[CONTINUE + 3] week 1 || act: indict

[foundationmods]

[Saturday dawns, bright and early again. No one comes to the Inn, but you feel compelled to go to the Core anyway.

It's as if you're forced to. As if....it's inescapable.

You make the walk past everything, until you are directly in the Core, where some kind of whitish, rainbow-gleaming liquid can be seen below.

In this area, you are led to a wider platform that is still open to the liquid before, with the handrails in place - where there are some seats around, and a familiar face waiting to speak with you.

This...for all of you, it is a familiar sight.

It is a trial location.

You are here to find the killer...and convict one of your own, in a murder that makes no sense.

But you have no choice.

You can only forge ahead....and try to find out the truth.]

VICTIM: YOSHI NANASE

[Just going to keep an eye on this, to be honest.

Even if she's outright refusing to take out her inventory unless the scent is caught on her, personally.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He nods]

If we can find it... or where it could be placed...

[accessorytomurder]

...if it was floating, you wouldn't need to touch the body to grab it. Would you?

[improbablenotimpossible]

You wouldn't, but the dump is the sort of place that has a - "Scent" to it that would be hard to avoid.

[dereban]

[Quietly:]

You guys already know that Atsushi and myself were rooming with him, so if Yoshi's specific scent is caught on us because of it, that might not be good enough proof.

[finalring]

[ also quietly: ]

It would then come down to who has the strongest scent. It was a fight, after all, it will leave more than when you're simply near him. [ ... ] Or if the... possession can leave a distinctive scent.

[dereban]

... my personal thoughts is that there is some sort of logic at least, if we're meant to 'solve' the murder.

[finalring]

That is true, isn't it? Each time it has left less clues, but it has always been enough to find who they possessed. Perhaps that is intentional as well.

[dereban]

A slow raise in difficulty as time goes on...?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Just like a game.

[improbablenotimpossible]

True. We have to least try.

[What would happen otherwise? the feeling made his stomach go into knots]
