Fourth Trial

[ After the evidence (and what a large batch of evidence it is, this time) has been gathered up, after actually patiently waiting a longer time than usual to make sure everything's been grabbed, the speakers over New Rapture crackle to life. ]

Time's up, everyone. You know where to go.

[ The lower number of bathyspheres, as you descend, is starting to become really notable, isn't it? The descent is the same as ever, lower and lower into the sea. The bioluminescence of those slugs on the ocean floor is almost brighter today, somehow, and some of them have even crawled up the cliff face around you as you pass them.

The dome approaches, slowly as ever, gleaming red in the darkness. The bathyspheres land in a row, doors opening one by one to reveal the familiar sight of the trial room, three more podiums now darkened. ]


Take your places, ladies and gentlemen. You've got a doozy of a situation to discuss. Ass Man and Silver Fox are dead. You know what happens if you can't figure out whodunnit.

[ Welcome to your fourth trial. ]

You think.

[...]

...Is that why you came to visit me in the clinic?

Yes.

[ ........... ]

I haven't been able to feel much since I've been dead. It's a penalty, like a curse? As best as I can understand it. Among other things.

...I can understand that. Well, I'm alive, of course. Just... I'm kind of the same, I think.

[she does not elaborate!!!]

To be clear, since you didn't come this far just for me to lie to you, but... this really was stupid of you. More so than the last case, I think.

Maybe because I expected...

Oh. I see.

I'm disappointed in you.

[ ... ]

There's some things I really can't help like this. [ He thinks on that for a moment. ]

That's a terrible answer, isn't it? [ He laughs. ] Well it's the best I can do right now~.
