a wild meme appears || Maemi || Trial 3.1 || RE: a lot of things
The trial had been going more slowly than Maemi would have liked–but she’d definitely take it over the chaos of the last trial. Not much had happened for this meme. She had helped Daisy to her podium before the trial started, giving Akira a pat on the head while she was over there. She went back to her podium, and just…listened, for the most part.
She’d had so much fire in her when she saw Theo’s body like that. She wanted to get vengeance for him, right? She wanted justice! Of course, she hadn’t done enough investigation to feel very confident. She’d taken a break to talk with Akira, and before she’d realized, it was time for the trial to start. Nice. Nice meme. A+ job avenging your dead friend.
Regardless, Maemi found herself nodding a bit as Haruko spoke. Aside from the idea that Greg was involved in the killings, she had come to a similar conclusion herself, but… It didn’t feel right to accuse Takumi, somehow.
He seemed so nice and polite when they spoke, right? She felt so much anger and...hatred toward the culprit right now–and she didn’t want to feel that way about Takumi. So she waved her hand in an attempt to get the group’s attention before sounding off. There’s no way she wanted this trial to be as chaotic as the last one–Theo deserved so much better than that! They absolutely had to find the killer!
That won’t happen if she can’t stay calm, right? Keep it together, Murakami…
“Mm…Ueno-kun’s right, I can attest to that much… Theo mentioned before that he doesn’t…didn’t spend a lot of time in his room, or with his roommate–and when I hung out in their room with the two of them, the air between them seemed kind of weird, like they were strangers.”
“But…Ueno-kun, that doesn’t do much to clear you of suspicion. Don’t you have more proof? An alibi, or something? I mean, Theo spends so little time in his room that it’s kind of weird for his things to be in there in the first place… I mean, if he was in his room, that’d be a perfect opportunity. I’ve seen Ueno-kun signing with him before, so he probably wouldn’t need his notebook if Ueno-kun were to lead him out somewhere… Someone wouldn’t have to be close to him to do that much…”
Is that a little anger seeping out at the end, there? Don’t jump to conclusions, or things will get bad, right? Maemi instead allowed her fingers to wrap around the edge of her podium, hands shaking a bit in response. Just look at the ground instead. Boy, that sure is a nice floor. A+ quality flooring materials you have here.
