In the morning, the town comes back to life. Birds crow overhead, a snake nearby hisses, a lingering coyote dips behind a shop before disappearing into the wild. It's a frightening contrast to the stillness of yesterday but it doesn't mean it's over yet. After all, today is the trial.
The Sheriff stands on the porch of the Town Hall and brings his hand up to his mouth to let out a whistle. He'll thumb back to the Hall behind him and very clearly state --
"Trial time, folks. Get in here and figure out who did it."
And then he'll turn to leave before pausing and adding on,
"Bring a snack or somethin' too.
The Town Hall is set up more like a court house, a Judge's bench at the front but instead of at center, it's off to the side as if more for observation than participation. There's a table at the front of the room already holding a small box and a pad of papers and pen, for voting apparently. A side room containing only a metal gurney is next and today it's obvious why there's a gurney there at all with the corpse, resting right on top of it. Aside from that, there are rows for everyone to take a seat and it's only after everyone is inside and settled, that the doors close and the Sheriff speaks.
"Well, have at it. You've got till nine."
And then, he points to a clock on the wall that reads 12:00. Good luck.
Welcome to the trial post! Characters are free to discuss everything related to the trial here. They won't be let out of the room until 9PM when voting ends. Every character must vote and the voting post can be found here.

[They're going to kill him, she thinks. Higekiri is her friend, and—and she's devastated to know he would do this, more at knowing everyone is certain to vote for him. More at hearing them all yell at him.
She thinks about her Hero Club at home. Thinks about Togo.]
Higekiri-san, can I ask another question? [Her voice shakes, so she swallows the lump in her throat and speaks up.] The wish you want to come true... You don't have to tell me. But I wanted to ask, if you're really...really going to...
[To die.
being a shounen is suffering]

[They'll be sadder without him. There's no reason to believe it would be done so easily. Yuna doesn't want to say that. Enough people already have that she doesn't need to.]
I wanted to show you the flowers when they were done pressing, and the bookmarks...
