well. what can i say, riku and reina's trial is going to be one of the most emotional ones. also, now we have only one vd left! :D

riku will reveal a lot of information about his crime in this vd and personally, yeah, i think riku's crime is one of the scariest ones here, but also.. i'd be lying if i said that i don't find him sympathetic at least in some way. though the way he acts in this vd is.. yeah i want to punch him also who knows what can happen if he gets voted guilty.. but it's hard to say that forgiving him is a good option too.

(door opens)

Eiji: Hello, Prisoner 009.

Riku: Ah, hello! It's my turn to be interrogated, right?

Eiji: Wow, you're so smart, aren't you? Yes, we have only two prisoners left to interrogate.

Riku: I see, I see! You're working so hard, do you even get paid for this?

Eiji: No, but seeing you all beg for forgiveness is the best reward I could ever ask for.

Riku: Haha, scary~

Riku: Oh, hello, Miki-san! Looking cute as always~

Miki: H-hello..

Eiji: .. What did you just say? You know that she's also a guard, right?

Eiji: Show her more respect!

Riku: Okay, okay, sowwy.

Miki: I-it's okay, Eiji-san! I don't mind, really..

Eiji: .. If you say so.

Eiji: So, Prisoner 009, Kuroki Riku. 17 years old, a high school student.

Eiji: We're back to the younger ones, huh.

Riku: Ahaha, yeah, it's probably weird to see a high schooler in a place like this.

Riku: Though now that I think about it, Akio-kun and Aimi-chan are high school students too. And Asahi-kun is only 11 years old!

Riku: How scary..

Riku: Wait, Miki-san, aren't you still in high school too? It must be hard being a guard when you're so young..

Miki: Y-yeah..

Eiji: Ahem. I gotta say, it annoys me just how carefree you are.

Riku: Hm.. Well, to be honest, I don't think this whole thing is like.. real?

Riku: Like, this has to be some kind of game, right? Or a reality show or something.

Riku: It's hard for me to believe that this is actually a real prison. And what's with the voting stuff?

Riku: Nah, I don't think we all are in any real danger.

Eiji: .. Hey, Guard 002, is it okay if I show him just how dangerous we can actually be?

Miki: Calm down, Eiji-san.

Miki: A-anyway, Kuroki-san..

Riku: Ah, just call me by my first name.

Miki: Okay, Riku-san.. May I ask, what do you think about your life in Milgram?

Riku: Hm.. Well, even though this is supposed to be a prison, I've been having so much fun talking to everyone!

Riku: I like talking to Aimi-chan and Akio-kun.. As for the older prisoners, me and Kei-san are very close!

Eiji: ...

Eiji: You being friends with him is already a red flag.

Riku: Haha, yeah, Kei-san can be a little weird sometimes, but trust me, he's a good guy. He's very funny too.

Miki: Well, it's nice to hear that you actually like this place a lot.

Riku: Haha, well, it's not like I really want to go back home anyway. So I've decided that I should have as much fun as I can while I'm here!

Miki: You don't want to go home?..

Miki: Is it related to your crime in any way?

Riku: .. I guess you can say so.

Eiji: Oh, does this mean you're ready to talk about your crime then?

Riku: Yeah, sure, ask me anything you want.

Eiji: Huh, your tone is not so energetic anymore.

Eiji: "Why is he suddenly pulling his sleeves down too?.."

Riku: Ahaha, well, even someone like me wouldn't be happy to talk about the crime they committed.

Riku: But hey, if this whole thing isn't real, maybe I shouldn't be so scared of it.

Miki: So..

Miki: What happened? Why are you here?

Riku: Hm.. I don't even know where to start.

Eiji: Oh, let me help you. How about we start with your victim?

Riku: !..

Riku: Ah, that guy.

Eiji: "Is it just me or his eyes look more empty now?"

Riku: He was a childhood friend of mine.

Miki: .. You killed your own friend?

Riku: Well, I wouldn't say that it was.. uh..

Riku: A healthy kind of friendship, I guess?

Eiji: Was it toxic then? I wonder who was the toxic friend though: you or that guy.

Riku: Come on, Eiji-san, do I look like that type of person?

Miki: So, do you want to say that you killed him because he was mean to you or.. ?

Riku: Ahaha, if only he was "mean" to me.

Riku: .. I never wanted to be friends with him.

Riku: I was forced to become friends with him back when I was only eight years old.

Riku: "Riku, can you please play with him? It's a little hard for him to make friends, he's a bit shy, you see.."

Riku: .. I didn't know that I was supposed to keep being his friend for, like, the rest of my life.

Miki: .. O-oh.

Miki: But was he really a shy person? Was it hard for him to make friends?

Miki: Or maybe he just.. gave up after meeting you?

Riku: Haha, you're so smart, Miki-san!

Riku: That's exactly what happened.

Riku: I told him to socialize more, I told him so many times that if he wants to stop feeling so lonely, he should just go outside and actually try making friends.

