Maya isn't in very good spirits today, she even thinks von Karma is more superior than her despite the fact they are the same age. Pearl comes in and tells you her mother will be coming to cheer you on. You ask her to channel Mia for help (and to ensure Pearl's absence). Pearl does so, and you head in the court.
Trial begins
Von Karma tells you she has cameras on you and your defeat will be seen all over the world. The court recalls the fact that the defendant did leave the room on one point of the murder. Von Karma calls Morgan to the stand.
Morgan says while she was performing the Spirit Severing Technique, Maya escaped at one point. The Judge has Morgan testify about Maya's escape.
Morgan's Testimony: Maya's Escape
- After we heard the gunshots, those two broke the door open and entered the Chamber.
- I requested that Mr. Wright and the other lady please contact the police.
- A pistol was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze...
- Then, quite suddenly, she thrusted 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.
The reason Morgan has been hiding this is because she thinks problems would arise for Maya. Now Morgan says she is correcting your falsities, so let's prove her you didn't falsity.
Maya's Escape: Cross-examination
Press on Morgan's second, third, fourth, and sixth statements.
- Second statement: Morgan kicked you out for reasons. Question further. Morgan will say she kicked you out for your safety, fearing that Maya would kill you both.
- Third statement: Morgan admits that she was lying about the statement to cover for Maya. Question further. Morgan said Maya did anything unexpected. Von Karma stops Morgan before you can go any further.
- Fourth statement: Morgan seems physically larger and stronger than Maya, but von Karma reminds you that Maya is channeling someone that is a match for Morgan.
- Sixth statement: Either option. Von Karma says due to Morgan's unawareness of Maya's escape, she has another witness up her sleeve.
After pressing these statements, von Karma calls Ini Miney to the stand, since she claims her sister spoke to her.
Von Karma has Ini testify about what happened after the murder.
Ini's Testimony: After the Murder
- Like, when the channeling started, I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room.
- Like, a little later, someone came into the room, like, really suddenly.
- It was, like, oh my gawd, totally my sister!
- I, like, hadn't seen her in like, so long... I was so happy in, like, a sad way...
- My sister... She, like, told me something, like, totally terrible.
Ini says that the terrible thing Mimi said is that she was murdered by that man (Dr. Grey) and she took her revenge. The lie may seem well constructed, but Mia sees a way to deconstruct it. Let's see what Mia is thinking.
After the Murder: Cross-examination
Press on Ini's fourth statement. Von Karma says Ini instantly recognized Mimi instantly. Question further, then choose It's very important. Ini will add a statement.
- I wasn't, like, scared at all. And, like, her costume looked totally, like, normal.
Press on that statement. Mia will say that's impossible (to herself). Present Lotta's Photo 2 or Maya's Costume on the same statement. Phoenix informs Ini that there was blood all over Maya's costume, the one Mimi was wearing. Ini freaks and briefly snaps, but von Karma calms her down and has her testify further about the murder.
Ini's Testimony: After the Murder, Pt.2
- Like, the Side Room was, like, kinda dark, you know?
- So like, the costume is, like, purple right? The blood totally blended right in.
- And I, like, persuaded my sister it wasn't, like, right to do something like that.
- And then, like, I took my sister to the Channeling Chamber.
After the Murder, Pt.2: Cross-Examination
Press on Ini's Third and Fourth statements. You ask her if she saw something strange. When asked where, say when you were going to the crime scene. Then press harder. When asked if this is important, say it's very important. Ini will add the answer in her testimony.
- I, like, didn't see anyone on the way to, like, the Channeling Chamber.
Bingo! Present the Sacred Urn on that statement. If asked how this is relevant, you mention that Ini could not have missed one person. Present Pearl Fey's Profile. Pearl knocked over the urn with her ball, and she tried to fix it in the middle of Winding Way. That is where Ini and the defendant walked through, so if they were walking through Winding Way at the time of the crime, they could have saw Pearl!
You ask Ini where she really was, but von Karma denies that Ini is lying and that she was indeed at the Side Room. When asked to agree, say There is no way. Phoenix spots a contradiction. When asked where the contradiction is, say It's in her testimony just now. If Phoenix and Lotta were out calling the police, and Morgan was the only one at the Side Room, only one person was unaware because she was asleep. You then ask the question, "Where was the witness at the time of the murder!?" Von Karma has you answer the question.
You examine the Fey Manor Map. Present the Channeling Chamber. When asked where, on the Floor Plans, Present the space behind the folding screen. But didn't Lotta say she saw nothing behind the folding screen? Ini probably went unseen with help. When asked what Ini used to stay hidden, Present the Clothing Box. She must have put it behind the folding screen to keep herself hidden. Ini asks if you have proof, answer Yes, I can with some evidence. Then Present either the Clothing Box, or the Folding Screen (doesn't matter which). Both the folding screen and the clothing box have bullet holes about the same height. If this is true, then the clothing box must have been hidden behind the folding screen!
This leaves one question though, if Ini hid behind the folding screen, dressed up as Maya, drugged Maya, and killed Dr. Grey, how did she get away with it? It could have been impossible for Ini to do this alone. When asked if you agree, say Correct, it's not possible. Ini had an accomplice. When asked who, Present Morgan Fey's Profile.
Phoenix describes what "really" happened:
Ini took the clothing box behind the folding screen to hide in to wait for the channeling to begin. When channeling started, Ini, dressed up as Maya complete with the clothes and wig, silently crept up to Maya and the doctor. She drugged Maya, and stabbed Dr. Grey in the chest. Ini then put Maya in the clothing box to look like the channeling was a success. Suddenly, Dr. Grey, still alive, attempted to shoot Ini, but missed leaving the hole in the folding screen, and the clothing box. Ini then took Grey's gun and finishes him off.
Phoenix and Lotta come in only to see Ini, who covered herself with Dr. Grey's blood. Morgan then kicks Phoenix and Lotta out not to perform the spirit severing technique, but to help Ini cover up the crime!
Is it over?
Not quite. Von Karma and Ini want you to prove one last thing: a motive. Why would Ini go to the trouble to kill Dr. Grey? When asked to present the motive, Present either Newspaper Clipping 2 or Mimi Miney's Profile (again, doesn't matter which).
Ini denies taking revenge based on your theory, she says her vengeance isn't that bad and no one has proof of Dr. Grey ever drugging her sister. Furthermore, you have no proof the reason why Morgan would help Ini for her revenge! Seeing this plan to be too complicated, Ini recovers to her ditzy self and The Judge calls off the cross-examination.
It looks like the plan for murder seems too complex, but Mia is, of course, persistent. She knows that you can find Ini's motive no matter how confusing it sounds. You are given a choice weather you are confident or not, say Yes, I can. Phoenix asks to present evidence for Ini's murder, but the cross-examination has already ended. Von Karma however, is interested in hearing you out; as she is confident you will slip up. The Judge decides to continue the cross-examination and calls a recess, much to Ini's chagrin.
