fourth trial
[When the investigation finishes, the lights begin to flicker on and off as that low, gentle rumble echoes through the opera house. Again for those investigating the grounds the outdoor lights illuminating the still night flicker to get their attention.
Your intermission is ending. Please return to your trial room.
The court room looks just as it did before: the grand chandelier glittering above your heads, the dusty red velvet seats. In the orchestra pit your circle of wooden podiums are waiting. Angus, Riley and Shilo's podiums are draped in black crepe with their greyscale funerary portraits, just like your friends before them. The ghost light glows softly behind the podiums.
The curtain is closed, waiting to open when a decision has been reached and the execution can commence.
When everyone is in their places, the Phantom's voice echoes loud and clear through the theatre from his place in box 5. He still sounds distracted, just as he was for his other public appearance this week, like there are other things weighing on his mind.]
You must now determine who was responsible for the death of Shilo Wallace. Submit your vote on the podiums when you are certain of your choice.
[Gather your evidence and let's begin.]

[But... that hadn't changed anything, had it? She couldn't even sacrifice herself for something that mattered.]
Even... even my own life isn't worth anything here...

You have tried to sacrifice yourself, sell yourself short and generally belittle everything that's good about you since you arrived here. Your life is worth everything. People are strong here because of you. People are Good because of you.

[She hasn't heard Mephisto that angry before. She knows she shouldn't be surprised but... for him to keep trying to tell her she's good, when the world keeps telling her she isn't...
She chokes on another sob.]
You're supposed to be a demon. You aren't supposed to be the one making me better.
