June 21
Train Station
"This will be great, Pearl," Iris said, giving her little a grin. "Going to see Mystic Maya, then a tour of the whole city. It'll be grand, I assure you."
Pearl nodded, smiling back at Iris, but felt a small spark of hesitation and worry inside herself. Scratch that, it wasn't a spark. It was a raging fire!
Mother gave her a direct order to stay in the Manor and what did she do? Disobeyed and left the Manor with Iris to visit Mystic Maya. When Mother finds out that Pearl had left, as well as the fact that she shattered the Sacred Urn, she'll definitely get banished for sure.
It's not too late, a thought suddenly went into Pearl's 's not too late to turn back. Tell Iris that you can't come and be the good girl Mother wants you to be.
"But I want to see Mystic Maya," Pearl mumbled to herself, countering this thought. "I want to help her…"
Mother will hurt you if you don't obey, the voice said. Mother will punish you when she learns you went with Iris.
"She's my sister…"
She's a bad influence, just like what Mother said. Helping her was what got Mother to hurt you last time, remember? And now she's talked you into disobeying Mother again...
Pearl then glanced at Iris, who gave her another warm grin in return. Was her big sister really the bad influence Mother always said she was?
Go now. Go now and Mother might not hurt you!
"But Mystic Maya…"
She'll be fine! You'll be the one in trouble if you go with that woman!
"But she's my-"
"Pearl?" Iris asked, getting Pearl's attention. "Are you alright? You've been mumbling to yourself."
Pearl glanced away from Iris, twiddling her thumbs nervously. "Well…"
"You're scared Morgan will get you for being with me," Iris answered rhetorically. Pearl turned to Iris with a shocked look, but the rookie lawyer just smiled. "We're sisters, Pearl. I can tell. Plus, being a lawyer also gave me pointers in reading people."
Pearl thought for a moment, then sighed. "...I'm scared of Mother, Iris. I've disobeyed her so many times. Helping you in your case, breaking the Sacred Urn, leaving Fey Manor…"
A shiver went down the little girl's spine as she thought of her Mother. The demonic, hateful glare that she saw every time Mother got angry, whether it be from disobedience or failures in her channeling lessons. They always gave her nightmares, no matter how many times she saw them.
"I'm not going to let her hurt you, Pearl," Iris assured her little sister. "If she's going to punish you for it, I'll tell her that I talked you into it and that it was my fault. If she's going to hurt you well…I'll make sure it won't happen."
Pearl's heart warmed at the assurance. While she still had her doubts about this idea, any thoughts of turning back were drowned out. She smiled back and hugged her older sister. Iris looked surprised at the moment, before hugging Pearl back. It felt good...
It was then the two girls heard the large roar of an engine and track incoming. The two girls turned and Pearl was stunned to see this large metallic snake appear before them! It had been nothing like Pearl had ever seen!
"It's a giant metal snake!" Pearl shouted in childlike awe.
Iris giggled in amusement. "What an active imagination you have, Pearl. Seeing a train as a snake! Good one."
Pearl then turned to Iris with a confused expression on her face. "A...tray-in…?" she asked. "Is that what it is?"
Iris raised a brow. "Yes. We use it to travel to places too far from here."
Pearl then nodded, happy to have learned a piece of valuable information regarding this large metal snake, but Iris looked bothered.
"Pearl, you don't know what a train is?" Iris asked.
Pearl shook her head. "This is the first time I've seen one, Iris. It's really big!"
Iris paused, her face paling a bit at the implications this brought up in her mind. But in seeing Pearls' excitement over the train, she swallowed the thought down and flashed a smile. "It sure is! Come on, let's go for a ride. We can't keep Mystic Maya waiting."
The two sisters quickly entered the train, found two available seats, and in a few minutes, the train began to move at a moderately fast pace as it began to make its way to the city.
Pearl gazed at the window, she saw nothing but darkness outside, as the train was going through a tunnel. The train ride, despite a few bumpy movements, was relatively peaceful. Everyone stayed quiet as they simply waited for the train to stop at their destinations. However, while Iris and the others were relaxed in this ride, Pearl remained nervous.
She huddled up to her big sister, her eyes darting around, unsure of the situation she had gotten herself into...being surrounded by total strangers on this train.
