Take Responsibility.

[antitrust]

After a while, the door at the bottom of those stairs unlocks and it swings open gently of its own accord, allowing everyone back down into the courtroom; it's not as bad as it was last week, but again, there are decidedly fewer of them than there were last time. The podium circle has changed once again, with Rick, Tabby and Sukuyo joining the ranks of the deceased, their podiums draped with black cloth and adorned with greyscale photographs. The shadows are quiet down in the darkness of the pit; for the time being, it's hard to say what the pit itself looks like after the explosion last week. One way or another, we'll find out by the end of the day. As usual, the proceedings are being watched from behind that panel of glass behind podium 30; he'll speak as soon as everyone has found their place in the circle. "Familial has been taken from you. Regardless of what her affiliation was – whether she was with me or the lot of you – you know what you have to do by now. There can be no hesitation; you should offer no mercy. It's you against the guilty. Take control of your fate, and hold them responsible." Ten Participants remain. However many more we lose today is up to you.

Maybe Observant told her something to change her mind, but...you know what, fuck giving up hope, we've made it this far and we've lost this many people, and I'm not fucking going to put up with any more of this shit from you assholes. No one else is fucking allowed to give up hope and murder someone, this is getting stupid. We're officially starting a 12-step program, and all of the steps are DON'T MURDER.

The extra step is: if you still feel like fucking murdering after reading the last twelve steps, go find Sol or Bakugou so they can knock you unconscious for your own fucking good.

[ HELLO WE'RE THE TEENAGE ASSHOLE SQUAD AND WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE QUALIFIED TO RESIST THE URGE TO KILL, GOOD NIGHT ]

Oh, yeah, no, I'm really just done with all of this. Do we need proof that you can just not murder people and resist the impulse...?
