With your course of study officially completed, for better or worse, there isn't much left for you in the courtroom itself; the elevator will take you back down to the first floor, where you'll be left off – it won't take you any lower than that. But then again, perhaps it doesn't need to. Take some time to reorient yourself, to be grateful that you didn't die, to do whatever it is you need to do – however, if you return to the main part of the building, away from the dorms... Well. There's something waiting for you in the foyer.

...I suppose I shouldn't have asked. You... find joy in despair.

[trustwellness]

It's my purpose.

[firstaid]

Why... why is it your purpose? Is that something you know?

[trustwellness]

That's irrelevant to the choice.

[firstaid]

Even so, I still wish to know.

[trustwellness]

[...????]

Why?

[firstaid]

Because, I want to. I want to know why you do this. I want to know why this brings you joy. I can't say I'll understand, however, at least I will feel I'll know why you did this. There must be a reason, like there was one for Kirei.

[trustwellness]

Knowing won't do you any good.

[firstaid]

How do you know that?

[trustwellness]

Knowing without understanding is pointless.

[acherontiastyx]

Well, alright, try me. I'm kinda defective, at least.

[firstaid]

So you're telling me that because I won't understand, it's pointless to know? I would like to beg to differ.

[She takes a deep breath...]

...however, you already understand yourself, don't you, and why you do what you do and see... nothing wrong with it.

Are you... You have a mouth with which to speak...and I promise I won't talk over you, this time. I want to understand.

[acherontiastyx]

Okay. Look. Put the souls back and nobody gets hurt. We. We have this video game back home. It's called Mario Maker. You can put together the meanest levels you can think of.

[trustwellness]

And what are you going to do if I don't?

Are you going to beat me down, Guzma?

[acherontiastyx]

I-I'm just saying. You might. Really like Mario Maker. Um. 'Cause. You can unleash all the evils of the world on unsuspecting players.
