                   Socks was extremely anxious as he walked into the court room. This would decide his fate once and for all. Seeming to sense his anxiety, Blaza put a hand on his shoulder. Socks appreciated it, but it was still nerve wracking. He didn't have to look up to sense the stares as he was led into his seat.

                                                        "Okay then." Laff cleared his throat. "Let's begin, shall we?"

                  Blaza sat down next to Socks, and comforting look on his face as he looked at his friend. Socks smiled back in return, albeit, a little bit nervously. He fidgeted as Laff slammed the gavel down on the table.

                                          "Who wants to present their evidence first?" Laff asked.

                                                                              "Me." TBH said. Socks raised a eyebrow. Since when did TBH have any evidence whatsoever?

                          "TBH? The crab man? This'll be good." Wiktoria grinned.

                                                                                               "Alright then. You have the floor, TBH." Laff told him, clearly as surprised as Socks felt.

              "Thanks." TBH said. He pulled down the board, and pulled up a diagram looking thing.

                                                                   "What is that?" Blaza muttered in confusion.

                                      "I used my big brain and deciphered that it couldn't be anyone BUT Socks. Laff was being the priest, I was next to people who would've seen me if I did it, Meme was currently getting married, Blaza was vibing, DIno wasn't even invited, and Muffin was being a god in his own floating chair. Nadwe had to take a pee, Woolfster was next to me, and Joocie was just chilling. and Oof and Oompa were also near me. It's gotta be Socks."  TBH explained, pointing to things on the diagram.

                                                     "How do you respond, Socks?" Laff queried. 

                         "We object, your honor. It's pure speculation at best. The person neglected to point out that I was next to Socks and was watching him the whole time. He had genuine shock on his face when everything happened. Besides, nobody there was actually holding the gun as far as I saw. It could've been a dispenser or something." Blaza defended. 

                 "WOw." Wiktoria was surprised.

                                                                              Socks was lowkey surprised that Blaza was actually decent at being a lawyer and defending someone. Judging by the looks on everyone else's faces, they were having the same thought process. 

                    "Interesting. Would the next person present their evidence?" Laff decided to proceed.

                                                                                                "I wanna go!" Nadwe said from the back. Laff's face darkened, but he beckoned the fourteen year old forward anyway. 

                                                  Laff whispered something to Nadwe when he got up there, which made Nadwe momentarily freeze, before taking a deep breath and calming down. Socks felt horrible for the kid. He couldn't help but see him a different light now that he knew the whole vampire thing. It didn't scare Socks at all, though. It was literally a child who Socks knew to be caring and a good person.
