... oh. No. I haven't gotten a lot of sleep so I guess I'm just more tired after the trial.

Today's trial was particularly exhausting for some. It's good if you're just tired from not sleeping well, but you should rest once you have the chance.

Maybe later.

[ ... ]

How do you think we did?

[ his gaze loses focus momentarily, and he expels the quietest sigh if there ever was one. ]

Thanks to one of our younger participants, we caught a killer. If everything goes right, someone innocent won't be punished in his stead. All things considered, don't you think we did well?

... mm.

I just wish we didn't it so close.

[ that was. extremely close to the deadline. ]

It was better than the previous week, and we still managed it despite the constant interruptions. It's difficult to see right away, but we've made progress.

I guess I'm glad we caught someone who seems to have been a fucking sociopath.

What does fucking sociopath mean?

He's crazy.

Was he really? An intelligent man like that must have had a reason, detestable though his crimes were.

It's more the way he reacted after he got caught.

That was really unexpected. I never imagined . . .

They were right about him being a good actor... I don't think anyone expected that from him.

If the great gods are to be believed, there could still be another actor among us. I'm afraid the surprises won't end with this week.

... the problem is catching someone like that.

We only got Newt because of someone's power.

It won't be so easy the next time, either. The killer will know to avoid certain questions.

... I can't believe it took this long for someone to use the lie detection skill, actually.

It isn't so surprising. What the young man did was noble, but he had to out himself in the process. If this ability was used in the past, it would have been in private.

Yeah. Who knew Ray was such a martyr?

It won't come to that, I hope. No more juniors should fall for the sake of advancing our ambitions.

... I hope not.

He's very helpful.

[ with a rather troubled look, he nods. that's the problem. ]

He's a valuable participant. Because of that, he might be targeted someday.

... he's capable when it comes to defending himself, but he's also still twelve.

It isn't fair that someone so young has to do all this hard work. Young man, let's watch out for him together.

... I'll try.

He'd probably hit me, but sure.
