[indent][indent][s]maybe ill add the header here one day when its not 4 in the morning[/s] Ever since ending the concert, Krista had yet to speak. Nobody had talked to her at the party, leaving her to play music at the stage whilst everyone had a good time until Mercy’s untimely demise, and nobody talked to her as she shakily took her place at the podium she’d grown to hate. Learning from the previous case, Krista kept her mouth shut. She had nothing to offer anyway and unlike last time had no hope that she’d ever be useful to the others. Most of her day had been spent preparing for the concert. She hadn’t even met Mercy until everyone had gathered at the music plaza. The case was going nowhere. Everyone talked over each other and kept going around in circles until it reached the conclusion that Max had something sinister to do with it. Instead of the trial ending with little hassle, tragedy struck the befallen infinites as Felix took his last breath. Another one that Krista considered a friend, gone. Because she couldn’t do anything right. [color=orange]“You forgot a few parts.”[/color] Lucy smugly began listing everything Bliss had done, except it was hypothetical. Even Denis did not seem convinced. [color=6c9b8f]“No…”[/color] Krista finally spoke up, her voice almost cracking from the strain. She had been standing quietly, holding onto her elbows with her trembling gaze focused on her podium. Streaks of tears mixed with dried mascara marked her cheeks, indicating she’d been crying ever since arriving at the court. [color=6c9b8f]“Bliss can’t have done it…”[/color] Without looking up at anyone, Krista continued. She didn’t care if people did not want to listen, she wouldn’t be surprised if Jezabel called her stupid for trying to defend somebody after Shaun’s trial again. [color=6c9b8f]“Lucy, Bliss went to the pharmacy before she went to the study. She could not have possibly known about litonix back then. And even if she had found and read the chemistry book, she couldn’t have returned to the pharmacy to pick up more litonix without meeting Noel or Denis.”[/color] And as Denis has proven, he wouldn’t have missed someone like Bliss visiting the pharmacy to pick up stock twice. [color=6c9b8f]“The only remaining litonix was with Mercy herself, which Jezabel delivered to the quarantine chambers which as Felix said before…”[/color] She inhaled sharply, her chipped nails digging into the flesh of her elbows and drawing blood in an attempt to stop herself from hyperventilating. [color=6c9b8f]“Only Mercy and Max were at the quarantine chambers.”[/color] Krista then fearfully added to her conclusion. [color=6c9b8f]“I-I’m not suggesting it was Max… It... It can’t be him either… but if Mercy was infected with the horseman virus, maybe she, under the control of the blackened, set things up to make Bliss look like the scapegoat? Mercy was the one to give Bliss her umbrella after all. If we assume Mercy was infected, maybe she was instructed to frame Bliss?”[/color] Krista was painfully aware her logic fell apart at the final hurdle, but it was all she could muster. Maybe if someone that wasn't as worthless as her could add to her suggestion, [i]maybe[/i] it would be okay? [/indent][/indent]
