Take Responsibility.
| The ride up to the courtroom occurs, as before, after an allotted period of time for investigation; the elevator waits patiently for you at each floor - third, second, first - before sending you upwards and on your way to the courtroom high above. As always, the trip is a smooth one; granted, after everything that the morning had been, any small comfort that fact may bring is likely not helping much. There are three less of you this time around, a fact reflected in the podium circle standing in the middle of the room; Alani, Milla and Chiyuki have all joined the ranks of the deceased, their podiums draped in black and their portraits in greyscale keeping a watchful eye over the rest of the trial circle. There's still no one present in the lectern above; however, once everyone has found their place in the circle, the Wordsmith's voice can be heard throughout the room. "I can see that matters are beginning to seem dire for you, Apprentices. I am sure that you all cared for Sympathetic in some measure—all except the guilty party. And now it falls to you once again to determine who that is. For your own sake as well as Sympathetic's, hold her killer accountable and have them take responsibility for their actions." Twenty-four Apprentices remain. We'll see how many remain at the end of the day. |

Thank you. I mean it's not like...a terrible, super dark secret or anything, but...

Don't worry about it. They're called secrets for a reason, aren't they?

You can whisper it in my ear, if you'd like, Officer. I don't think everyone has to know.

"Judy Hopps is being threatened with insubordination and at risk of being forced to resign as an officer."
That's what it said. I'm not keeping that secret from any of you. I just got...I thought I could do more than my boss was agreeing with. The case I had been trying to solve was my last chance to stay on the force. If I failed...I'd resign.

That's all I want to do. But...I'm not home right now, so I consider my job helping you all. And that's how things are going to stay.
