EXECUTION IV

Execution IV

Today is another day, today is Sunday, and therefore brings execution tidings. After last week no one would blame you if you decide to skip out on these ghastly proceedings, but perhaps the sentenced are worth this much.

The first magical barrier holds two women: one of course being Rika, and the other Edelgard, despite (or perhaps in spite of) the words exchanged between the two at trial on Friday. The second magical barrier holds Moriarty with Koto opposite him, the difference in stature large enough to be some kind of cruel joke which is just Hamelin's style.

And Hamelin for his part is there of course, seemingly in good spirits even with an extra sharpness in his eyes. No one has forgotten what happened here last weekend, but the story must go on.
