Take Responsibility.

The elevator doors slide open at the end of the allotted time for investigating, and the ride down is quick-paced and smooth; there's a lot more space in here than there was at the start of the game, that much is obvious. But then, perhaps that's to be expected with almost a third of your original number dead. The doors slide open when the courtroom is reached, the podium circle waiting as always in the middle of what still seems to be an endless dark void; Yato, Taichi and Megumi have joined the ranks of the dead, their podiums draped in black, greyscale portraits set upon them. Watching the proceedings. And as always, they aren't the only ones watching. The Kingmaker waits until everyone is settled at their podiums to begin speaking; it's still impossible to tell where his voice is coming from – other than, perhaps, 'everywhere.' "Protective has been taken from you. Looks like the guilty thought their secret was worth more than her life... Or maybe they just wanted out and decided to be the one to succeed at Rule Seven where everyone else has failed. Whether they succeed or not is up to you." Nineteen Survivors remain. How many are still alive at the end of the day is your decision.

Oh point! I kinda just assumed since he held it over us. Still, why would she trust someone to come into her room when it was such a risk?

[ratingspoint]

Maybe she didn't think it was a risk at all! Maybe it was someone she trusted - Cherryblod has been sleeping in my room sometimes, and Sigrun has fallen asleep with me in her room. I could have killed either of them at any time, but I didn't.

[Nod nod.

...Cherryblod, you should look at least a little worried when he says that.]

[garudynamic]

Megumi was really nice... I could see that.

I mean I wouldn't do it, but still.

[isafraid]

She seems like she was the type that would want to trust others no matter what.

[Nod nod!!!

... Sigrun's a light sleeper anyway, and... there was that time she could've killed him is she'd really wanted to too, but it's nothing she'll speak up about.]

[Well, that one's nobody's business...]
