FINAL TRIAL

[When the doors open, the killed also find themselves allowed into the Room of Reckoning as well. And - similar to the living - they, too, have a table, with their own names and places and sitting pillows. They, too, receive the note on their phones with a ping.

The dead, however, have something else that the living do not have.

They can see that there is someone sitting on the gold pillow by the stairs.]

[ She looks a bit young to use that honorific, but if she’s some kind of supernatural being then appearances could be deceiving...

His head hurts.]

Okay... should we just call you Conductor-san, or...?

[If Victor wasn’t there with him, if he hadn’t remembered the confidence he’s gained over the last several months, he might not sound ever so slightly sassy.]

[strangerpeople]

I've been going by Kana, if you're all right with that. We don't have to be so formal!

[katsufemmefatale]

Kana? Um, okay, if that’s really fine with you. I guess you can just call me Yuuri, then.

[He finds his seat, relieved that Victor is assigned to the seat beside him. He’s a bit concerned that Akechi is on Victor’s other side, though. Even with Yuuri forgiving the teenager, he’s worried that his coach might not be so understanding.]

I hope we’re finally going to get some answers... and maybe a chance to live again.

[strangerpeople]

...I hope so too. This round...it's been so different.

No Players has been given access to this room before, after all!

[udivlyat]

That's very kind of you, Kana. I'm curious though... why did you invite us here?

[strangerpeople]

Ah, thank you, Nikiforov-san! It wasn't all me, though.

My Boss wanted to see everyone in person. She's not been unaffected by this round, either.

[udivlyat]

I see, I see. Then your boss is here as well now?

[strangerpeople]

She is....she’s just getting ready, I think.

[katsufemmefatale]

Is she permitted to tell us more than you're allowed to?

[strangerpeople]

Mm, if she chooses to!

[katsufemmefatale]

I hope she does, because at this point, I really think we're owed some serious explanation.

[He's not nasty about it, just firm and more than a bit concerned.]
