Third Trial

[Once again, the sound of opening doors echoes through the opera house as the investigation draws to a close.

Time for your third trial.

The courtroom looks the same as ever, save that Darla and Eliza's podiums are now arranged in the same funerary fashion as the other deceased cast members. The lights from the bulbs standing in their places seem to cast the rest of the house even more in shadow, even as the crystal chandeliers still glitter dimly above. The Balladeer is hidden backstage once more, somewhere behind the red curtain drawn shut across the stage. Once everyone's taken their places, he speaks up.]

Alright. Let's do this.

There will be no duels in my courtroom.

[The Balladeer's voice is cold and furious. He knows how Eliza's son died; he knows how Eliza's husband died. And he knows how Darla and Eliza did, too, and now this?]

Vote.

I wouldn't have dueled him even if I did have a sword!

[...but yeah, anyway.]

I honestly was not talking to you.

[you are not the one he is angry with bro]

Good to know.

[nah it's cool he didn't think you were mad, bro]

Gladly.

[He stares straight at Hook with fury in his eyes as he slams his hand on the button.]

[At least it's easier this time. She wonders if she's getting desensitized to this. Either way...

To Hook:]

Fuck you. You're a piece of shit.

[ Hans has heard enough. Hook can deny it all he wants but the truth is obvious. Hans didn't have to sing with him to do that. ]
