Sixth Trial
[ After a time, as always, your investigation is interrupted by the Mayor's now-familiar voice, calling out to you over the loudspeakers. ]
And that's gonna be time. Pack it in, everyone, bring what you're gonna bring because it's trial time.
[ There are so many bathyspheres missing, you cannot help but notice, as you all pile into the station for your standard trip down to the trial room. Your number has dipped to about a third of its original size - a fact that becomes even more evident when you reach the circle of podiums at the bottom of New Rapture's ocean trench. ]
You all know why you're here. Someone killed Pillage Idiot, and it's your job to figure out who. This is your sixth one, I sure hope you have the procedure down by now.
[ Welcome to your sixth trial. ]

Was it only your father?

Besides, she was my hostage during the first week. I also knew she was about to die, and could have prevented her death with the timeline alteration incentive. If I were going to kill for Midori, I would have done it weeks ago.

I want to believe you. I do.
[there's an unsaid "but" hanging out there...]
no subject
[That's...his composure cracks and he's yelling, the sound desperate and crackling, his voice rough.]
Do you think any part of me would want that?!
no subject
Who else could have done it, then? No one else has turned up anything out of the ordinary, and you did investigate.
[...please, give him something. he doesn't want to do this.]

Even if you are primarily a healer, you are still familiar with warfare. Before my arrival, I fought someone who primarily focused on healing magic, yet was familiar with a variety of disciplines and effectively lost to him.
You are not the same person, I am aware. And yet... it is not impossible that you could have more skills than simply magic. And again, no one else has shown anything out of the ordinary...
