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?

EXECUTION: Git Gud Scrub
She stops at a blood red cabinet with a cartoon-y wolf printed on the side. 'Little Riding Hood' is sprayed on the side of the cabinet. The 'camera' shifts to the Cat's point of view.
The screen is a cutesy pixel forest with a very realistic Yuniko in it. She kicks at the scenery as if to check it out. She looks very unimpressed by the whole situation. Even as the Cat picks up the machine's plastic pistol. Several shots are fired.
Yuniko stands in the middle of the screen still looking unimpressed. She crosses her arms and puts her chin up, looking like she's ready to go a few rounds with the so-called player. There's something sardonic in her grin, though -- maybe her usual smarm, maybe something else.
Then the Cat fires one last round. Right into Yuniko's heart, and her smile widens into a true one for a split second as she closes her eyes. There's a pause as the screen flickers and blood oozes from the cabinet's coin slot. Then the blood retreats back into the cabinet as the level restarts. This scene replays many, many times. Ten? Twenty? A hundred? All the time a cheerful song is playing.
Even if it repeats so many times it's clear Yuniko Kouzuki is dead.
Eventually, the high score screen shows and most of the names are Kouzuki except for the final one: Nursery Rhyme.]

But he looks like he's... disappointed. In himself, perhaps?]
...I really am just becoming... a monster. Right? [He spoke aloud to no one in particular, but he was facing the ghost jury.]