Maybe it was a mistake to come, a somber thought came into Pearl's mind. There's no way I can turn back now...maybe if-
Suddenly, a bright light shone out from the window behind Pearl. Curious, she turned back to the window and she gasped as her eyes widened in awe at such a marvelous sight.
The thicket of lush trees and all sorts of forest greenery, making a beautiful display that Pearl could swear was like the ones she saw in one of the paintings placed on the wall of Fey Manor. And standing above this majestic thicket was the very mountain where Fey Manor stood. From the tall distance, Pearl was at, she could no longer see the Manor, but she didn't care as her eyes sparkled in amazement at the sight of the mountain combined with the thicket of trees.
It's so beautiful! Pearl thought. Her wonder wasn't unnoticed as Iris glanced at her sister and gave a small smile at how happy her little sister was at the scenery.
How happy her dear Pearl was at the scenery...

June 21, 6:38 PM
Detention Center~ Visitor's Room
"Mystic Maya!" Pearl shouted as she rushed to a chair just to be close to her dear cousin, despite being separated by security glass.
"Pearly!" Maya cheered, grinning widely as extending her arms and pressing her hands against the glass as if reaching to hug Pearl. "You're here! How is that?!"
"Iris took me here," Pearl said. "She took me here to see you and the rest of the city! It's great!"
Maya couldn't help but laugh, Pearl's energetic happiness being contagious. She had never seen Pearl this...joyful before. Aside from the moments where they played together or when she got invested in romance stories, Maya had never really seen her cousin be this happy.
"Wow, Iris," Maya said, turning to her older cousin. "I didn't think Aunt Morgan would even let Pearl out of Fey Manor."
"I didn't," an all too familiar voice hissed venomously, causing Pearl and Iris to pale instantly.
The two sisters, along with Maya, turned and flinched at the sight of Morgan Fey's hateful and demonic glare.
"M-mother..." Pearl whispered, shrinking back behind Iris.
"Come here, Pearl," Morgan ordered. "Now."
"B-but-"
"NOW, YOU DISOBEDIENT BRAT!" Morgan roared out, startling Maya and Pearl. Iris, however, held her fear back and remained strong against this monster she once called mother.
"You don't have to call her that, Morgan," Iris hissed back. "She simply wanted to see Mystic Maya again. Would it be so wrong to deprive your daughter a chance to see her dearest cousin?"
"You have nothing in regards to this matter, you wretched disgrace!" Morgan shouted, jabbing her bony finger at Iris. "You're the one who keeps corrupting my daughter!"
"You're the one who put her in that Manor and kept her from knowing the outside world!"
"I was protecting her innocence!" Morgan gritted her teeth. "The world is a harsh place for children like all people should that!"
Iris scoffed. "Protecting her innocence? Considering all the hell you put me and Dahlia through, you're the last person qualified in protecting something like that!"
Morgan snarled, turning back to Pearl. "Pearl, come here and let's go NOW!"
Iris glanced and saw the fearful stare in Pearl's eyes. Just as Pearl took a hesitant step toward Morgan, Iris waved her hand to stop her.
"She's not going anywhere," Iris said. "I promised Pearl to show her the city, and I intend to keep it."
"You aren't promising her anything!" Morgan said. "Pearl, you are coming with me and that's final!"
"B-but-" Pearl tried to protest.
"No complaining!" Morgan shouted at her. "I did my best to raise you and this is how you repay me!? Stop being an ungrateful brat and come to me now!"
Tears streamed down from Pearl's eyes as she tightly held Iris' arms. Her mind screamed at her to stop being a brat and do as her mother told, to just obey her and maybe have her punishment lessen for it, to atone for her misbehavior...
"I-I want to stay w-with Iris..." she blurted out, trying her best to sound firm.
Morgan's eyes widened and for a moment, the two sisters swore that they saw a vein burst in their mother's forehead. "What was that...?" she asked in a hushed tone, which somehow unnerved them more than when she was shouting at them.
"I...I want to stay with my sister!" Pearl shouted. "She's been helping Mystic Maya ever since she got in trouble with Mr. Armando's death. She helped me whenever I got sad and even showed me a lot of wonderful things!"
Pearl stopped for a moment to take a breath before continuing. "You keep telling me that she's a bad person, but y-y...you're...you're wrong! So please don't take me back to Fey Manor now, Mother...I want to stay with Iris."
