RECORDING 15: THE FIFTH TRIAL.

[foundationmods]

The worst has happened... and now you're all here, in the living room where all the trials so far have taken place. As all of you enter, the Vessel is there - Ango, standing as firm and unyielding as ever, waiting for the time when the trial is scheduled to begin.

On one of the tables away from the center is a small enclosed box entitled 'VOTES', with slips of paper nearby and a pen. It's sufficiently away from what will be the 'main' action, but not enough to really give anyone complete privacy as they vote.

Once everyone is inside, the doors automatically shut and lock themselves, leaving you trapped in here with the Vessel...and each other.

One of you is a murderer...however, in this game, the guilty do not need to be voted out. As long as there are enough people voted out that matches the victims...then it will be accepted.

...But, can you really let someone get away with murder...?

The choice is up to you.



VICTIMS: Battler Ushiromiya and Giovanni Potage

It's belief-based but only when there's magic and the like involved. Likely, this gun wasn't involved in Battler's death. That gun may be the one from the Master Bathroom.

He was just as vulnerable to physical things as I am.

Battler once knocked me over with his power, and I'm a flesh-and-blood real person. Neither was I saying anything like 'I have magic' at the time."]

I've never had that experience, but I suppose it's possible if he was denying something hard enough.

But there weren't any other signs of bullets or wounds other than the three that killed him.

"So he was denying 'me', huh..."]

If it was close to when Rin was killed... he was likely in a severe form of distress... denial and anger being the first stages of grief, after all.

[She sighs, then writes:

"It was long before that. But... whatever. I think I have an idea of what triggered it, now.

Anyway, You are probably right. I doubt Battler 'denied' his way to the person using blanks... unless the person was someone he trusted to such an extent he couldn't believe they were shooting him? That's the only thing I can think of, but it's just an idea. Not even a theory."]

It looks as though the bullets which killed Battler match the gun found in the Master Bathroom, in any case.

We can probably assume this gun was used in Giovanni's case. Or misleading evidence.
