Week 3, Saturday

This time, when everyone files into the studio, they aren't escorted to their seats. Instead, they are sent to podiums up on the stage arrange in a semi-circle. Everyone can see each other, and everyone is also visible to the cameras. Off to stage right is a jury box with 12 prinnies in it, all in various states of 'fancy dress'. One is wearing a suit top, another a blouse, one a huge Colonial-era wig. To stage left at box 0 is Dazai's seat, where he will be spending most of the trial, but he will get up to move around at times. And in the very center is a picture of Aqua. Once everyone is in their spots, one of the prinnies will hit a gavel against the podium in front of it, signaling the start of the trial.

It's time to find Aqua's killer.

Just gave up on seeing if we'd figure it out on our own?

Perhaps.

Did you learn anything?

I have been learning for thousands and thousands of years, Ingway.

[Yeah he saw all the talk about Box-kun yesterday]

I am a little disappointed I went for the wrong target. I should thank you for letting us play at a trial with training wheels, as they say.

Oh?

[ ... ]

You recognize it as such, then.

Why else would you 'confess'? You're clearly not cracking under the stress.

[Of course this is before it's clear he was right about Sandy]

Indeed, but a trial like this does not compare to the trials I have endured in the past.

[ A beat. ]

I simply thought it was the best time to interject lest the conversation get lost in nonsensical chatter.

[ Or so he says, but there's something about how he says it. ]
