FINAL INVESTIGATION

Morning comes on Friday, just like any other.

Or not. You're all still alive. The walls have held. You all have held.

One way or another, this is the last day you're going to be in here. You've spent so long at the whims of the man who owns this place, so long playing along with this game...

Wouldn't it be nice to beat him?

Time to investigate.

[ gay if true

Rin tries Angel. ]

[ The door opens, and you can almost feel Cassandra's last shred of dignity pass through with the rush of air... ]

[What's in here what's in here what's in here what's in here]

[ It's uh... a completely blank white room. ]

...Huh.

[He'll step inside, because he broke the toilets today and thus can die a fulfilled man. About how big is the room? What are the walls and floor made of?]

[ Some kind of... plastic, maybe? Metal? There's no echo in here, which is weird.

But there is a strong electronic hum. ]

[ Rin understands everything now.

So, anyway, behind the door is... ]

[ Hm. ]

[ Golly, that sure is weird! Rin's just... going to knock on a wall, to test how weird the acoustics in here are. ]

[ Ah, that seems to do something! A floating holographic screen shows up in front of her: ]

SELECT EXECUTIONER?

[ !

Is there a... list of names under that? Can she scroll through? ]

[ Yup! There's a listing for everyone - including Angel and Cassandra, weirdly enough? Seems like you pick for the person. ]

[ Are there any unfamiliar names, or is it just their group plus those two? ]

...Hey, Therion. Remember when I talked to you about VR?

[ Just this group and them, yep! ]

[ Cool, great. No other options given here? Because Rin is a little reluctant to select anything to see if there's more to do in this menu! ]

[ There's a little counter above that's at "1" out of 3 - maybe it's like ordering a pizza and you need to go through the steps! ]

[ Okay... Well, if there's no way to page ahead without picking, she'll at least select someone who isn't here! Like... Della Duck. ]

[ who's this guy? ]

[ ......

She shouldn't do this. She absolutely shouldn't.

Rin unselects Della and selects Rin Tohsaka. ]

Of course I do.

[He stoops to try to scratch at the floor with a combat knife, to see if it'll do a thing.]

Technology to create a made-up space for just your mind. Right?

I think the executions we've been watching are a... projected VR. Hard light stuff, like Jasper or Rose's bodies.

You can tell just from this?

Look at this menu.

[ She jabs a finger toward the words "Select Executioner." ]

...

[Well.]

Try my name. If Cassandra's had to do this every time, I think we'll be all right if we stay over here.

[ Rin shrugs at that. ]

It's safer to go through it for someone who isn't here at all. But if you want to see...

[ Rin selects Therion. ]
