TRIAL IV

Trial IV


The story presses onward as you gather in this now familiar "courtroom" to deliberate the deaths of two more of your number. By now there's more space for everyone with the population dwindling down to twenty, and by this weekend's end it will dip ever further. But maybe in a time like this more space is needed, though one most always be mindful of the clock.

Adora and Norton Campbell are dead, and the price must be repaid.

[ Step aside grown-ass men because Yuri reaches out to give Rika a tight hug. ]

I know how tired you are, my lady. I know.

Yuri...

[Rika can't help it. She breaks down sobbing in the arms of her friend, the person who's understood her fight for so long.]

We...we're not going to see each other again. Even if we escaped here, the worlds we're from won't meet. I shouldn't have...ended up caring about you so much...

Even if - [ Her voice breaks, and she has to stop, pressing her trembling lips together. When she speaks again, it’s with a sob and tears trailing helplessly one after the other. ]

Even so, I won’t forget you. That’s how it is for us, right? We don’t forget. I will never stop believing in the strength of your kind heart. I will never stop hoping for your happiness.

Yuri, you...I-I don't ever want to forget you...

[The promise to never forget just makes Rika sob harder.]

Promise you won't follow me. Promise you won't let this place break you...

I promise.

[ That, at least, Yuri can do. ]

I promise. I promise. I promise. [ Fiercer each time she repeats it, holding Rika closer. ] It won't break me, and I won't give up on you either.