"Oh, my sweet little Pearl..." Iris whispered, tearing up a bit as she felt her heart melt at her little sister's declaration. But that immediately stopped as Morgan grabbed Pearl's arm and began dragging her in her direction.
"You think you know what's best for your own needs, you stupid girl!?" she shouted as Pearl tried to escape for her tightening cold grip. "You are leaving that woman and that. Is. FINAL!"
"M-Mystic Iris!" Pearl cried out tearfully, reaching her remaining hand to her older sister.
"Pearl!" Iris shouted in concern and just before she would jump in and fight back for Pearl, the door opened with a loud bang and Prosecutor von Karma stepped inside, holding her trusty whip.
"Prosecutor von Karma?!" Morgan shouted in surprise.
"Miss Morgan Fey, we are not done with our discussion on the Maya Fey's case," she said. "I request that you follow me at once so we may resume it."
Morgan turned to von Karma. "Can't you see I am busy with a family matter-!?"
whp-CRACK!
"Graaagh!" Morgan cried out in pain, clutching her chest as she felt the whip's sting. Iris tried her best to suppress her snickering grin, while Pearl and Maya were still silent from their own shock.
"Your family matter does not concern me," von Karma said firmly. "You will come with me to further our !"
With another crack from her whip, she pointed at the direction where she and Morgan were supposed to continue their discussion. Seeing as she had no other choice, Morgan let go of Pearl and began to follow the prosecutor.
But before leaving, she turned to Iris and Pearl and gave them her signature glare. "Once all of this is over, don't expect both of your actions to go unpunished...!"
Pearl whimpered in terror at that threat, but Iris put the child behind her protectively. Morgan then let out a huff and stormed out of the scene and by the time she was gone, it was von Karma's turn to speak up.
"Before you ask, I heard what was going on through the door," von Karma said. "I don't know what's going on, nor do I care, but consider this a favor, Miss Iris Hawthorne."
"Um...thank you...?" Iris said warily, unsure of what to make of this.
"Think nothing of it," von Karma replied. "And besides, I want you in your absolute best so I can make your inevitable defeat all the more satisfying, and I don't want your little family squabbling to get in the way of that."
"Now I suggest you and your sister leave before that hag you call a mother comes back," von Karma said. "I'll keep her busy. After all, I need all the information I can to fully crush you in court, so prepare yourself, Miss Iris Hawthorne!"
Iris rolled her eyes in annoyance at the prosecutor's antics before turning to Maya to give her a respectful bow. "It was wonderful to see you again, Mystic Maya."
"Y-yeah, same..." Maya said with a small smile, chuckling nervously, still in shock with all that just happened.
"We'll keep working on your case," the rookie attorney assured her. "We'll get you out of this soon."
Von Karma chuckled smugly. "Highly doubtful."
Iris growled at the prosecutor before turning to leave the visitor's room. "Have a good day, Mystic Maya."
Iris already went out of the room, not wanting to spend one more second near the pompous prosecutor.
Pearl, however, stayed and gave von Karma a strange look.
"What is it, child?" von Karma asked. "Can't you see that I am-"
Von Karma was stunned into silence when Pearl suddenly extend her arms and gave her an affectionate hug. "Thank you for helping us, Ms. von Karuma..."
"Pearl, it's time to go!" Iris called out.
"Coming!" Pearl shouted back before turning to von Karma, smiling innocently at her and waving goodbye, leaving a stunned and blushing prosecutor behind, struggling to comprehend what had just happened.
"She's cute, isn't she?" Maya asked, catching von Karma's attention.
"Quiet," von Karma said, brandishing her whip. "That...adorableness won't get in between me and my victory."
"But you still saved them," Maya said. "Wouldn't you have had a better chance of winning if you didn't stop what was going on?"
Von Karma shook her head. "As I said, I came to get your Aunt to further talk to her about tomorrow's trial. I didn't expect to hear..." she winced. "...that."
After a moment of thought, Maya asked, "Do you have any idea what just happened between Iris, Pearly, and Aunt Morgan?"
"I don't know and as stated prior, I don't care," von Karma said, crossing her arms. "All that matters is tomorrow's trial."

