[ Would seeing it do any good? ... He nods within a second, the decision not entirely on that. ]

I want to know how exactly Hinata's getting blamed. I've heard about his name written on the ground, but there has to be more she did to pin him to the scene than that!

[ Right? Wasn't she smart and calculating to do all she's done? A name in blood couldn't be enough to get Hinata sent down. ]

The case against him is full of contradictions and holes. I don't think she's aiming for a win. In fact...I'll bet she isn't. [He turns his head, looking back at the despair drenched ground. What could she gain just from this? Too much. If they allowed it. He spreads his hands apart and continues.] Right now, Hinata has no alibi. We were going to have...dinner together after I got off work. But I haven't seen him since yesterday.

He says he was at his apartment all day. There are no witnesses for any side. I'll bet she is going to use his anger and hatred of her as a defense. Potentially anything...no she will use his offers to teach others how to defend themselves. Remember?

Because of what he's recalling, he's an arms master. She'll use that and Kamukura against him. [He turns entirely to face the marks of Enoshima's despair and then turns partway back to Red.] No one hates Enoshima more than Servant and Kamukura. No one.

Except no one knows that but you and the people from your world, and it's not enough to get anyone thrown into jail. Junko's made herself someone that lot of people dislike, ever since it came out what she was doing to Peromei. She put the island at risk. When the person making accusations towards anyone is someone like Junko, every detail needs to matter than just her word. Or even a name!

[ He doesn't care if his bias is showing, but his voice raises a notch as he continues, a hand going out. ] What would drive Hinata to do this now? What's to show he was at the crime scene than a name and her word? There's no reason for him to suddenly do it now, not when-- [ his face flinches, shyly, coming and going ] --not when he has you, when he would be at his happiest! There'd have to be something, like an argument, or anything to lead up to what she's trying to say happened! And without witnesses, she has nothing but old history that makes her look just as guilty as everyone knows her to be.

[ With all that, Red doesn't doubt that Komaeda is right. Who would firmly believe in a win in this scenario? ]

She just wants to drag Hinata's name through the dirt, and the rest of you with him! Well, it doesn't matter what comes out. In the end, it's what she's capable of that's going to stick in everyone's minds than whatever she tries to use against him or brings out.

Remember, she is out for despair. Her despair. Even when it was just me she was picking on it was all centered around what she wanted for herself. It didn't matter if I became Servant again or not. If I did it would just be another reason to despair.

It isn't make sense to the rest of us! We're just dragged along for this dismal ride! The Enforcers, Peromei, all of us. The law will begin its due process because it must or it isn't really a law.

At this point we have to accept that. Society must turn upon the order it imposes upon itself. Don't doubt for a moment that she knows this. I'll bet out of boredom at some point she read through the laws. [He spreads his hands apart and shakes his head slowly from side to side. It isn't that he doesn't agree with Red. It's just he knows the laws so well these days.]

But what you've found here might just well be the arrow that nails all the controdictions to the wall during the trial.
