THIRD TRIAL

To the court room. Make it quick, alright? I don't really know about any of you but I don't want to waste more time on a couple of bratty teenagers.

[The Queen still is silent as you descend to the court room. There are ten less of you than when you began. The podiums look empty as you go to them. Even if the podiums are getting empty, though, there is a new jury box near the Alices that is rather full... of ghosts of all the participants of the previous round you've discovered and of your dead compatriots. They don't talk but they're there. Judging. Always judging.

There is someone who doesn't notice this addition, though. Queen Alice.

The Queen is quiet but she's next to the Cat. Her head is bowed to her chest as she seems to sleep quietly. Then as movement she jolts up, smiling vaguely as she nods.]


Yes, a tea party--that's what we...need...

[Her head drops back to her chest as she falls asleep again. The Cat glances at her then back at the crowd with agitation.]

Someone is responsible for Lena and Neku's deaths. Do something about it, will you? Why did you even bring one of those ghosts in with you, anyway?

Ah-- sorry, I didn't mean to speak over you. This should be the diagram the journal referred to, then.

No, no, not at all. [She politely dismisses the apology.]

Lena-san did say that she had amassed a small collection of knives over the course of the game. But...whose handwriting is this?

[ Having glanced through the journal by now... ]

It doesn't match the earlier pages, so was she collaborating with someone else? I guess that would explain the diagram. No one would need to draw out a picture of such a basic trap for themselves, but if they were communicating an idea to someone else...

Then...someone would have delivered instructions to her through this notebook, knowing she could act on them.

We've established that someone acting as an accomplice doesn't benefit from the rules, haven't we? Then...Who could have convinced Lena-san of such a thing? Why write it down, more than that?

Maybe it had to do with the amulet? Since they're both purple.
