The elevator comes to a stop. The doors open to reveal pink floral wall paper and white tile floor. I would admit it looks nice if this wasn't the room that determines if we live or die. I see the pictures of Stiffy and Scar. The pink X across their faces is a cruel reminder they're no longer with us. "No yarn this time?" Xeo glares at Mononeko. "Nope! Not at all. This time I'll watch, since you were all SO bothered last time." Mononeko purrs. I glare at him. "Oh by the way Princess... That was so sweet the way you said goodbye to Scar..." Mononeko says. Everyone looks at me. "She loved Attack on Titan so I saluted her goodbye." I look at my stand.

Everyone stares at me. "You saluted her...?" Raptor looks away from me. "Yeah... Now let's get the trial started!" I look up from my stand and everyone nods at once. "Who wants to review her body condition...?" I ask looking around. "I guess I'll do it." Mary sighs. "Her body was found in the library. She was hit in the head with a textbook, a heavy one as a matter of fact. The back of Scar's skull was shattered. She was found with a note in her pocket and in the textbook there were drawings of various poses." Mary explains looking around at us as she speaks. "Good Job." Mango smiles. "Now... Let's talk about the three people who were helping her with poses." Ender says, joining in on the trial. "Anna, Raptor, and Wild." Simple looks at the three as he says each of their names. "W-what?!" Wild says. "We have an eye witness who saw you three helping Scar at breakfast with poses." Xeo points to Ender. "S-Sorry guys..." She says. "Well... You three are suspects for now." Swift says glaring at them. "We can take Anna off the list of suspects." I say. "WHAT?!" Everyone, even Mononeko yells.

"I've witnessed Anna draw poses before. When she drew in my room that one time I watched her draw. And these poses we have here, look absolutely nothing like Anna's." I explain,holding up the paper from the killer. "So that leaves Wild and Raptor..." Cheesy says. "B-but you've seen me draw before!" Wild stutters. "I have. But you only drew chibis. Full body poses are completely different than chibis." I look at her. She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. "Oh~ I love when Princess knows what she's talking about! Nyaaaan~ it's so sexy!" Mononeko purrs but I decide to ignore his comment.

" What other clues do we have...?" Cheesy asks, tilting her head, looking at the floor. "...we have the note..." I say pulling it from my hoodie pocket. "No... I have a clue..." Xeo pulls a plastic bag from his jacket pocket. It's a blue piece of hair. Both Raptor and Wild's eyes widen. " Blue hair?!" Mango says. "One of their's." Xeo points out. He puts the bag up to Wild's head. "No... Not you..." Xeo says pulling away. We stare at Raptor as Xeo places the bag on her blue highlights. He pulls away slowly after examining it. "You killed her..." Xeo says. We all gasp as Raptor grips the stand. "No I didn't! I didn't mean to!" She yells. "Time to vote I see?" Mononeko smiles. "NO!" Raptor screams. Mononeko looks at me, as of it's my choice. I nod and we vote. He pulls the lever and a chibi of Raptor appear on screen. The words guilty flash on screen.

"Yep! She did it! She killed Scar! You might wanna explain yourself Raptor!" Mononeko says, crossing his legs to get comfortable in his chair. "It was an accident... I got mad and I just... I grabbed the book and hit her without thinking!" She yells. "But why... What caused you to do it?" I ask, shaking in anger. ".. We fought over what ship was better... Eremin or Ereri..." Raptor sighs, looking down at her stand in shame. "I just... I got so angry I lost control... When I snapped out of it... Scar was lying there and I just... I felt so guilty!" She yells."Raptor..." Xeo begins. "It was an accident!" Raptor looks around at us all. "You still go to prison if you kill someone by accident right?" I ask. "Y-Yeah but..." Raptor stutters. "That means you'd still be executed." Mango says. "Correct?" She looks at Mononeko. "Correct indeed Ms.Mango!" Mononeko smiles. "Accidents do happen... But you still gotta get punished for it!" He purrs. Raptor's eyes widen. "Well now that the sad story is over... It's time for an execution!" Mononeko slams his hammer on the red button.

"Game over! Raptor has been found guilty! Now loading execution..."

Perfect Performance

Raptor is seen sitting at a piano, getting ready to perform. There are judges sitting at a table, ready to watch her performance. What Raptor doesn't know is Mononeko is backstage standing next to a giant lever. Raptor begins playing the Angel Beats intro and the judges are pleased. Everything seems to be going well... There has to be a twist to this. Raptor messes up one note and the judges become in raged. Mononeko pulls the lever and Raptor is dropped backwards into a pit filled with spikes. She's impaled by a giant spike right through the chest. She coughs up blood and she looks shocked. Mononeko appears on stage, taking a bow, getting a perfect score

from the judges for the execution.

We all stare in horror as Mononeko walks over to us with a trophy and medal." Well! There you go! You're 3rd executions! There's only 10 people left! How sad..." Mononeko pouts. "Don't you feel the despair?!" He laughs. We just stare at him. "I hope you learned that if you accidentally kill someone... You can still be punished... Remember that." Mononeko skips away, purring happily.

I salute Attack on Titan style. "For Scar and Raptor." I say. The others join in as we salute to the dead body of Raptor.
