Take...Responsibility?

[kingmakereffect]

Unlike previous weeks in the Vault, there was no specifically allotted time for investigation; for the first time, this weekend the elevator doors remain closed at the end of the first floor corridor. There's no getting down into the courtroom from here – but then, you don't need to. After all, no one is dead. Just the same, however, a crime has been committed; perhaps not one that warrants any sort of death penalty, but one of your number was attacked by someone else still walking among you. The dining hall has been chosen as the allotted meeting place for the day; it's not the same as the trial circle by a long shot, but even so, the portraits of the deceased watch the proceedings from the far wall. Ten Survivors still remain. Let's see who wanted to lower that number by one – or nine.

What, no way! You guys aren't swinging at each other right now!

[He's been waiting for this ever since Cherry's confession he just didn't see it coming from Sigrun]

I'm not swinging at her. I just need her to stand still for a second or give up what she's hiding.

[He wouldn't actually punch her.]

[Yosuke stares at him for a long moment.

And for a moment there's doubt. If it's some kinda proof Sigrun attacked Gabriel (oh honey) then-]

Is... is it worth it?

[cherryblooded]

Things will be alright, dear. Promise you that.

[He really, truly does believe it.]

No one's gonna die over this. We decided that.

[He gives Stan a helpless look- he KNOWS but... after 7 trials he can't help feeling like something terrible is about to happen, and it shows on his face]

[Bruce is beside Stan, so he can see the look on Yosuke's face.]

Nothing's going to happen, Hanamura. We're all in this together, one way or another.