June 22, 9:51 AM
District Courtroom~ Defendant Lobby No. 3
"Um...Iris...Pearly?" Maya asked hesitantly as she observed the two sisters, who were going over the files for the case.
"What is it, Mystic Maya?" Iris asked, her eyes still glued to the files.
"What happened between you and Aunt Morgan yesterday?" she asked. "I've never seen that side of her before."
Pearl frowned in response while Iris sighed and closed the files, turning back to Maya. "Don't worry about it. All that matters now is the trial."
Maya opened her mouth, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided to nod back in agreement. "Alright..."
Iris then turned to Pearl. "Pearl, Aunt Morgan is likely going to show up as a witness for this case. Why don't you stay here and wait for the trial to end?"
Pearl shook her head. "Mystic Maya's life is on stake, Iris. I can't just sit by! I need to help you!"
"You've already helped enough," Iris assured her, but it didn't comfort Pearl.
"But still...please," the little girl pleaded. "Let me watch the trial. I'll just stand by you and watch."
"But Pearl-" Iris stopped herself as she gazed at Pearl's pleading eyes. The heartfelt and adorable look showed a genuine desire to aid her cousin. Iris sighed. "I can't resist that gaze...alright, you'll come with me, but you have to keep quiet and behave or the Judge will kick you out, okay?"
"I promise, Iris!" Pearl said enthusiastically. "Thank you!"
"Will the defendant and her attorney please step into the courtroom!" a Bailiff called out.
This is it, Iris, the rookie lawyer thought to herself. Don't screw this up...
. . .
June 22, 10:00 AM
District Court~ Courtroom No. 2
"Order! Order!" the Judge shouted, pounding his gavel against his desk, silencing the Gallery. "Court is now in session for the trial of Maya Fey."
"The defense is ready, Your Honor," Iris said before glancing at Pearl, who nodded in agreement.
"The prosecution is also ready," Von Karma said, grinning sinisterly as she brandished her whip.
The Judge then paused to stare curiously at the little girl next to Iris. "Ms. Hawthorne, why do you have a child with you?"
"O-oh, you see, my sister Pearl wanted to be here for her cousin Maya Fey's sake," Iris said. "She's deeply worried for her and the defense hopes that you'll allow her to stay so long as she behaves."
"Hmm...what does the prosecution think of this?" the Judge asked.
Von Karma shrugged. "I will allow it," she then laughed. "As if it would make a difference anyway. I look forward to tonight's news with great joy. The image of your loss will be transmitted all over the world!"
"I'm just a rookie, von Karma," Iris retorted, saying the prosecutor's full name with a mock German accent. "I highly doubt my defeat would be in any news' headlines."
"Don't be foolish, you foolish fool in foolishly foolish purple. The famous one is me!" von Karma said. "I'm the prodigy who has never lost a case since becoming a prosecutor five years ago! Naturally, the world will cheer in seeing that I still retain my perfect record!"
"Oh, that sounds really nice, Ms. von Karma..." Iris said sarcastically before giving the prosecutor a cold glare. "...but wouldn't it be boring if the news always recounted every single time you won a case? I mean, yes, you always win! We get it already!"
Von Karma snarled and glared back at Iris, tightening the grip on her whip. "I'm going to enjoy destroying you in court..."
Pearl frowned, uncomfortable as she sensed a strange aura emitting from her older sister and the prosecutor, who were both glaring at one another. She noticed a glimmer of it at the Detention Center yesterday, but now it was full force here. It was comparable to some of the romance stories Pearl had read, where two girls fell in love with the same man and competed against one another for his affection.
But here, there was no man to compete for...just two women who want nothing more than to best the other in this battlefield of a courtroom.
"Ahem," the Judge coughed, cutting the tension between the two lawyers. "Let's begin the trial. During yesterday's session, a very interesting theory was presented by the defense."
"That the defendant could have left the Channeling Chamber, correct?" von Karma asked.
The Judge nodded. "And this key is proof of that," he said, presenting the aforementioned key. "This key, the only key to the Channeling Chamber, was not where it should have been."
"Your Honor, I would like to say one thing before we begin," von Karma said.
"O-oh, of course! What is it, Ms. von Karma?"
"The prosecution has determined that from the time of the murder to the time of arrest, the defendant did indeed leave the room at one point," von Karma said.
Iris narrowed her eyes at the 's the catch?
