Take Responsibility.

And once the allotted time for investigating comes to a close, those elevator doors at the end of the first-floor corridor open up; the ride down is fast, smooth, and understandably tense as far as atmosphere goes. You're down to less than half of your original number. The doors slide open and the podium circle comes into view, standing stark against the black-walled courtroom and encircling that pit in the center; Misa and Aqua have joined the ranks of the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. Of course and as always, the deceased aren't the only ones watching; the Kingmaker will make his presence known once everyone has settled at their podium, his voice sounding out through the room for all to hear. "Resilient has been taken from you. Maybe this time the guilty party will actually succeed at fulfilling Rule Seven, seeing as this is the sixth try and all. Whether they manage it is up to the rest of you." Thirteen Survivors remain. However many will be down by the end of the day is up to you.

It... it was really lucky...

[Don't mind him trying not to hyperventilate]

[amygdalae]

[Don't hyperventliate, Yosuke.]

...it was good. You really helped us out, Hanamura.

[garudynamic]

[Just a small nod. He doesn't want to embarrass himself more by talking]

[sleepingkogoro]

Will you be okay, Hanamura-kun?

[Maybe...this kid is not cut out to be a detective. Poor Yosuke]

[garudynamic]

[Nod nod. And yeah, sorry Mouri he has a squeamish heart]

[penduli]

[ ...it was. Black's really shit at comforting people—as if that hasn't been made obvious enough—but. He'll gently rub Yosuke's back, soothing circles, the way his mom'd do when he was upset.

He doesn't really know what to say, because it all seems sort of... pointless? But he's trying. ]

[garudynamic]

[Sorry Black, you're getting leaned on.]

[penduli]

[ ...nah buddy, it's cool. Take the time you need. ]

[isafraid]

....Oi, hey, hey.

[Please don't have a heart attack...]

You've done some good, Yosuke. We all figured this out.
