"But that's Kaede's lie, isn't it?"

The gremlin's words echoed in Miu's mind. Despite the horrific reality, Kaede showed a joyful smile. Then the tears spilled down Kaede's cheeks, and Miu had to resist vomiting. Kaede said, "I'm sorry."

Fury warred sadness as knots in Miu's stomach. The voting screen appeared. Kaede's visage beamed. "Why" would be the question today, tomorrow, and forever. The seconds counted down. Miu's finger shook.

No answer could be satisfactory.

Miu voted for the murderer.
