week 4 - makoto - saturday, post-trial

[completelycrazy]

[Makoto can find Newt in the Center St. Entrance, sitting next to a busted vending machine with his head in his hands. If he notices her approach, he doesn't show it.]

[justfists]

... Are you alright?

[her words are a bit more confident, though still subdued after the trial.]

[completelycrazy]

[He glances up at her voice.]

Not really. I just skirted death by the skin of my teeth.

[justfists]

[LIKE YOU TRIED TO MAKE YUSUKE THE SUBJECT ONCE...?!?! But no, she's calm in how she presents her feelings here, verrrrry neutral.]

This is what happens when we've only got straws to grasp at.

[if only she had tea to sip]

[completelycrazy]

[He ticks up an eyebrow.]

You think that was grasping at straws?

[justfists]

You don't think the entire trial was like that...?

[completelycrazy]

Not... entirely. [He sighs.]

I didn't do it, but I guess I can't blame people for suspecting me, given the evidence. I think it just means the killers are getting smarter... But we are, too. This went better than our last trial, I'm confident in that much.

[He licks his lips, his voice dropping in volume a little.]

And, um. We got Miki.
