THIRD TRIAL
[ Two bodies this week. As a result, it's a little longer before Mayor Fontaine's voice calls out over the loudspeakers. ]
All right, that'll do, all of you. Get to the bathyspheres. Trial time.
[ There's fewer bathyspheres this week, aren't there? It's starting to get really noticeable. One by one, alone or in pairs, you descend into the depths. The bottom of the seafloor, a place no human life was meant to travel to unassisted. It's dark, until it isn't, the same bio-luminescent slugs as before lighting up the area and revealing the great glass dome in which the trial takes place.
Within, three more podiums have gone dark. They remain empty as you all gather around into the circle.
The projector clicks on, and you see the silhouette of Mayor Fontaine above you. ]
We all know why we're here. Florida Man and Cryptobro got themselves got. Up to you to figure out who did it, or... well, you know by now.

But the facade flickers, for a brief moment in time. For that split second, it's easy to tell from the way his lip wobbles and how his eyes move that his heart is in tatters.]
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I really can't do that here.
[bc guess who he has meals with mostly
hagakure and joy]
It'll bust me wide open.
Can we not? For right now.
I swear I'll stuff my face when we're done.

Well, that much I can understand. So long as you take care of yourself after this.
[It's the Mafuyu Stamp of Approval.]
But, if you start snapping at everyone attempting to look out for you... this will be a very long trial. I think a lot of us are worried for you right now.
...We'll just do our best to get to the bottom of this quickly.

I'm not doin' so great, Mafufu.
[BUT AT LEAST HE'S BEING FUCKING HONEST, CAN WE GIVE THIS TOXICALLY MASCULINE "HOLDING IT IN IDIOT" A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!!!!! GOD]
When I tell ya I'm tryin' my best...
I mean it, I swear.
