SECOND TRIAL
Trial II
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!]

[ Then at that last comment, he'll nod. ]
I know, you told me.
[ Rean will check out pretty much everything—the murder had happened not that long ago, so he's particularly looking to see if anything looked bruised/like the injury had been very, very recent versus a couple of days ago.
Just because he was thorough like that, staring with arms, then also his chest, and then his neck. ]
cw: eluding to suicide attempt
He'll let him remove any additional bandages. He'll find there's a couple of patched up places. If he removes those, he'll find there's wounds that have signs of being healed. Some of them, particularly the ones on his sides, look like they were reopened, but began to heal again. They are all a couple weeks old. There's a superficial bruise on his chest that looks like it's from a few days ago.
All the other scars and marks on him are older than that, and some of them may hint to being self inflicted if he's familiar with those kind. The neck, wrists, and arms in particular could show that.]

There's a lot to unpack here, but at least none of this is new/suspicious. So for now, he'll table it and focus on the primary resolution here. ]
You're all set, Dazai.

Stay there a little longer so I can get decent again.
[ He makes quick work of it, being used to keep himself under wraps for quite some time. ]
