I beefed a ton with this chapter, so much that I had to split this comment in 2 parts. Seems my beef will continue. Somehow I think this whole second half of the story, ever since the sudden weird genre switch is worse. As in the first half was better, and this second half is just annoying. In any case, sorry in advance. Though obviously nothing here is directed at you. But still.
Is the title right? feels like it should be silenced or something.
Either Arthur woke us up very early or this is the next day. I'm guessing it's the first thing.
The first and second question are pretty much the same, odd.
How is not remembering a dream convenient? This guy must be out of his mind. All things considering dreams are hard to remember in the first place, this guy must be a jackass.
"convenient, you sleep and suddenly somebody far away is dead" are they being for real? This is so ridiculous it's beyond laughable, obviously I'm sure they must know about the witch or something, but even then, how fucking stupid are they to go about things in such a goofy way. First they should have established the witch thing, though the fact they didn't means they aren't confident it's her imo. Also aren't witches like... Worshiped? or praised? What are these goofies going to do about it? At least last I checked it was supposed to be the old man and the 4 witches on top, so them acting as if they have any power or could do anything both in terms of power and in terms of going against someone that's almost like a superior is goofy.
Also I believe there's a mistake here, he says "a woman died in a cathedral with your face" Felicia didn't have her face which is what this implies, the killer did. Which itself is not good enough evidence in the first place thanks to distance and the whole sleep thing making them look ridiculous.
"neither do we because it's a common description" Just like that, they INSTANTLY became even more ridiculous. Are these guys new or something? Amateur hour over here. No wonder they ain't establishing the witch, they don't know it's clara at all, they just guessing, which makes the previous thing even more ridiculous. Heck I'd just ask, how does dreaming and someone dying correlate? Do you know how many people were asleep during the NIGHT? Surprisingly a LOT of people sleep at night, I know I know, crazy, but it's true. They might get mad and tell me to be quiet, but everyone in that room would be laughing in their mind at them because of how ridiculous this really is.
"i'm not ahead of anything" literally the most ahead of EVERYTHING, assuming everything, with ZERO(0) proof. "the witness description matches" You JUST said it was a common description which means it matches a LOT of people here, he's literally fucking lying now.
"couldn't do anything" this is a lie, one is the immortal headmaster likely stronger than them, and the other is I forget her role but from the magic association which could likely caused a LOT of trouble for the kingdom if they wanted to. It's not that they couldn't, they simply didn't. Whether by wanting to see how this plays out or some other reason.
"she was holy" guy caught feeling for her, got it. Hm, now that I think about it, she probably didn't disguise her looks. I'm guessing only Celine is doing that.
I'm surprised that all three witnesses said the exact same thing to describe what the priestess said, with 2 "she said" included, I'd think there'd be a little variation. So far it's just stuff we already know though, chestnut hair, green eyes, etc. The thing they already knew and started with, I'm sure one of these witness will accuse clara or something will happen.
Now they're all having a unique description on the girl from 4th witness forward? that's gotta muddle things up for sure. Usually it would. As for physical description, it's still the same, which means it's still the same COMMON description, as previously stated.
The third was the only one to notice probably because it caused his quick trial to fall apart because it definitely muddled things up, while the others didn't because they didn't jump the fucking gun like this idiot. Who the hell hired this amateur.
"you've been staring at the wall for 10 minutes" Was she supposed to do something else while witnesses came in and all said the same thing that could apply to anyone? What, did the first official want her to dance? What's the problem with just waiting? Because staring at the wall for 10 minutes does mean dissociating, it means she's waiting until they need to talk to her. Unless of course they'd rather her keep interrupting. The third one probably would, so that she could seem guilty.
"That's a script" Not it isn't. If you don't remember something, then you say that, what would he rather her do? lie? definitely. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it was only twice that she said that, not 6. But I'm too lazy to go back up and check, so maybe I'm wrong.
This guy must be trolling. acting as if it's her. "Not the girl with the COMMON DESCRIPTION THAT I LITERALLY SAID APPLIED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY IN THIS SCHOOL" Are you kidding me? It's like going towards a school of fish, grabbing one and saying "I've got a description of a fish, do you know who that applies to? All of you, but I don't know, so I pick you" So stupid, like are we supposed to act he didn't just previously say that it was a common description that applied to everyone? And still acting as if it's her and we told them we were asleep, which has been confirmed. She screamed felice, so what? That doesn't prove anything. Not once did they establish the witch, right now the only thing they look like is a set of complete idiots.
"You're not her but you match her description" So we just admitting to just wanting to pick whoever they see that first matches it with 0 proof? Confirming that he's jumping the gun because he's got something up his ass?
"you were at the cathedral ten years ago" So were a ton of people. In 10 years a lot of people came and went by that same cathedral. So unless he's saying that felice died 10 years ago, which is what they acting like because there's no other reason to bring that up, then idk what the fuck is going on.
And now for some random reason they just KNOW that felice was the killer the WHOLE TIME? They know she's a killer? Which surely means they know she has killed and kept killed for many many years, and will continue to do so. Then what the fuck is the problem here? What did they get infected and brought into her cult or something? Because I don't know why else they wouldn't 1 arrest her, 2 go this hard on clara.
"what would I conclude" That you're fucking incompetent. You ALREADY mentioned it was a common description, which already throws out any guarantee of it being clara, there was nothing about the face just eye color, and a ton of people went to that cathedral and I'm certain felice had a lot of enemies. And he JUST said I lost my magic which means I wouldn't be able to just lift my hand. So I conclude that he's a lazy incompetent amateur. A literal 5 year old could do better. And the fact that clara is not defending herself with such OBVIOUS defense is ridiculous. Is this just a forced "we gotta capture you" or something? It's so dumb it's get to a point that I don't think is good.
"he was right" that doesn't mean you just give up. If someone went up to you and said "you eat bananas YOU'RE THAT KILLER" only a fucking moron would say yes. Bring the right proof and don't be an idiot and maybe you can no longer be incompetent like you are in this trial. That's what I'd say to him.
"If i were sitting on his side" no. we would not. I'd HOPE we wouldn't be morons, if the only proof we have is "white person" and we pick a random one who just happened to pass by the crime scene of a PUBLIC STREET 15 years ago, it doesn't automatically mean it was him. Holy shit she JUST became so much worse. I think this story is getting worse. I know this is harsh. But even if he's meant to be incompetent, it gets to a point where it's just pure annoyance for no reason. Because even if he's meant to be an incompetent idiot he still didn't bring enough proof or any solid proof for that matter and in fact just determined our innocence like 3 different times, and then we go along with it for a seemingly random reason? That's just bad. Because one thing clara wasn't was someone to give up like this at fucking nothing. as if she just entered a street and ran directly to a police officer incredibly far away to confess and then acted like he did everything and it wasn't just us giving up.
Even if he's meant to be corrupt he should at least have SOMETHING pointing in HER direction instead of saying she was once there 10 years ago. Ok and? So were so many people in 10 years. It's ridiculous.
"without due process" she's just been accused without due process. I think this made it worse, because she definitely would have surely thought of all these defenses. Sure, we're the ones that did it, but if they start talking about bananas and apples and how we like fruit too and use it as the evidence instead of literally anything real, then they don't get to accuse shit. At the very least FINALLY someone steps up though. It's something.
"he smiled" he was coping. That kind of pained smile like "I definitely totally have you, definitely... IF I JUST HAVE TIME I'M SURE" kind of thing.
Her sister definitely did and killed a lot more than just her parents, so this in no way compensates. But I guess it's something, a drop in an ocean sized bucket.
