—THE SECOND TRIAL—

Once again, at 9 AM sharp, a familiar bell tolls to alert the hour. You've become familiar with the flow of things, haven't you? You know what tod o — find your answers before the final ring chimes. Even if you try to avoid it, eventually your legs will bring you towards where you know you'll have to be. The courtroom doors swing open, welcoming.

Come by again, and it looks just like last week. Take your seat on any one you wish, and peruse the table lined with (non-alcoholic) refreshments and snacks. The same sign, promising a lunch break. And of course, your observers, sitting by the jury's seat shuffling about a stack of papers. Ask your questions and they will answer.

The judge's seat shows the same message as it has always done: "GRANT WE THINE JUDGMENT — ABSOLVE THEE THINE GUILT," and the same, strange, incorporeal form stays seated at the high seat, hand resting unto a gavel's handle.

"Today we will be investigating the cases of: Akeha, Valvatorez, and Vicious. Court is now in session."

The same blue, translucent field prevents you from leaving freely once you're in. You know the drill, don't you?

[Looks directly at her.]

What was that all about?

[emptied]

I... You surprised me, and I thought I saw someone I...

[...

A shake of her head, closing her eyes.]

If you're here to do something about it, just get it over with.

[omegathree]

By... becoming a frog?

[girl, what.]

I'm not the kind of creature that's so immediately vengeful. Your sins will be judged upon your death.

What exactly happened?

[emptied]

[Sometimes, it just be like that.

She doesn't look relieved at the lack of vengeance... If anything, she looks a little disappointed?]

... You already know what happened, Valvatorez-san.

[omegathree]

[You have to work off your sins when you die.]

You transformed me into a frog and stepped on me.

I don't understand what felt threatening about a frog.

[okidoke]

[mouthing what the heck over here]

[omegathree]

[sometimes... there is a froggening]

[transgressors]

[ helpfully from wherever ango is or isn't lying on the ground after his grand revival: ]

I can stab her for ya if ya want.

[omegathree]

Thank you, but I'm perfectly capable of my own stabbing.

[transgressors]

Have fun~!

[alyricalassassination]

Oh. Did you have a tiny frog chest screw?

Is that what happened to it?

[omegathree]

I wasn't a living frog for very long.

I don't know where it went.

[alyricalassassination]

But you had it?

There's a tiny frog sized screw somewhere?

[omegathree]

I suppose so.

[emptied]

... It wasn't the frog that was threatening. I thought I saw something, and I reacted.

[omegathree]

Does this happen to you often?

[emptied]

[.................... looking away fastly!!]

Hasn't this fake world been on the brink of falling apart all week?

[omegathree]

Yes, it has.

I won't press for now. We have other things to worry about.

[emptied]

... Right.

So, what now?

[omegathree]

It seems we have a survey to fill.

[So they should do that!]
