Just like last week, the pile of votes appear in front of the Sergeant, who counts them with practiced ease. He stands up as soon as he's done, pausing for only a moment, before making his announcement.
[So many volunteers...and only one Clarisse. It's a real pity]
I'm going to be frank for a second here: if I could give us all a chance to perform this duty, I would. I myself would have liked to do it. But rules are rules -- and the execution room isn't large enough for all of us killing her, anyway.
[He beckons everyone, while the two bailiffs the Sergeant commands and the one who is human enter to take Clarisse away. This time, anyone who pays attention to him can see his face before he leaves]
Let's see...
[The Sergeant actually has to think for a while before giving an answer. Minutes pass, before finally he takes his decision:]
It was hard to choose, but...Millium Orion. You're up. Meet me tonight.
[Millium can probably see the look of distress and hear the sharp intake of breath she gives, but she doesn't remark on it; she turns to leave as soon as it's announced.]
[ Oh, that sure is... a familiar face, and there is definitely recognition in Sakura's eyes. But she also seems a little torn that Millium really is doing this. She gets the reasons, but also-- she doesn't like them.
Being forced to make a decision like this, to save someone. ]
[Okay, so there are more of these shadow-faced bastards. Good to know. Keith's going to pick up that unopened bottle of hemlock and throw it as hard as he fucking can at the bailiff whose face is still obscured in shadow. If he had any of his knives with him, he'd be flinging one of those instead, but alas.
Maybe those rules should have been a bit more inclusive on who not to attack.....]

Good luck, then.
[Kino apparently has no issue with 13 year olds doing the murder.]
