Sorewa: "I... uh... I don't know what to make of this. Dex is pulling out knives and... Sel... you mean to say that only one of us is real? Dex. There's only one explanation as to which knife that is..."
Sel: "You see those voting machines in front of you AREN'T to vote for our traitor who is almost about to be exposed. It's to unanimously vote for the person who will "win" and ascend to take control of this body. But, just like Natasha, there are strings attached. You must all vote for the same person, safe to say I won't be voting, if one of you votes for someone else, I will win. Everyone except for the one person who wins will cease to exist..."

"I came across that solution as well, Sorewa. It's most likely the knife that Nate used to kill Edgar. My question is, how did it get upstairs? He didn't survive long enough to have reached that room. The only answer is that Sel himself used it."

Dex jams the knife into the desk in front of him. "We've wasted enough time, let's start voting. If this prick is telling the truth, then all but one of us will die. We need to choose the one of us who deserves to leave the most."

Sel: "And I did! I used it to to re-kill Edgar and call him Origen!"
Sorewa: "...And as for Origen... he was just a character in your play?"
Sel: "Yes... but he wasn't made by me. As you probably read, I was berated for making characters far too much like myself. So... I had to have some help writing him. You see, the thing with these simulations is that the one real person is still free to their own individual thought, and their minds manipulate the signals we send according to their interpretation of what they are told based on how they perceive things in reality. Meaning that things known by the host will leak itself into our simulations, this allows the outcome of each scenario susceptible to... multiple endings. One particular example of the story changing because of someone's interpretation is the existence of Origen in the way that he was presented here. The truth is, Remus and I wrote two different characters. Remus wrote Origen, and I wrote someone else. I absolutely despised Remus' character, and yet I was forced to become him. The host of this game suppressed me as a student because seemingly from first impressions they despised me, they learnt things about me they shouldn't have. They came closer than Nate to stopping me in my tracks... and even sub-consciously they made every effort to fight back against my goals."

"I'm with Rose on this, I guess. Sorewa is the most innocent of us all, and definitely the most sane. I vote for her to live, as well."

Sel: "By the way, I should probably warn you before you vote. If you vote for someone who is not the host, every single one of the brainwaves we have emulated will converge and manifest themselves in the new host. In other words; they will experience the deaths of everyone else here."
Sorewa: "Rose... you vote for me? But I... I'm useless! I'm nothing! And on top of that I'm weak, what if I'm not the host? I'll go insane and everything will be in vain!"
Sel: "Wouldn't that be nice?"
Sorewa: "Shut the fuck up! I'd much rather someone like Dex... or the REAL Origen to carry on! Or Remus!'
Remus: "I heard my name, what did I miss."
- Remus is standing next to his portrait -
Sorewa: "Remus!? What are you doing here?"
Remus: "I won my game, so I got Sylvia to send my thoughts into this one."
Sorewa: "Sylvia's alive!?"
Sel: "It seems we have a guest..."
Natasha: "Make that two guests! Dex! My love!"
Sel: "STOPPING CUTTING ME OFF! WHAT A RUDE AUDIENCE YOU ALL ARE! AS I was saying, there's another special clause to this trial. If you vote for the traitor without the machines, I will tell you who the host is!"
Remus: "I'm here to help make that happen."
Natasha: "As am I!"
Gregory: "Me too!"
Origen: "...Me too..."

Sorewa: "Origen? What... are you doing here?"
Remus: "Origen? You mean my OC?"
Origen: "I'm not strictly speaking "real"... I'm more-or-less a figment of the hosts imagination."

Natasha: "Dex, you should be able to crack open this trial with your clever wits. My game was terrible, he made me fight against 15 other versions of myself! One was even the serial killer Black Orphan we were chasing after together!"
Sel: "Oh yeah! Did I tell you that the Natasha in this game was NOTHING like the real one? Haha probably should have mentioned that!"
Remus: "Sorewa, you're strong of heart and ever stronger willed, if you aren't the host I know you'll be able to fight through it! Eric is currently in Rose's body and he's well on the road to steady recovery, remembering who he once was!"
Sorewa: "But why me!?"
Origen: "Even if we work out who the traitor is, that'll help us discover the host, remember that!"

"But Natasha, you don't understand...." Dex sets his hat on the knife. "Say, where's Nate at?"

Remus: "He's still being subjected to Sel's game. We can't actually end it prematurely, we don't know what it could do to him."
Natasha: "What don't I understand? You've figured out who this traitor is, right?

Dex looks Natasha in the eye and averts his gaze. "....I have an idea."

Natasha: "...Oh..."
Remus: "You see, the traitor is the same amongst all of us, but so far, none of us have found him. That's why we've been sent around to work around who amongst us was working with Sel. I have an idea myself but... I don't want to jump to conclusions. I think this game may be the closest we've ever gotten to finding who it is, it seems this host has learnt a lot before this entire situation. More than any of us combined, in fact."

"So what say you guys? Should we try to pin the traitor or do we let Sorewa leave?"

Natasha: "I must apologise for the same reason. But we can walk on the same road together and remember. We can begin again. Even I don't remember the distance that started to form between us, we can continue to forget about that. All I remember is just how wonderfully you took my breath away, I remember how grand a team we were together. I don't even know if that's even half of the picture, but we can begin again. Maybe with your investigative skills, you can work out the history we've lost once again."
Gregory: "Dex, in my game you were really prominent, you managed to solve almost all of the bloody cases we had! Surely you can figure this one out!"
Sorewa: "Remus... I'm so glad you're okay. Whether or not I'm real, I don't know if I could stand not seeing you again."
Remus: "Sorewa. We really must have been close..."
Sorewa: "What do you mean?"
Remus: "In my game... you were killed by Dex in the first case, I never really got to know you again, but I did learn that I was close to you in the real world. And even though you were dead in that reality, you managed to give us a huge hint as to who Sel really was. Though you had an unfortunate fate, your influence knew no bounds."
Origen: "And even here, everything you did, though there were seemingly negative happenings, they all contributed to a massive greater good."
Remus: "Though, as you said when you introduced yourself, you're said to be born before moments of intense conflict, I think even in a world where I never really knew you, it was quite clear that you are the Ultimate Omen; a source of unluck for those who harbor ill intent, and a blessing to those who fight for good."
Sel: "UGH! LAME! SOMEONE VOTE SO WE CAN GET THIS OVER WITH!"
Origen: "Not until the truth is exposed!"
Sel: "Shut up, you're not even real! Just for that, I'm going to make sure that our execution is super painful so our lucky winner can suffer even more!"

Dex runs his fingers through his hair. "Everything they need to pin the traitor is right in front of them. They can see it clearly if they truly look....I'm sure you can say the same, eh? Natasha...when we meet again in the real world, we can do all those things and more once we leave this school for good."