Riku: He refused to listen.

Riku: "Oh, but I only need you, Riku-kun!~" SHUT UP!

Riku: .. Sorry for scaring you.

Miki: I-it's okay. Though it was a bit sudden..

Eiji: Fine, we get it, your relationship with that guy was bad.

Eiji: How did you kill him though?

Riku: ...

Eiji: .. Why are you pulling down your sleeves again?

Riku: Oh, this is just something I do when I'm nervous. Sorry about that, I hope it's not distracting.

Miki: It's okay, please don't apologize! Maybe I can do something to help you calm down?

Riku: Haha, Miki-san, you're way too kind. Do you want to make me fall in love with you or something?

Eiji: Just a reminder that she's a guard.

Riku: I'm just joking, relax~

Riku: So, about his death..

Riku: It was his fault. It was so selfish of him to do something like that..

Riku: I tried to stop him, really, I did. Even though I hated him so much, I still was his best and only friend. I told him so many times not to listen to what they say..

Riku: Well, he always was a bit.. weak. He was too fragile for this world.

Miki: .. What do you mean by that, Riku-san?

Riku: Hehe~

Riku: Well, what do you think I mean, Miki-san?

Riku: But no matter what you think about me, you will vote me innocent, right?

Riku: Though I'm sure nothing bad will happen to me even if I get voted guilty.

Riku: Oh, I know! If you vote me innocent, how about going on a date with me after we get out of here?

Miki: ???

Miki: A d-date?? With y-you??

Riku: Is there something wrong with that?

Riku: .. Oh, sorry, are you dating Eiji-san?

Miki: This is like.. the third time someone calls us a couple..

Riku: So you're single then? Cool-

Riku: Huh?

Miki: Eiji-san, let him go!

Riku: Ahaha.. This kinda hurts..

Eiji: Well, I wish it would be much more painful than that.

Miki: Eiji-san, just what do you want to do to him??

Eiji: Oh, you see, I tried to be more patient with him, I really tried..

Eiji: But this guy just kept getting on my nerves.

Eiji: So I thought, maybe I should break his arm as punishment? Maybe even both of them?

Riku: Wait, is this even allowed?

Riku: Haha, this is just a part of the game, right?

Eiji: Also, something about that habit of his annoys me a lot.

Eiji: Just what are you hiding-

Eiji: !

(sounds of Eiji letting Riku go)

Miki: Eiji-san, is there something wrong-

Miki: *screams*

Riku: Ah.. so you saw them.

Riku: Haha, yeah, I do have some wounds on my arms.

Riku: I apologize for scaring you like this.

Eiji: How did you-

Riku: Maybe you should ask Miki-san about it?

Miki: ...

Eiji: .. Guard 002? Did you do this to him?

Eiji: I'm not judging, by the way. If you had to do this to him, I completely understand.

Miki: .. I'm sorry.

Miki: *starts crying* I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-

Eiji: (to Riku) .. Did you do something to her?

Riku: *sighs* I guess I should explain what happened.

Riku: You see, a few days ago I asked Miki-san to get something for me. You know, I just made a request, it wasn't that bad.

Eiji: And what did you ask for?

Miki: .. H-he asked for a knife.

Miki: I'm so sorry, Riku-san said that he wanted to show some knife tricks to other prisoners and I..

Miki: I believed him.

Riku: Haha, Miki-san is so gullible-

Eiji: Where is that knife right now?

Eiji: Oh, I think I can see it.

Riku: What are you gonna do now? Kill me?

Eiji: If you trick her like that again, I will.

(bell rings, machinery sounds)

Riku: Oh, does that mean our time's up?

Riku: I'd love to hear the song this machine extracts.. I was in a band, so I'm really good at singing!

Miki: .. Why..

Miki: Why are you still acting like everything is fine?

Miki: You're hurt! You're literally bleeding and it looks like you're in pain, so why are you-

Eiji: Let me guess.

Eiji: You did this to yourself not because you have mental health problems or anything like that..

Eiji: But because you wanted to make us feel sorry for you?

Riku: .. Hehe~

Miki: But why would you go this far?? I want to forgive all prisoners anyway, so you really didn't have to-

Eiji: Also, didn't you say that this whole "thing" is a game, so there's no point in worrying about your verdict?

Eiji: Now look at you, hurting yourself just to make us forgive you.

Riku: .. What's the point in voting me guilty then?

Riku: IT WAS HIS FAULT! HE MADE ME DO IT!

Riku: WOULD YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE LIKE HIM? SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND JUST USES YOU AS SOMEONE WHO HE CAN VENT TO ANYTIME HE WANTS?

Riku: I WAS TIRED OF HIM CRYING AND SAYING HOW BAD HIS LIFE IS ALL THE TIME!

Riku: SO PLEASE, JUST FORGIVE ME-

Eiji: Prisoner 009, Riku, sing your sins!
