second trial
[Just as with last week, once the investigation finishes, that slow, ominous sound from the main lobby rumbles through the opera house.
The doors to the court room have opened and the time has come for a trial.
The court room looks just as it did before: the grand chandelier glittering above your heads, the fine red velvet seats. In the orchestra pit your circle of wooden podiums awaits you, just the same as before save for a few recent additions. Like Valjean before them, D-ne, Gabe, and Hime's podiums have been draped in black crepe with their greyscale funerary portraits. Behind them, where the performers themselves stood only a week ago, a metal pole stands with a softly glowing lightbulb atop it.
The curtain is closed, waiting to open when a decision has been reached and an execution can commence.
When everyone is in their places, the Balladeer's voice echoes loud and clear through the theatre. He still sounds slightly bewildered by all of this.]
Okay, everyone, you all know how this works now. Trial rules are the same, still no time limit, just...keep at it until you figure out what happened. You can do this.

...It...still does not put you in a very good light, Your Majesty. After all, even if we do not remember or understand our motives, clearly they have truth within them if it motivates someone to murder.
[He's just sayin'.]
no subject
[ He sighs. ]
But I knew it was the kind of secret that would easily seem a good excuse to murder, which is why I wanted to be clear. Even if I don't remember doing it, I wanted to be honest with Anna. She deserved to know.
no subject
[Also Billy has a good point, why admit it to one person and then decide you're gonna murder to keep it on the dl a couple days later? Stupid planning.]
no subject
Thank you. I'm sorry that I... apparently make quite a few mistakes in my future.
no subject
[He has...a little faith that you won't, at least.]
no subject
He has a point. Since he already told the one person who would take this secret the hardest, he would have no reason to keep it a secret, right?
[Besides wouldn't Anna be Hans'a main target in this case?]
no subject
Yes, exactly. I didn't want to risk anyone being hurt because of something I apparently do in the future. I can't imagine what led to it, [ Yeah, he can ] but if anyone found out and Anna happened to be killed, everyone would suspect it to be me. With good reason.
