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.

[... Sigrun doesn't want to leave where she is, but she will after a moment, trekking back over to her podium and keeping her head lowered and staring at the titles across the podiums.

It's a leader's responsibility to keep on no matter what happens. No matter how much it hurts. She's still happy that it wasn't all fake though, that he let her be as close as she got to be and to learn so much about him, she'll miss just laying around and talking and touching his soul and knowing she's the only one he'd do that with. The double edge of that sword is that he was doing all that and knowing that one day he might have to condemn himself for the amusement of someone else.

... So really, who got off worse here?]

BOUNDLESS

[Fuck it. He was doing a job and no one'll know anyway because they're all going to vote for him anyway, the least she can do is blame herself. Like how she should've done with Misa.]
