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.

I'd say that was nice, but it ain't worth much to her now.

I just wish you'd made it quicker. [Like he asked, way back when he found out about your murder shows and predicted you killing everyone someday. Just when he'd started to think maybe he was wrong.] Hell of a way to go.

...The first hit killed her. It is almost three hundred pounds centered on four-inch heels; she didn't suffer. We did fight a bit, but the actual killstrike was quick.

You could've killed her without her ever knowin' you were doing it. It hurts just as bad when people you trusted turn on ya. Hell, look around.

But I guess that's better than nothing.

[Speedwagon just.... he can't.

He can't look at you, Mettaton.]
