[ He's standing there after the trial, hasn't left the opera house yet and just looking around. There's a lot to digest about what just happened. ]

It kind of feels surreal...

[ Mumbling to himself. ]

[perfectdistance]

[Man. He looks equal parts tired and confused.]

's that what all trials are like?

[sponsoredby]

[ Shakes his head ]

Not even close. Investigations aren't even that crazy.

[perfectdistance]

Gonna guess 9 hours for all of it ain't the standard.

Long trials are one thing... But having to do an investigation at the same time? Normally each side has their evidence already gathered.

[perfectdistance]

You mean we aren't supposed to do all of it at once? No wonder that was a mess.

[sponsoredby]

Not at all. But I guess they don't really care about that kind of thing. Unless trials are different in different places.

[perfectdistance]

Don't really have 'em where I'm from.

Not a lot of crime, or...?

[perfectdistance]

Place I live has a lotta laws and nobody wants to get caught breakin' 'em. People keep to themselves.

[sponsoredby]

That's pretty impressive, actually. Laws don't always make people listen.

[perfectdistance]

's a pretty conscientious group.

How big of a group is it?

[perfectdistance]

It's a normal sized city.

[Of people who don't want to talk to each other.]

[ That could mean various things, but he won't press for exact numbers. ]

Then that's even more respectable. You saw what can happen even at a small number of 40.

[ a little dryly ]

[perfectdistance]

Nobody wanted to end up here.

[But even then jumping to murder and eating a dude is. So Much.]

No, but we could have at least worked together to get back to where we belong. I just hope we can get back on track with that.

[perfectdistance]

Do you think it'll happen?

[sponsoredby]

I hope it'll happen. And I'm going to try to make it happen.

[perfectdistance]

Lemme know how that goes.

[sponsoredby]

Why, are you volunteering to help?

[perfectdistance]

I don't remember sayin' that.

[Maybe.]

[sponsoredby]

No, but just wondering why you'd want an update otherwise.

[perfectdistance]

I'd like to get back home, but I ain't exactly a people person.

You do seem like you get exhausted from things happening here.
