[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

Giovanni isn't a bully, he's a really sincere person. I know it's hard to believe, I don't even really believe it myself, but stop bullying him for being kind!

[ugly_split_ends]

...He's hurt me.

[lovecolored]

He's like a tiny little yappin' Pomeranian. How did he even hurt you?

[ugly_split_ends]

H-He t-tried to act like he was being k-kind... by telling me "Have you considered therapy, because you're such a garbage human being?"

He didn't say it e-exactly like that, but that's what he said.

[white_camellia]

...I have no doubt that he asked if you considered therapy, at least. I am fairly certain he believes all of us need it, himself included.

[Look, she may be accusing him of murder, but she doubts he would be a jerk.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

He's probably right about that, too.

[ugly_split_ends]

So?! Whether he's right or wrong isn't the issue!

[white_camellia]

So the issue is that you interpreted it negatively, even if it was not necessarily intended as such?

[ugly_split_ends]

H-How else am I supposed to interpret a person mocking me??

[lovecolored]

If he didn't literally say that, then I doubt that was what he actually meant, yanno? He's the sorta person who says whatever stuff comes to mind, right?

[ giovanni of the no brain-to-mouth-filter

she says this because she's also only recently gained a brain-to-mouth-filter and sometimes it doesn't work ]

[ugly_split_ends]

H-He was mocking me... like hell it would be that easy... I'm busy trying to survive stupid trials, or the world ending, or whatever this world is supposed to be... it's like "Thanks for the suggestion!" am I supposed to just say that?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's what she means by just saying whatever comes to mind. He probably hadn't thought about it.

[ugly_split_ends]

...

[lovecolored]

I mean, it was a little tasteless, yeah.

[ even though she would have said the same thing to someone else.... ]

I'm sayin' this, right now, with real good intentions to ya--I'm not bein' mean, I swear it.

But ya really tend to read too much into people's words. Maybe it's the writer in you...? Sometimes, people just say stuff, and that's it. There's no real deeper meaning than 'hey, Fukawa, I like you and I wish you had a better lot in life.'

[ugly_split_ends]

... [sighs]

I'm just so used to people wanting to open me up, just to hurt me. ...And not in the fun way.

[homeecspacecop]

I'm pretty sure telling someone in this group they should go to therapy is like telling someone with a broken leg to go to the doctor.

[ugly_split_ends]

I didn't say he was wrong!!

[homeecspacecop]

If he's right, why are you mad at him for it?

[ugly_split_ends]

B-Because he was mocking me! Like you!

[homeecspacecop]

That's because he's the kind of person who runs over people! He doesn't mean to hurt people, he's just sincere and a little wild! It doesn't mean he doesn't care, just that he's reckless!

[He's stupid.]

[ugly_split_ends]

I-I'm sick of being told "people would care"... I didn't even say he was wrong, I just can tell when I'm being mocked!

[homeecspacecop]

It's not mocking you if people actually care! And people here do actually care.

[ugly_split_ends]

I just said stop telling me thaaaaaat!

[homeecspacecop]

Not telling you won't make peoples concern go away! It won't make them stop caring!

[ugly_split_ends]

Stoooooop telling me you care!! Stop torturing meeee!
