[Floor: B4] [Keywords: Moral Trial / Judgment by Peers / Forgetting & Redemption]
[System Prompt: If you're indifferent to others' sins, They'll be eager to condemn yours.]
The elevator creaked slowly to a halt. The doors opened onto a massive courtroom.
Empty benches. Twelve hooded figures on the judgment throne.
[System Rules:
1. Each player will face one anonymous trial;
2. The remaining five players vote: guilty or not;
3. You cannot speak for yourself, only for others;
4. You may speak only once across all trials;
5. Sincerity of speech affects verdict weight;
6. All votes are anonymous; final result will be revealed.]
[Objective: Choose to defend others despite mistrust.]

First was No. 03. Charges:
Misleading a teammate to death in B2;
Hoarding a survival item in B1;
Refusal to engage with team.
Everyone stayed quiet. Then the silent woman stood. "He saved me with that item," she said. "That's all."
Vote: 3 Not Guilty / 3 Guilty — Tied. 03 survives. Next review pending.

Shen Yan's turn.
Charges:
Guided team through B3 without warning risk;
Suspected hidden agenda due to excessive calm;
Left dead behind in B1.
He stood bound. No one spoke.
Then the youngest player—shaking—rose: "He said I could live. I believed him. Now I'm still here."
Vote: 5 Not Guilty / 1 Abstain. Shen Yan clears the trial.
Others weren't so lucky. Some vanished mid-chair. No screams. Only shock on their faces.
