From what you can see, all the lights in the opera house are turned on. Only when you enter and see the open doors that lead into the main theater, you can see that room's lights are currently turned off. It's very dark in there.

Like before, Rembrandt escorts everybody to the stage. In the dark you still can see the many blue-eyed things you may be getting used to. They're still very scared of Rembrandt, staying as far away from the assistant as possible. The stage is illuminated by the spotlights, the only light in this theater.

The Lady and Rembrandt are at their balcony. She stands up, addressing the group:

"This time we don't need any introductions, do we? Let's make this an interesting trial, just like last week. Give me a name! Who is the killer this time?"

Short and sweet. Will the Lady give you that offer later? Only time will tell.

Let the trial for the death of Lysithea von Ordelia begin.

[OOC NOTE: From the halfway point of the trial and onwards, you'll have the option to ask the masterminds for the chance to get a hint! Be warned, though: the price will involve some body horror for your character. Keep that in mind when deciding to use this option!]

[oh, what? Suzaku sees what he's getting at now, but he shakes his head.]

That's a misunderstanding, Mr. Dazai. You were specifically showing me a pink dress. It reminded me of something.

[a beat.]

...Of someone.

[deadlygoals]

Oh? I guess that's my bad then~

[raventhaw]

...I'll admit, Dazai, this is the closest lead we have right now. It's not one we should dismiss so easily.

[youspinmeknightround]

Then let me prove my innocence. I'll take the hint instead of Seteth.

[baitless]

What? No. I'm taking the hint.

[youspinmeknightround]

You shouldn't have to. If I'm the prime suspect, then it should be my duty to clear myself of suspicion.

[inordertobelieve]

[ He's pointing at his watch now. ]

Whoever of us is taking it should hurry or the chance will be forfeit entirely.

[soulspice]

[The Lady stands up]

You're running out of time. Have you both taken a decision?

[baitless]

Yes. I'll take it.

cw suicidal ideation

[youspinmeknightround]

[Somehow, that's not too comforting. He's unsettled that Dazai would point at him, really, finding himself unable to simply let that go.]

...I wouldn't have done this. Not even for her. If it were that simple for me to decide, I wouldn't have been wishing someone else would end me back then.

[deadlygoals]

We have to explore all possibilities, even the harder ones.

[ He definitely gets wishing someone would end it all. ]

[p_q]

Spare us your appeals for sympathy. How many do you think would be willing to take your word alone?

[It's a tough audience out there.

He's here to help with lizard end, evidently.]

[youspinmeknightround]

I don't intend that, believe me.

[but then Seteth took the hint anyway so vOv]

[p_q]

[SO ZETTA SLOW--]

[baitless]

[...

FUCK THIS IF DAZAI WAS RIGHT ON THIS LEAD, ACTUALLY, BUT-]

Would you be comfortable discussing who?

[youspinmeknightround]

[no, but he will]

Her name was Euphemia li Britannia. I was her knight. Very recently, she was forced to perpetrate an enormous massacre... when he showed me that dress, I simply thought I should keep it safe. I would hate to see someone else use it in one of these terrible ordeals.

[baitless]

[what the fuck, my dude]

...That's... awful, really.

[..."forced to," huh.]

Who was behind it, then? Do you know?

[youspinmeknightround]

He is already in custody.

[baitless]

...I see.

[but, like, you could erase that from happening.......]

[youspinmeknightround]

He was... my best friend....

[so he MIGHT NOT WANNA DO THAT]

[baitless]

...I see.

[wow, you're even more a Fodlan kid than he thought]

I'm... sorry to pry.
