Before the first trial
The former S############, now "Es", walked down the halls of the prison that is Milgram.
Its ten new prisoners are still unconscious, their first trials about to begin.
She was quick to remember the information Jackalope had given her the day before about those nine.
The nine people there, lying asleep inside the cells, completely isolated from the outside world, had committed all the same sin.
Murder.
Her job was to judge them and their sin as either forgivable or unforgivable through a series of music video extractions throughout the whole 3 trial.
S- Es passed through the first cell, being met with a blond haired guy, unconscious on the floor of the cell, his face showing a disturbed expression.
Prisoner 001:
Tenma Tsukasa.
Age, 17
The once leader of a small crew in a theme park, called Phoenix Wonderland along with 006.
Attended a school called Kamiyama High, had a sister.
He was on an eccentric way to stardom.
That was all Jackalope had told her about prisoner 001, not elaborating further.
Ignoring Jackalope's questionable explanations, Es moved on.
A young girl, with long, light brown hair and a hair clip with a blue ribbon on her hair.
Prisoner 002:
Hanasato Minori.
Age, 16
A devoted fan of idols, attached primarily to the national sensation group ASRUN.
Attended an all-girls school called Miyamasuzaka.
Rumors about who she murdered were quick to spread there and in more places.
002 sat peacefully in her sleep, so Es was quick to move on.
Although they were caught by surprise to see prisoner 003 wide awake.
Prisoner 003:
Shinonome Akito.
Age, 16
A street singer.
001's junior in high school
He had a partner in his performances, also a classmate, 003 seemed to be fond of him.
Teammates with 009.
003 was curled up into a ball in the corner of the cell, holding his hair tightly and mumbling silently as if he was in some kind of trance, not quite seeming to notice Es' presence.
Es would make sure to bring it up in 003's interrogation.
The next cell, held a teen girl with the messiest dark blue hair Es had ever seen, humming what sounded like a Vocaloid song while she laid unconscious.
Prisoner 004:
Hoshino Ichika.
Age, 16.
Known in her school as a gifted person when it came to music.
Was class representative along with another prisoner.
Only hung out with one of her classmates.
Es started to get a small headache before she moved on.
In the next cell, Es' head was already throbbing.
She stood in front of it and softly held one of the cold metal bars separating her from the prisoner inside.
Prisoner 005:
Hinomori Shizuku
Age, 17.
Jackalope had refused to tell Es anything about 005, even when she had asked why he refused profusely, insisting she'd hear everything she needs to know from Hinomori herself.
Es was kind of pissed off about that.
Nevertheless, she moved on.
To the cell of a tall, purple haired guy.
Prisoner 006:
Kamishiro Rui:
Age, 17.
The psychopathic madman of Kamiyama, as his classmates described him.
A genius in robotics and the director of the same troupe as 001.
His social life was ruined completely with the allegations of his sin, if it wasn't already in crumbles to begin with.
There was nothing interesting to note about him at first, so she figured she'd know more in his interrogation.
Prisoner 007:
Mochizuki Honami:
Age, 16.
006 had all her friends in her class, until sometime later something happened to one of them.
Es had her suspicions as to what that something might have been.
She watched 007 move a lot in her sleep as Es moved past her cell.
Prisoner 008:
Akiyama Mizuki:
Age, 16.
Not much is known about 008, since their classmates all said they were always skipping school.
They do seem fond of Prisoner 006 and 009.
Finally, Es had reached the last prisoner. Her sudden headache was really annoying at that point.
Prisoner 009:
Shiraishi An:
Age, 16.
The daughter of a famous street singer.
Apparently in a good relationship with 003 and 008.
Before Es could leave, all the prisoners woke up, their cells opening up.
Prisoner 003 stands up.
That's when Jackalope appeared.
"Now that you've seen them, how about we make it official, Es?"
He asked, standing right beside Es.
"The first trial begins now.”
