Take Responsibility.

The allotted time for investigating comes to an end, and those elevator doors slide open at the end of the first-floor corridor; it's a bit of a walk down from the fifth floor, but at least the ride down is swift and smooth.

To say nothing of spacious. Your numbers are running low.

The podium circle, as always, stands out against the black-walled courtroom where it's encircling that pit in the center; Mettaton and Shirazu have joined the ranks of the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black.

The Kingmaker, too, is watching all of you; as always, it isn't until everyone has settled at their podium that he speaks, his voice sounding out through the room for all to hear.

"Sacrificial has been taken from you. Maybe this time the guilty party is going to actually succeed at Rule Seven - but of course, whether they manage it is still up to the rest of you."

Eleven Survivors remain. How many are still standing by the end of the day is up to you.

[...

'They could be fake', he wants to say, but he also knows its probably a moot point. Aiden is smarter than that.]

No particular reason, it wasn't personal. It was business. [ He was an easy target, being out so late at night.]

He didn't suffer. [ Because as much as he's killed people, Aiden isn't that type of person.] We fought for a bit, but I was able to get his abdominal aortic artery eventually. It was over fast.

So that's why you used the bomb. To hide the injury.

[Just as Bruce suspected from the start... because the bomb was a bit too much.]

Yeah.

You and Mouri aren't bad at solving things. [ He had to make it more difficult, somehow.]

[Mouri has to turn around for a moment to hide the sudden pride in his expression]
amygdalae: that's a nice way to put it (my other self?)

[Just a wry smile here, more sad than anything else.]

...I'll take the compliment.

[Stan's lips quirk in something wry, and he looks away.]
