Final Exposition / An / ATTN: All
The votes rolled in, and An held his breath. He hoped hard that Soren and Lucy hadn't swayed the others. Makoto seemed to be standing fast, but would that be enough?
He'd meant to sigh with relief when a majority cane in, but instead, he gasped when Masae's podium went off. After processing what had happened, he looked over there with a sad smile.
Thankfully, the vote was all but unanimous. An smiled, a little less sadly this time. "Thank you, everyone. I can practically guarantee that you won't be bothered by the Inquisitores against your will. Same goes for anyone associated with me. Though, if you seek them out yourselves, that's your problem.
" Also! Before I forget, this is crucial to your release. There is a laptop, and it contains the codes to stop the lockdown. The key to your release is AIZAWA."
He took one final glance at everyone in the trial room, and nodded. "So, go on with your lives. I know it won't be easy by any means, but you're alive; you can still pick up the pieces. As for me..." He turned his head skywards, looking at the ceiling. "Hopefully, I'll get to see my sister again."
