The trial chamber air is thick enough to choke on. Harsh fluorescent light bleaches every face at the podiums, carving deep shadows under their eyes. The scent of cold sweat and dread hangs in the stillness. Ryoma’s portrait stares blankly from the monitor, his execution fresh in everyone’s mind. All attention has narrowed to you. Kaede’s voice breaks, barely more than a breath. "Y-you wouldn’t do that… would you, you?" Maki’s stare is a silent blade, unyielding. The suffocating silence waits for your answer.
