THIRD TRIAL
If you have time for a grisly operation like that, I think you've had all the time you need to gather evidence. Please proceed to the door to the trial room elevator as quickly as possible.
[ Once you arrive, it's the same song and dance as the last two weeks. Angel helps you all get through the vault door and into the elevator, and watches as you all make the slow descent to the dome below. Standing in the elevator is more than a comfortable fit now, even for the largest among you. A few more of you lost and there'll be room enough to pace in here.
But maybe you don't want to think about that.
The dome of the trial room is the same as it's been, the only change the dull red glow coming from the two newly-unoccupied podiums. The screens above flick on, and lower down to make an address. ]
You know the score by now. Find Seteth's killer and you can all go free. Fool them all, killer, and you'll have your life and your reward. Other than that, whatever happens here is between all of you. Call for me if you need anything.
[ The screens rise again, leaving you here.
Welcome to your third trial. ]

[She says it weakly. She's...not even fighting now.]

[ Oh boy, is she ever not good at this... ]
Your— [ shit, what's the word for this one, she's even worse at this part, but at least Della gave her specific nomenclature earlier ] niece is still alive. Your world is still alive. Are you going to choose this over them?
[ Like she's got any room to talk... but it's precisely because she can understand the impulse to retaliate that she phrases her question this way: she's truly asking. ]

Things are.. already done.

But she doesn't think she is, and for this instant she's going to let that be enough and lower Rhea to the ground again, though she doesn't physically release her until after adding the admonishing: ]
Just — don't try anything. [ Honestly, Rhea could probably just coldcock Ema and take the sword back if she really wanted to — but if she wants to throw her life away after the initial fury, that's her call to make. ] I'm not going anywhere.
no subject
...Is she? ]
I'll keep these safe for now, I promise.
