[PLOT] The Results!

[Krampusuke]

"Alright! No more voting! The polls are clooooooosed. Now then, let's count the votes."

The results are projected onto a giant screen in the back of the room, showing that almost all of the votes were for Suzuki.

"And you got it right! Who would have thought, the deceased was the culprit all along!! Well, not actually... Not that he didn't do it, but in that he wasn't actually deceased!"

He let out a little giggle before continuing.

"And the dirty mutt is right, Suzuki was secretly working with the Mastermind! To think, someone a few of you considered to be a friend was working with your greatest enemy all along. How positively horrible..."

He looked down, a little upset.

"Well... I guess this does put a damper on our plans, though... Suzuki was supposed to join us, BUT..."

He stamped the handle of his pitchfork on the ground feverishly.

"I'm sorry Mastermind-san, I know Suzuki was your friend, but a traitor is a traitor. And tonight, Suzuki will face the ultimate punishment for both the betrayal of the establishment as well as murdering Ishida Takane!"

It was time to say your last goodbyes to Suzuki Hayato.

[Ootani Yakumo]

And.... they were all right.

Well, almost all of them, but that wasn't the point.

Rubbing his face, he stares at the screen before focusing his stare right onto the murderer. Despite how tired he was, his mind kept going at one hundred miles per hour-- especially now that he had time to just... process everything.

One. Ishida was dead. Suzuki was not.

Two. Suzuki faked his own death to work with the mastermind..., but wanted to betray the mastermind as well.

Three. He... was the killer.

Plain and simple, now that he thought on it. Though with the way this entire trial had went, he was ridiculously tired at this point.

He takes off his hat, combing through his hair with his right hand. The only comfort he could afford in a time like this, contemplating and what exactly to say to Suzuki. There really wasn't any chance to hang out with the Engineer, nor did he he hang out with Ishida for that matter, so it was difficult to find any words to say.

Deciding that he couldn't find any words, Ootani looks away with a frown.
