Week 5 - Trial

Week 5: Trial

      

Last time it was at dawn. Now it's at sunset. The Sergeant gave everyone plenty of time to investigate and gather evidence, and now that everyone entered the courtroom, he slammed his gavel.

"I can sense a few of you are feeling rather hostile. Remember you're in a courtroom, and you're being watched by everyone in town"

People's opinions of the visitors are already very low, but there's no need to feed them further with a brawl in the courtroom -- or so the Sergeant thinks. There are more podiums draped in black now. Five more people died, seventeen people are alive. How many will be left once the trial is over?

"This time we have three victims in total. Millium Orion, Cian Reikado, and Azura were the unfortunate victims last night, and now you shall debate and decide who is responsible for this.

These are your suspects. Vote for as many as you think are responsible for these crimes"

            

Let the trial begin.

...you cannot gain something you already have.

[relieable]

[ow????? this is really... hurting him]

...So you're saying you've already killed before.

[silvertongueheir]

You've seen the weapon I used.

[Hey, remember your first afterparty talk?]

[relieable]

The knife. [he had been so worried about Franciscus using his pokémon, he'd almost completely forgotten] So you slit Azura's throat with that.

[silvertongueheir]

[He just nods.]

[relieable]

[he doesn't know what to say. he feels... so betrayed. Franciscus was the person he was the most closest to here. Osomatsu really believed in him]

...How much more of you is a lie, then?

no more red text from here on out for the record

[silvertongueheir]

I told you, didn't I? The face I put on in public isn't the face I show in private. Ah...but seeing Millium lying there, those emotions showed anyway. I can't act detached forever, it seems.

I did enjoy our conversations. That much is true.

[relieable]

[well, that's a small comfort, at least]

So you did it just to get Sakura-chan out of this place?

[silvertongueheir]

She would never kill, or do anything in those missions to earn a medal.

[relieable]

[he wants to be mad, and he is, to an extent. because Sakura would never want anyone to kill for her.

but there's a part of him that is really just heartbroken about the whole thing. fucking feelings, man]

...Idiot.

[silvertongueheir]

[Ah. Are those the same feelings that are bringing tears to his eyes? Fucking feelings, man.]

I am, aren't I? I accomplished nothing in the end...

[relieable]

[he looks away, in the opposite direction of Franciscus' podium, and towards Millium's. he doesn't want to cry. he seems to come to a decision, but he'll say more later.

for now, he's silent, gritting his teeth, gripping his podium until his knuckles turn white]
