    Summary

    ‘After a silence of several minutes he came towards her in an agitated manner, and thus began,’

     

    Lucy knew this one, even without having read the book before. The infamous proposal scene. Lockwood had explained it to her once, trying to stay awake on a long case.

     

    ‘In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.’

     

    He’d underlined it three times.

    Summary

    “He’s alive.” The kid mutters in a grating voice. It was as though the child hadn’t spoken in a long time.

    “Who’s alive?” Tsukauchi asks, now thoroughly concerned. The boy raises his head and holds direct eye contact. Tsukauchi’s stomach twists at the sight of blood dripping down the entire right side of the boy’s face.

    “All for One. He’s alive and he’s preparing to start a war.”

     

    True.

     

    Or: Tsukauchi Naomasa acquires two problem children, a headache, and needs a break.

    Summary

    "Theseus-" Techno starts to step forward, but Tommy only holds up his hand and steps back. The piglin immediately stops as he sees small pebbles fall off the edge from where Tommy's heels are.

    "Theseus. That's what you've always called me, right? Like I was some hero," Tommy spat out the words, and Techno was surprised at the hate that seemed to accompany them. "But I'm not a hero, I never wanted to be a fucking hero. I'm just a kid!"

    Tommy stopped, panting from his outbursts, nails digging into his palms as he curled his hands into fists. "If I'm Theseus, then you are my Lycomedes. This-this right here, it's fitting right? You wear the crown, Techno. You are the king. And this is the end. This was how it was always meant to be."

    Summary

    Alex Quackity: Look, Thomas Innit, or Tommy as he prefers to be called, killed Dream. This is not the question we are dealing with in this trial. We know where it happened, we know when it happened, we know he was the one who shot Dream point blank in the head. Those are all facts of this case. The question we are raising here is why it happened. The prosecution has suggested to you that it was done out of anger and hatred for the man who had been taking care of Tommy since he was 16. What we will prove to you however, is that it was done out of fear. You will hear evidence that when Tommy began living with Dream when he was 16, his life turned into a living hell. You will hear witness testimony to the cruelty Dream enacted on his charge. You will hear what kind of man Dream was behind closed doors. You will learn that not only was he capable of threatening to end Tommy’s life, you will be surprised it didn’t happen sooner. You will come to understand that what Tommy did was not an act of hatred or malice, but one of fear and desperation to survive.

    or, the trial of Thomas Innit as told through news clips, transcripts, and court documents.
