THIRD TRIAL

[despairection]

[Ashley Blair, the SHSL Witch-in-Training, is dead. She's had her life snuffed out, but how and why? It's a murder both mysterious and menacing.

Portraits of Betrayus and Ashley, depicted in monochrome coloring, stand at their podiums. But more importantly, the courtroom this time is an exact and functional replica of the Eggman Factory. If only for the evidence they'll never be able to move...

Will they be able to use this evidence to find the truth? Or will the culprit's confusing conundrum get the best of them?

10 students remain.]



[Let the class trial in the murder of Ashley Blair...begin.]

What wouldn't we understand? Yomiel, we're all in this together, you can talk to us.

[He lets out a choked laugh.]

Ha! Talk to you? What a joke. What a joke! I-I couldn't...talking wouldn't...

Just shut up. Shut up!

If you think we wouldn't understand, that's exactly what my suggestion Thursday was for. I wanted us to be able to trust each other, Yomiel. To have a chance to share things on our own terms, to help people understand what we've lived through and done, and why.

[He just laughs again, like he's heard some joke that only he understands.]

You wouldn't be able to trust me. Hell, I wouldn't trust myself.

Not... trust yourself?

[What does that mean? Does Yomiel have uncontrollable tendencies or something?]

Forgotten who you're talking to? I'm a devil, I was born in the underworld. I've been an actual supervillain. Whatever you've done, you think I haven't seen worse? Maybe I've even done worse, I told you guys my hands aren't clean.