"What?!" the Judge said. "But...Ms. von Karma, how do you explain this picture?"
He showed the picture from the previous case. One that showed the spirit channeled Dahlia in bloodied white robes, gleefully looking down at the dead body of Diego Armando.
"Are you saying then, that the person in this picture is not the defendant?" he asked.
"I never said that wasn't the defendant," von Karma said, smirking slyly. "All I am saying is that Maya Fey, after killing the victim, exited the room. And I believe that is when she dropped this key."
"Can you substantiate your claim?" the Judge asked.
The prosecutor laughed haughtily. "Isn't that what I'm here for? The prosecution would like to call the defendant's aunt Morgan Fey to the stand."
"Mother..." Pearl mumbled fearfully, while Iris balled her hands into fists.
In a few seconds, Morgan entered the courtroom and made her way to the witness stand. Upon arriving, she gave the two sisters her signature demonic glare. Pearl shrank behind the desk in fear, while Iris comforted her, giving a similar glance at Morgan along the way.
"Witness. Name and occupation," von Karma ordered.
"My name is Morgan Fey, and I am a spirit medium, in a matter of speaking..."
The Judge raised a brow. "I'm sorry, but what do you mean, 'in a matter of speaking'-?"
whp-CRACK!
"AAaAAghHh!"
"No one cares, old man," von Karma said, setting down her whip. "Now then, after the murder took place, you kept watching over the defendant, correct?"
"Yes, that is correct," Morgan said. "I performed the Spirit Severing Technique on Mystic Maya then."
"S-Spirit Severing Technique?" the Judge asked.
"A technique to remove a spirit from a body and send it back to the other world," Morgan explained. "Think of it as a type of exorcism."
The Judge scoffed in disbelief. "Exorcism? Removing spirits from bodies?! That's simply-!"
whp-CRACK!
"Mmph!"
"You. Be quiet," von Karma ordered with a low growl, gripping her whip and making the Judge cower. "Now, witness. Something happened while you were performing this technique, correct?"
Morgan nodded. "Mystic Maya..." she paused as if to build up the dramatic effect. "She escaped from the room..."
"I'm sorry, what?!" Iris shouted, slamming her hands against the desk.
"The defendant escaped the room!?" the Judge shouted as well.
Von Karma laughed. "And here we come to the heart of the matter. Maya Fey, while in a possessed state, managed to escape from the Channeling Chamber!"
At the light of this news, the gallery began to discuss loudly amongst themselves, prompting the Judge to silence them with his gavel.
"Order! Order! Order!" he shouted. "Ms. Fey, please testify to this court what happened during that time!"
"I will try my best, Your Honor..."
TESTIMONY
"After we heard a scream, Ms. Hawthorne and her friend broke the door open and entered the Chamber."
"I requested that both of them please contact the police."
"A knife was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze..."
"Then, quite suddenly, she thrust me away from herself and escaped from the room."
"With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while..."
"I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that."
"Why have you hidden this until now?!" Iris exclaimed.
"I..." she paused and looked away, acting as if she were afraid of her own daughter. "I did not wish to cause more trouble for Mystic Maya. However...I must correct falsities when they arise."
Iris's eye twitched, gritting her teeth as she glared at Morgan. Correcting falsities? Yeah, right! You're just getting back at me for taking Pearl!
"Ms. Hawthorne, your cross-examination, please," the Judge requested, taking Iris out of her wrathful thoughts.
Iris took a deep calm, Iris. Morgan is a cunning snake. It's going to be hard to find a crack in her testimony...
CROSS-EXAMINATION
"After we heard a scream, Ms. Hawthorne and her friend broke the door open and entered the Chamber."
"I requested that both of them please contact the police."
"HOLD IT! Ms. Fey, it's not 'I requested Ms. Hawthorne and the other lady please call the police'," Iris said. "It's supposed to be 'I requested that the both of them to call the police-'"
whp-CRACK!
"AAaAGghHh!" Iris cried out as the whip struck her face.
"Iris!" Pearl cried out in concern.
"No one likes a Grammar Nazi, Ms. Iris Hawthorne," von Karma snarled, lowering her whip. "Get to the point."
"All I'm saying is that was it really necessary to have two people do something so simple as call the police?!" Iris shouted, glaring at the prosecutor before turning to Morgan. "If there was a possibility of escape, then one of us should have stayed behind!"
