WEEK 3 TRIAL

It was noon on Saturday.

No matter where they were, no matter what they were doing...the moment the chimes rang out through the hall, they felt a change.

The world...began to expand, as they felt themselves leaving the world they were on, and towards another, much larger world...🗈



...As always, the courtroom was there - along with the audience, watching, waiting for the entertainment before them.

The Witch - Nirrti - was there, sitting in the most important place, watching all of them with a sharp, cruel gaze, a smile of pure delight on her face.

Watanuki was also there, but he merely lounged in the back behind them, smoking a kiseru pipe in silence.
...It seemed as if he was content to watch - that he had to watch - as part of the rules of the game.

There was no music to be heard, but... perhaps on another plane, in another place, someone else heard music as they gazed upon the proceedings.

Again, their forms had changed - perhaps into something different than last time, but...still a change, no matter how dramatic or inconsequential it was.

...There was a deep silence in the room, one that no one wanted to break. It was the faint tension in the air, like the moments before a race or a competition begins.

They had found the truth last time....but now, two people had died.
Was it possible for them to find the culprit this time?
A culprit that....had...

No, it had to be.

For the sake of the dead...and the sake of them all.

[He laughs at her, between pained hacks, blood spilling]

I've come back from death more than once, I may have been defeated before - but the truth I seek always come through

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaa, then they should applaud you, not cry out! Everyone in the audience, give praise! Praise to this foolish, foolish detective who found the truth everyone was denying and looking away from!

[And, at her words....the goats in the audience....clapped uproariously.]

Ah, let me praise you!! Here, I will grant you the words of someone who claimed to be the Witch of Truth, a fellow Great Detective -

[A sneer.]

Very GOOD!

[He rasps, trying to keep smirking, despite the obvious jab at his failure - which stung - but he realize he can't let her see weakness. but the cry of pain escapes his throat, stopped any witty retort - as he gasps for breath - now he has to focus on himself, knowing it's only by Watanuki's grace he hadn't been eliminated]
