If you need to cry before the trial, then cry. And if you need to cry when it's over, go ahead and do it. But don't let the demon see your tears during the trial, Escha. It'll just try to use them against you.

[ is this even reasonable advice??? god she hopes so ]

[applechemist]

I won't let it...

[ Does she mean 'won't let it see her cry' or 'won't let it use her tears against her'? Who knows. ]

I want to be focused during the trial. I... I just want to work hard and solve it.

If that's what you want, then you'll do it. And when it's done... you can rest.

[ and grieve for who knows how long ]

... Try and get some rest tonight.

[ Escha lets out a weak laugh at that, for some reason. Haha... Rest... What a concept.
But after a wince, she nods. ]

... I will. Thank you.

[ she grimaces a little at the thank you, but doesn't otherwise react. ]

... See you tomorrow.
