Fifth trial
[Just as you believe you’ve gathered enough to make a case, the sky crackles a hazy red.]
Enough! Enter the arena at once!
[There’s a change in Typhon’s tone. The bluster of his usual pride replaced with a more tangible frustration. Like the thunder he summons, his rage punctuates every word.
That matter aside, all the survivors eventually return to the arena. The mood is dour, not helped by the surrounding. For the first time, this place was a fresh murder scene; bloodstains and scorch marks continue to stain the stones. It seems that there just wasn't time to remove Ferdinand's body from the scene. So it remains, impaled on his own spear, left to fill the void of Ferdinand's absence from the surviving party in the worst way.
Again, a rift opens beyond the barrier, and Typhon forces his head through.]
You know why you are here, do you not? Now, go! Complete your task, find the culprit or die trying!
[TRIAL START]

[Have the most awkward hug in return. Pat pat.]
S- ...sorry.
[Say something? This feels like the time to say something.]
I'll. I won't leave. If I have a choice.
1/2
[There's no way Vanity can guarantee that. Especially with the case before them right now.
But right now, Aoi wants to believe in something, despite the hopelessness and pain creeping in.
She wants to believe in the people she cares about.]

I'll hold you to that. ...Quark'd be real upset if you did.
no subject
[Vanity's done that enough. ...Aoi is considering if she'll have to sit nearby during that lecture to make sure Quark isn't too hard on her.]
no subject
[She just. Thousand yard stares for a second.]
[And then blinks, considering Aoi for a second. Specifically the way some of their past conversations have gone, vis a vis literalness-]
I'd, uh. I might be upset too.
