[wearys]

SATURDAY, post-trial.

[ the void feels uncomfortable under the combined forces of magnus and veronica's stares.

at some point the partners will be in the same vicinity, maybe even before bedtime, who knows. ]

Next week I'll specify that I'd like a confession at all, at any point.

[ that was. shit. good grief. ]

Preferably before the last petal falls, yeah.

[just

buries her face in her hands.]

I don't understand how everything went so wrong.

[wearys]

Even if it's just by a few minutes.

[ deep sighs. ]

Well, probably started with none of us knowing how to solve a murder, much less three?

[opens mouth

closes it

opens it again]

I was going to say we have a detective, but Akechi doesn't count.

[wearys]

He definitely doesn't. I don't know who you voted for, but I threw mine at him. Didn't seem like there were better options.

[asswipe]

... I couldn't do that. Even if he was the "best" [finger quotes] choice, I couldn't put Eichi at risk because we screwed up the evidence.

[wearys]

... Gotta admit, I didn't think of that.

[ but he also can't get the image of eichi drowning ann out of his head, even if that wasn't the dude's fault really, so, either way, ]

Maybe next week we'll catch this week's killers, too. Somehow.

[asswipe]

Maybe they'll get a seriously delayed sudden onset of guilt and confess.
