Well... people can be driven to panic, when they are trapped in a corner. It could be as simple as he wasn't thinking.

Or he could have been manipulated in some way, but that one we can't really say.

Yeah, maybe. Didn't look panicked to me, though.

[ but he shrugs ]

But if this is how we start off trials, I've got a bad feeling about what's going to follow.

It's going to get worse. That much is certain.

[ the chaos of when there's multiple murders and evidence starts to overlap ]

What were executions like for you?

... Different method every week. Themed with whatever world we were tied to. [ guillotine flashbacks. he shakes his head ] One person was picked at random to go through with finishing it.

I see...

Back at the camp, someone was randomly chosen as well. But the other thing that was randomized was the weapons used. It would range from something deadly to... pens...

... So you had fights to the death with... pens...?

Yeah... yeah.

That was rough to watch.

Yeah, I bet.

[ yikes. ]

We didn't have fights. Just one guy had to pull the metaphorical trigger. [ and sometimes. real. trigger. taako. ] Wonder what all the other ones were like.

We can find out, but... we will probably find out tomorrow.

[ by how everyone reacts to whatever is planned ]

... Yeah. Though if it's a fight, I doubt he'll lay down his weapons that quick.

Probably not.

Hopefully whoever is chosen is also skilled.

... Think he can pick and choose his executioner?

[ he killed one teenage girl so cloud is wondering if there's a possibility he could go for another ]
