You find yourself in a beautiful red room, the edges of each wall adorned with real gold accents. At the center of the room is a long table, several chairs on either side of it, perfect for very serious conferences. In the middle of the table is a plate of strawberry jam tarts atop it, one per teammate present.

In the corner of the room is a hole in the ground, only large enough for a small animal to fit through. Next to it is a flat iron bar, curled at its tip, where a golden bell has been hung from it.

Finally, on one wall is a large poster which reads (or you find read aloud to you, if you cannot read):

An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.
Apple in the morning -- Doctor's warning.
Roast apple at night -- starves the Doctor outright.
Eat an apple going to bed -- knock the Doctor on the head
Three each day, seven days a week -- ruddy apple, ruddy cheek

[Reading the piece of paper...]

What-- What is this?

A case, where we have to figure out, how to punish the person.

What? [Reading over the case a second time]

This is. This is hypothetical, right?

I... really hope so? I don't want it to be, anything but that, to be honest.

... Even so, I'm not really comfortable with the death penalty. That seems kind of extreme.

That is, what I was thinking too, but, I don't really know what else can be done, aside from death? And, what C.C. told me.

... Prison is usually a good option.

Do they not have prison where you're from?

Not really.

Usually, trolls just get killed. Or, they're left alone, until they do something, to someone higher on the hemospectrum than them.

...

"Hemospectrum"?

We're kind of, divided by blood color? Mine is brown, and, pretty much at the bottom, minus one other caste.

So... yeah.

...................

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!

[shrugs!!]

That is, just how it is.

Well it's dumb. You can't just have your place in society dictated like that because of something as superficial as the colour of your blood.

A game, of sorts.

[Reading over the piece of paper again, in case she missed something]

... This is purely hypothetical, right? I mean, she wouldn't really kill someone if we said so-- not that I'm advocating it anyway, but-- arghh...
