AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk

[There's absolutely nothing celebratory about this drinking party. "Party" isn't even the right word, not really-- it's more like a "drink until you forget and/or black out" session for anyone who wants to participate, and even the bartender isn't immune from that much. Please forgive him if your drink isn't mixed quite right; he's trying his best under the circumstances.
There's food, too, if anyone wants to attempt to stave off a hangover tomorrow, or just get something in their stomach after the events of the day: stirfry from Makoto, vegetable soup from Nageki (mediocre, but hey, a genuine effort was made and that's what counts), and some tea for those who would rather abstain from the harder stuff. (Is that even many people tonight? Probably not.)
Come on by the bar if you're hungry or want a drink, or even if you just don't want to be alone right now. That much, at least, is something that can be guaranteed tonight.]

[ She thinks she gets it, though – it's been nice to not have to hide herself, but the lack of an ability to do anything has long since weighed on her. But it was a moot point, for now. ]
I'm all right, more or less. The last moments of the trial were... hectic, to say the least. [ She looks over at her. ] And you?

[She grimaces.]
I'll apologize before the execution. I think many of us owe him that.
[She didn't even accuse him, just said that she doubted he was the killer and then attempted to taunt a confession out of him in the same breath. She needs to figure out how to turn off guilt, it's been a pain in the ass.]

With as little time that was left, it's understandable that one could potentially draw an unreasonable conclusion. [ ... ] But Lucifer was found out, in the end, so...
[ She trails off, sighing. ]
It's not an excuse for getting sloppy, but if there is any consolation, we are not sending the wrong person to their death this time.
