Week 3 - Trial

Week 3: Trial

April 20th. It was now time for the trial.

When everyone arrives at the trial room, the tribunes are already filled with townspeople. Compared to last week, there's less morbid curiosity and more quiet outrage. Everyone's glaring at the visitors while they enter the courtroom.

The number of podiums draped in black has increased dramatically. Nine's, Mako's, Sandalphon's, and Bakugou's have joined Moloch's, raising the number to five. That's one sixth of the available podiums. How many more will be covered in black velvet before these two months end?

Once everyone is at the right podium, the Sergeant bangs his gavel. He doesn't seem to be in better mood than before.

"Today the victim is Katsuki Bakugou. Solve it."

Without even bothering to taunt or be as antagonistic as usual, he waves the gavel. Five small photos appear on the podiums.

            

"When it's time, you shall cast your vote. Write it on paper or put the photo inside the slot, I don't really care about how you do it. What matters is that you actually do it. Start your discussion."

The trial room went completely silent, all the visitors can feel the attentive stares of the townspeople gathered to watch. It's up to them now to find the culprit.

Let the trial begin.

I didn't see any water splashed out, but I don't know if that's because there wasn't a fight in the water or because the water dried. Although it does seem more likely he was already knocked out and there would be no need to weigh him down.

Yeah? [ Thinkin' about that. ] Then that might be wrong. If something that heavy really did get submerged, even partly, chances are the water would have overflowed.

[silvertongueheir]

[He nods.] There's plenty of other possible causes for those marks in the ground.

And we haven't figured out what made the wound in his chest yet. Maybe we should start thinking about that soon.
