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.

That may be, but then Misa-Misa would have to sneak up on him and wait for the right moment and stuff...I could never do something like that. Misa-Misa's no ninja or anything!

Misa-Misa's also a great actor who loves her boyfriend to the point where he's her everything. Where she'd do pretty much anything for him. I'm sure you could've found some way to do it, with that "bad dream" lately and the offer the Kingmaker gave us.

B-but that's...I...um...

You're not the only one dating someone. I mean, last week, I was ready to lay my life on the line for Mettaton's honor, even if that would've been really stupid and reckless. It's just how I was feeling.

[Kiiiind of embarrassing now, but you know, she's fine with it. Mettaton's just important to her.]

In fact, sacrificing yourself for Light isn't something you'd have a problem with, didn't you say? If it was worth the risk, you'd take it for him, wouldn't you?

[happysweets]

Of course I would. I owe Light my whole life, actually. If it wasn't for him...well, I'd definitely be dead right now. So even if I lose my life right here, right now, I was supposed to die a while ago.

Misa-Misa has two guardian angels, after all.

I'm guessing one's Light, from how you speak about him, but who's the other?
