Fourth Night [Action/Voice, Backdated to April 12th]

[Action]

[Naoya and Dilandau are safely behind bars in the tunnels, secured and locked away with no weapons.   And right now he made sure to take every key to the prisons and secure the entrance with a padlock of his own.  It should be strong enough to hold anyone attempting to break them out for now. 

First thing's first.  He needs to track down the woman named Yuzu that Naoya spoke to.  She did not sympathize with him, but knows of him and his weapon system.  Possessing Dilandau's COMP, he will actively seek her out for questioning and follow up on any leads he can.]

[Voice]

[After speaking with Yuzu and following up where the leads take him, Batman will reluctantly open a voice communication.  Someone has to make the announcement.   He's not much of a talker and he's never been good with people.  But it needs to be done.]

Attention, citizens of Luceti.  Dilandau and Naoya have been detained in the murder of Kohaku, a fellow citizen of Luceti.   They will remain in custody until such a time that the people of this village agree on a just punishment or until they are properly tried by a court of law.   That is all.

Such a system is just hard to fathom when my world had mostly monarchies. Still, even with that a person would get a trial before their ruler in the case of a crime like this.

You are correct.

And I come from a world where the government's power is derived from the people. They vote people into office and elected officials are supposed to follow the will of their constituancy.

...It doesn't always work that way, just as history illustrates failed or deranged monarchs. But the people have the right to remove an elected offical from office if they do not serve their best interests.

People are capable of corruption no matter if they are elected or not though. No system is going to be perfect to be quite honest because people are not.
