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.]

No...it doesn’t. But I agreed to be apart of this, so I have to accept the consequences, as well.

You heard my confession, right? So you should know how well I understand. Others have offered me forgiveness, so it only seems right to offer it to you in return. After all, I'm sure you wouldn't have agreed if you didn't think it was the only way, right?

..No, I wouldn’t have.

[Her expression softens.]

You’ll really have changed,Akechi-san. I mean it.

I know. It might not outweigh the negative, but one good thing that's come of this is that I'm not the same person I was last month.

[A slight pause.]

The living have been talking about finding a way to bring us back to life...that would interfere with our responsibilities as potential Composers, wouldn't it?

...I don’t know.

[That troubles her.]

The only Composer I met outside of here...I couldn’t personally tell if he was alive or dead.

[...Couldn't tell if he was alive or dead, their boss has been sending messages to the living, Coco can interact with both living and dead.]

People involved in running the Game blur the line, don't they? Coco-chan can function as if she's both, and your boss must be able to as well, in order to send the motives and invite the living for an audience.

Mm, which is why even now I'm still not sure. He never told me, at any rate!

If that's the case...it sounds as if the difference between a living Composer and a dead one would be fairly insignificant, anyway.
