Summary
“Do you kill the man who has intentionally murdered one person or the man who has accidentally killed five thousand?”
“The one who has murdered five thousand. It’s an easy question.”
The look on Childe’s conversation partner’s face screams that this is, in fact, not supposed to be an easy question.
An amnesic Childe is recruited by Rex Lapis to judge a different pair of criminals each day and decide their fates. The catch? One criminal will always be sent to their death and the other will be sent to the outside world scot-free. This is unchangeable.
It's an easy enough job.
So what happens when the cases become greyer in morality with each day and memories that include Rex Lapis begin to come back to Childe? And why is it that the faint inkling he has that Rex Lapis is fully aware of how Childe's memory disappeared is becoming less and less faint?
