It was another trial. Another battle where everyone faced death. He had many reservations about the case. Mercy, the Infinite Plague Doctor, was gone. Without her, who could have known what would have happened to the group in the tribulations they had once faced, and what would happen in the future. If Calvin couldn’t even work, who was to say how his fellow infinites would face the challenges ahead of them? 

He scoffed lightly as he tried to remove himself from his thoughts. The trial was the most pressing issue. None of it would matter if they couldn’t figure out who had murdered Mercy. He thought again to the horrific way she had died. Had it been anyone else, she might have been able to do something. Of course, the murderer had likely known that too. While at first he had suspected Felix who had spent the majority of the event with the victim, he was relieved to hear that the poison was likely Mundinol, although it complicated the case greatly. Cyrus managed to narrow down a time-frame:

[color=#93FFE8]"Oh shit,"[/color] Calvin’s face went as blank as a sheet of paper. [color=#93FFE8]"I went and saw Mercy around 4:00 PM...” [/color] He looked around the room and his eyes landed on Braden. [color=#93FFE8]"Braden, you were there in the Pharmacy with her before I got there. Why?” [/color] He wasn’t angry. Not yet. But there was a hint of exasperation in his tone. [color=#93FFE8]"And before anyone asks…"[/color] Calvin pulled off his gauntlet to reveal a bandaged hand of his own. [color=#93FFE8]"I burned my hand earlier like some [i]fucking amateur.[/i]"[/color] There was a slight rawness to his tone as he said those final words, but he was quick to compose himself.
