[she has to witness crying so often... it's too much to bear.]
...Oh. Sebastian.
...Oh. Sebastian.
[this makes me, siz, feel bad. sorry about harrow getting her child abuse damage mixed up with his child abuse damage...]
...Ah. Yes, hello.
...Ah. Yes, hello.
[likewise, she doesn't know how to talk to him without making him more upset. but she clears her throat.]
So, Barnes was innocent. Do you suspect someone else?

[oh, hmm. she nods.]
But his razor ultimately turned up. Do you still find that suspicious?

I don't know... I still thought it was weird that he said he lost it in the first place, not just that he'd left it in his room like the rest of us? And then he still found it so easily when he went to get it even though it was lost?? I mean, what if the other guy just gave him his after he passed the check himself! And he was left handed too, right?
[a slight upward tilt of a smile.]
Yes. I agree with you. He is obviously the most suspicious one.
Yes. I agree with you. He is obviously the most suspicious one.
Yes. I'm not certain, but the points you made - I agree with them. There was more pointing to him than to Bucky. The shoes fit; the jacket would have been odd, but that was planted.
Yeah!
[ he sounds excited about this affirmation for a moment, but then he frowns and looks down at the floor. ]
...I really should have pressed him a lot harder, huh?
I was just trying to defend Bucky instead, 'cause I was scared of what might happen if I went after that guy... but that was stupid. I'm a prosecutor, not a defense attorney.

Perhaps. If that is the lesson you think you ought to take away from it. Though if you mean you were afraid Yoo Joonghyuk would have become violent, you may not be incorrect.
If something like that happens again... what's the best thing to do? Maybe... we could ask the staff to be on guard and ready to stop them...? Like how you tell the bailiff to be ready if you have a defendant or witness who you think is gonna try something.
I somewhat doubt...I think the staff might intervene in a situation like Sieghart and Mikazuki, but...honestly, the contracts clearly provide for someone to kill in the middle of trial. Nothing says you only save your hostage by killing at night - they are saved if you kill at any point outside of the executions.
Instead, I would think of who is physically strong who is not close to the one being accused. Come with an ally.

You can ask me. I am not strong, but no one will dare harm me, either.

[ well. on the bright side, for the first time in like, a week, sebastian isn't crying when harrow encounters him.
unfortunately, she's getting hit with one of his memories instead, so ???
he still doesn't understand what was being implied here, and just looks kind of uncomfortable after it's over. ]
Um... sorry.

Um... sorry.
He might have, but someone would have interfered first. I'm not frightened of it.
