Take Responsibility.

And once the allotted time for investigating comes to a close, those elevator doors slide open at the end of the first-floor corridor, offering another of those fast, smooth rides down to that black void of a courtroom Twelve out of the original twenty-seven are dead; there are four less of you present for this trial than there were last week. That's incredibly obvious as soon as the doors slide open and the podium circle comes into view where it's encircling that dark pit in the center of the room; Norman, the King, Tarrlok, and Lynne have joined the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. Of course and as always, the Kingmaker is watching too; he waits until everyone is settled at their podiums to begin speaking, though it's still impossible to tell exactly where his voice is coming from. "Assured and Perceiving have been taken from you. You guys are really getting excited, aren't you? Two people dead in one night... Whether the guilty party succeeds or not, though, is up to the rest of you." Fifteen Survivors remain. However many will be down by the end of the day is up to you.

[Bruce pushes up the sleeves of his jumpsuit the best that he can and raises both of his palms. There is some glitter on them (specifically on his palms, and a bit at his side), but--]

I was handling Mister Tarrlok's body earlier. Mister Colress and Detective Mouri can confirm.

[Which explains why he has glitter on his hands and his side where he had been trying to brush it off from him. It's not anywhere else on his body, though.]

[Colress nods.]

That is correct. Mr. Banner and I discussed the glitter ourselves.
