Exam 3
[ Once again, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...
...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.
Today Han is absent-- only Megumi is present at the front of the classroom. ]
Today you are responsible for finding the culprit responsible for the death of Maya Fey, the Apprentice Falsely Accused.
Your exam begins now.
[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. ]
Examination START.

[He moves to cover his ears with his hands, as if trying to drown out Rebecca's yelling.]
I-I always sung lullabies for her and-- and I know shes dead but...
[one day hell remember that she didnt fucking die]
no subject
She pushes through it. ]
Damn it, Stuart.
no subject
[though there's another part to it he hasn't said yet but he's not sure if nows the time?? but hes a dumbass and hes gonna die so]
...I also just.. I-I couldn't... h-handle not being able to talk to you anymore. Or hear your voice.
[because he was starting to like her
maybe even love]
no subject
Don't... Don't you even try and say there's even a little of this in here for me. Don't...!
no subject
1/2
...Is that the kind of person she could be? ]
2/2
[ Rebecca's up on her feet, storming past the few desks separating them to slap 2-D across the face.
...please assume this takes place before he gets beat to shit by ososmatsu ]
no subject
The moment she slaps 2-D it feels like -- well a slap to the face, obviously. But more than that, it feels like a punch to the gut. A twist to the heart. It's absolutely deserved, even his stupid mind can understand that but it doesn't make him hurt any less. And he just stands there, unmoving. Doesn't even cry anymore because he just doesn't even know how to react to this.]
no subject
Selfish. That's just...completely selfish.
[ She feels sick to her stomach and just...walks away. ]
no subject
Just when he doesn't think this guy can't get any more nuts. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
I wonder how she'd feel, knowing you did something like this?
[ He doesn't, honestly, even if he doesn't know this person. Terra has a good idea already...you know, if they're sane. ]
no subject
[Maya's already dead, and he already feels guilty enough. Why else did he bury her in the first place?]
no subject
It's never enough.
2D doesn't seem to comprehend that it's not just about him--about his own pain for what he's done. Terra had known Maya for months, and here 2D was, acting like begging could bring her back.
And it wasn't just him who had cared about Maya. ]
I bet Maya asked the same thing, didn't she? For you to stop. But you didn't listen, so why should I?
[ That's kind of cold, but it's true. A sudden thought occurs to him. Maybe he should make him say he's sorry. If he really wanted to plead so much, why not make him beg for forgiveness--
When he realizes what he's thinking, he takes a pause in the thought, taking a breath to clear his head. ]
... Nevermind, I'll leave it for now.
[ And then he'll finally turn his attention away from him. ]