"Hmm, yes. You do have a point," the Judge said.
"At that time, I, myself, was a little confused. On top of which, there was another..." Morgan stopped herself, looking hesitant.
"What? Another what?!" Iris asked.
"It's nothing really," Morgan said. "No need to concern yourself..."
"What is it, Morgan?!" Iris demanded, slamming the desk with her fist. "I want to know now!"
Morgan paused before her expression changed to that of a sad one. "...I simply did not wish for there to be more victims."
"...What?"
"The lives of both my eldest daughter and her friend may be in danger," she said. "That is what I thought to myself."
"Well, how noble of you, Ms. Fey," the Judge complimented and Morgan bowed to him in response.
"But...that doesn't make sense..." Pearl whispered to Iris. "She disowned you. She didn't even want me near you..."
"She's just trying to get the court to her side, Pearl," Iris said. "I just need to unravel what she says."
"A knife was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze..."
"HOLD IT! During my investigation, you stated that you knocked the defendant with a strike to the head, which caused her to lose consciousness. Do you stand by this statement?"
"I'm afraid I don't," Morgan said, shaking her head. "That statement I gave you was a lie."
Why am I not surprised? Iris thought bitterly. "Then why would you lie in a case like this?! Your niece's life is at stake here!"
"OBJECTION!" von Karma interrupted. "Isn't it obvious? The witness was lying to cover for the defendant!"
"Is that so, Ms. Fey?" the Judge asked.
Morgan nodded. "Well, yes...it was only later that I was informed of what had occurred. That the renegade Mystic Maya had done something very unexpected..."
Iris crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Morgan. "And what is this unexpected-?"
whp-CRACK!
"AaAck!" Iris yelped as she covered the left side of her face. "Again with the face!?"
"The witness didn't and couldn't have seen what happened," von Karma said. "If you wanted to know what this unexpected thing was, there's always later."
"Fine..." Iris growled, gritting her teeth.
Pearl just stared at her older sister and frowned. Mother and that prosecutor were being so cruel to her older sister. It wasn't fair, and all Pearl could do was wish she could help.
"Then, quite suddenly, she thrust me away from herself and escaped from the room."
"With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while..."
"HOLD IT! You fainted at the crime scene for how long?"
"I...I'm not sure," Morgan said, processing her thoughts. "About ten minutes perhaps."
"Hmm...and the defendant almost certainly went somewhere in that time..." the Judge added, stroking his beard.
"Happy?" von Karma asked rhetorically to a very unhappy Iris. "Witness, elaborate on that point for us."
"I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that."
"HOLD IT! So due to being unconscious, you have absolutely no idea where the defendant went?"
"I think that would be obvious, Ms. Hawthorne," Morgan said, rolling her eyes.
"If that's true, then how can you know for sure that the defendant left the Channeling Chamber at all!?"
"Now that you mention it..." the Judge said. "I have to wonder that myself!"
Von Karma smiled and wagged her finger at Iris. "Tsk-tsk-tsk, Miss Iris Hawthorne. Indeed, this witness is not able to confirm this, but the keyword here is this witness."
"What do you-?" Iris froze and gasped. "No, you don't mean-?"
"Alright, that's enough!" the Judge shouted. "From what I can tell, there is nothing wrong with Ms. Fey's testimony. And from what she has said, we can establish that the defendant did leave the Chamber."
Morgan turned to Iris and Pearl and gave them the most crooked, condescending grin imaginable.
Iris frowned, gritting her teeth as she glared at Morgan. She's perfectly made her testimony! There's barely anything to crack!
Von Karma laughed. "Was there ever any doubt? Now let's take the logical step and ask ourselves, 'Where did the defendant go after leaving the Channeling Chamber?'"
The Judge nodded. "Yes, yes, that is exactly what we should b-"
whp-CRACK!
"EEEK!"
"Be quiet and let me finish!" Von Karma shouted. "Now then, what the escapee had done was she had gone to speak with a certain person!"
Iris gasped. "Sh-she did!? But who would she-wait..."
"Yes!" von Karma said, dramatically waving her hand to the court entrance. "The prosecution calls Ms. Maggey Byrde, who was sleeping in the Side Room at the time!"
