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.

[... Well, Sigrun listens, anyway, and plop down beside him, her anger more like burning coals at the reveal that another of her bad choices really had been worse than expected.

First a kill switch, now a mole. What a talent she's got.]

I'm going to curse you and whatever family you have, no matter how distant, for the pain you've caused me. Not to mention everyone else.

[Just starting that out. Let her just... Let her get her mind in order, picking up the book and keeping it in her lap.]

You're not forgiven just like Mettaton's not forgiven. I wanted to protect you, just like I wanted to protect him, but I...

[...]

I'd just like to know what you're gonna do now. Since we know and all.

[Is it clear she's tired? There's, uh. There's some wet spots on the sketchbook's cover, but her hair's hiding her face pretty well. Doesn't hide the shaking though.]

[ ...well, having confessed about the murder up there to Yosuke and everyone else—

he's just gonna lean against he, if she'll let him. He's so tired, too. ]

I don't know. He's probably watching, so he'd know I've told you guys, so there's no way I could keep it up? [ ...probably doesn't need to officially resign then. ] ...I think I might go to the sewing room and start working on that dress you wanted.

[... She'll let him have that, if only because she's tired and Black's not gonna die, not on her watch, he's gonna atone for what he did.

Additionally, she's going to wrap an arm around him tightly. No hope for escape, and a message to anyone not to get close too.]

... I'd like for you to start sleeping where I do, first off. Secondly, you're going to make up for all-- of that you spilled, and... third, just... don't die, okay. I'm tired of losing people.

[ Ordinarily, this might be nice, but he just really wants to erase his existence right now. ]

...okay. [ To all of that. ...he doesn't know how he can make up for everything; that's probably more on them than it is on him.] Sorry.
