with.

[alfin]

[ Alfin shook her head. ]

I didn't vote at all. I didn't know for sure it was Will. I only acted like I was certain because I thought if I did, and he was the culprit, he would crack...

[ She sighed. ]

I owe him an apology...

[snailedit]

[She's kind of surprised she answered that earnestly.]

Well, I guess not voting in this situation is fittingly Princess-like.

I thought I was going to get away with it... None of you came close to noticing what I was really worried about. Those six people must have been tapped into something I wasn't aware of.
