WEEK 3 - TRIAL

[foundationmods]

TRIAL

The morning seemed so far away yesterday - yet, it also seems too soon when morning comes and you are all yet again ushered to the third floor by The Lady. The Captain is there, in all of his....wait, no, he's asleep.

The doors close, and...nothing happens. There's still the box labeled 'VOTES' in his lap on the couch, but...

On the table is a letter, that reads 'Only one person may be voted for execution this week. Please figure out who that will be during the time limit.'

As you finish reading that, music begins to play in the room...


VICTIM: SHIROU EMIYA, HIMEKO INABA, AND MUNEHISA IWAI

23 GUESTS REMAIN.

We can't give up yet. Makoto-san... I want to believe we can still save her, and get rid of the Barghest at the same time.

[A beat, and..]

.... And Roxas-san... thank you.

For...saving Akira.

[13thpromise]

No, we can't. If we can save her - no, I think we can, so...that's why we have to try.

[ Roxas looks a little guilty at that, though, because... ]

... It's nothing to be thanked for, I think. I'm just I'm sorry that I didn't act sooner...I didn't know who to pick who would take your place. But, I just knew I couldn't let Akira die like that.

[messianic]

No. You're right.

[The small smile he flashes Roxas is nothing but sincere.]

I'm not offended. Akira... what he can bring for everyone here is so, so important. It's important that he survives.

[13thpromise]

I think it's important that he survives, but it's also important for others to survive too.

[ Roxas' eyes are on Minato as he says this. ]

[messianic]

[Minato's fingers curl into his shirt, in front of his heart--

And then he smiles, a little distantly, and nods.]

Yeah...

It's important that we all survive. As much as we possibly can... let's survive.
