[CONTINUE + 4] 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. Puppets, forced to dance where their strings lead.

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....surrounded by a sea of entirely gray faces, no Monsters to be seen.

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.]

[...

Karen takes a deep breath.]

I want to just believe in the inherent goodness of people, to assume that whoever is pulling our "strings" would automatically be someone we could agree with. I... can't really do that. I don't know if I was never that kind of person, or if this place has changed me, but I can't just decide to believe that.

But I can believe in what I know. This is the third "murder game" I've been in. That means, whoever you are, you keep coming back to me. When you want to see these things through, I'm the one you choose. I don't think you would do that if you didn't care about me, if you weren't aiming for me to succeed.

So thank you.

[...she pauses briefly.]

...and if you happen to have a Miracle Light with you, I really think it would be a good idea to have it ready.
