It was unfortunate that another murder had plagued the Infinites, especially so close to that last, trainwreck of a Night of Carnage. Murdering someone was an unforgivable action, but doing so at this point in time somehow made it worse in Zach's eyes. What sort of selfish bastard would do such a thing? This was 3 times that somebody had killed another. It was safe to say this would continue, even were they to survive this trial. They needed to find a way out of this situation before there were no Infinites left! This world needed a future!

Thankfully, it seemed like some others were being proactive in their approach. Going by what was discussed, it was most likely that the poison used was not the fast-acting type but the kind that took a few hours before taking effect. Naturally, people began stating their alibis, but strangely it seemed as though quite a bit of people visited Mercy before the party. Of course, Zach knew this beforehand since he'd been there with Jez. But most interesting of the discussion so far was Thomas' questioning of Alice. Presumably, the point was to confirm that while Mercy did know about the wound on her hand, she wasn't aware it was poison. That much was kinda obvious though. Mercy would have to be of a horrible character to not inform others about this, as that simply put everybody else in danger. Oddly, the mention of a pencil tip did remind Zachary of something that may be of note to the case, but he wasn't sure if he should potentially bring up something that may digress from the current topic. He figured he'd hold onto that information until later. 

[color=0076a3]"Yes, that's correct."[/color] Zachary acknowledged Jezebel's recounting of their alibi for the 3:00pm-4:00pm timeframe. But Zachary assured himself that would be the last time she needed to speak for him this trial. He'd admit that the feeling of having someone get his back was a great one, but in order to improve as a person and to fulfill his desire to make his relationship with her one in which she benefits, Zachary needed to assert himself. 

There would be no more politicians calling him cuck. 

Still... [color=0076a3]"I can't say I was looking for anything of the sort, but I'm afraid I did not see anything that was out of the norm while we were with Mercy."[/color] the fact he could've missed something important weighed on him and he'd spoke as if he was upset at himself for not seeing anything.
