Take Responsibility.

[trustbound]

Once again, as people finish their investigations and make their way toward the door at the bottom of those stairs in the dorms, the door down there is unlocked once again. It opens as though of its own volition, with a loud clicking sound and a soft outward swing, not firmly enough to harm anyone who might be standing in the way but enough to give them some slight encouragement to move. The stairwell it leads to is once again dark, the only light coming in from the courtroom below, if it can really properly be called that. It stands as cold and unforgiving as it did last week, all concrete and steel and the podium circle in the center, surrounding the darkened pit in the middle. Nothing can be seen down there for the time being; it simply seems like a large black hole leading nowhere. Three more podiums have joined Jean's in being arranged differently from the rest; Caren, Yosuke, and Chitoge have all joined the ranks of the deceased, their podiums draped in black with their profile portraits sitting atop them, greyed-out and watching the room with unseeing eyes. The thirty-sixth podium remains empty and blank, as always. Once everyone has found their place in the circle, the public-address system comes to life once more, and after a moment Jericho's voice can be heard "Dexterous has been taken from you; seems like a lot of you were friends with her, and you all know why you're here by now and what you're supposed to do. So hopefully you guys won't be disrespectful assholes again and expect me to make you give a damn this time! Be self-centered about it all you want, just do your jobs. After all, it's in your best interests to do that. As always, do your best - I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes." Thirty-one Participants remain. However many are left at the end of the day is up to you.

And you don't think she could be lying right now to protect that same person?

[His eyebrow twitches at that last comment, but other than a frown he's not speaking up. He's trying really hard not to rise to that bait right now.]

I actually agree with Aligula, I don't think Blue's got anyone to protect like that. Honestly, the fact Chitoge had her sleep over is the weirdest part of this to me.

[notaccurate]

It just doesn't sit right with me. Something is wrong here, and we should do our due diligence to find out the full truth first. Even if Blue is the murderer, something is not right.

[matchbreaker]

Oh, I don't disagree there. Hell, with how careful she'd been in my estimation, I'd be less surprised if someone was threatening her.

[notaccurate]

That is a possibility too. Though I'm not sure what someone here could threaten her with, as we all would be dead if we vote wrong anyway. It isn't as though her life would be saved by helping a murderer, if she were indeed innocent.
