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?

The shots that landed do seem very precise, however...

[ Unless that was some weird aunt shit too somehow??? who knows ]

Last time, the culprit not being strong enough to fully carry a body came up. This could very well be an intentional diversion, as Number One-san indicated.
no subject
[ Hm.
...Well, he'll just go ahead and voice this possibility at this point. ]
I think she was likely dragged on some of the swimsuits, since they had both smeared blood and sand on them. That would most likely either point to Amdi or to someone trying to frame him, right? He would have only been able to move her by dragging her, and if he did it by using the swimsuits as... sort of a sleigh or wagon, I guess, there wouldn't have been bite marks on Lena or her clothes like there would have been otherwise.
no subject
I don't want to discount him without merit, either, but I'm wondering about the gun...?
[Can dogs. Can dogs shoot.]

We should pursue that theory until it yields more information or falls apart.
I wonder if he would have been able to restrain hard enough to cause that bruising. Of those of us who remain, the list of those who might have the strength is certainly shorter. Seven-san, myself, Mizuki Okiura-san, Dark Dream-san?
[Is she missing anyone?]

I wondered if it was a missed shot, but I'm not sure how that would play in. If there was a chase, you'd think we'd see more disturbed footprints. ....Granted, Neku could float, but I don't think Lena could.
no subject
[She gestures meaningfully at Amdi, because they apparently don't have a single normal animal or anthropomorphic animal in this place??]

Unfortunately, we don't yet know what Lena was capable of, with our without the influence of this "aunt" she referred to.
The shooter may have approached them when they were focused on each other.

If he was taken off guard by the trap Lena-san - or her aunt - devised, could he have dropped it?

We'd need to determine who might be strong enough to do that... It's so difficult to imagine an altercation like that playing out and someone still being able to deliver a fatal shot like the wound we have.
