It was the day of the trial. As Lyney and Lynette's attorneys, WonderShow had the job to defend the twins from Furina's accusations.
Paimon: What do we do? The whole situation is so confusing!
Rui: I do have some thoughts...But let's take things step by step.
Tsukasa: Good plan. Impossible things don't just happen, we'll get to the truth one way or another!
Navia: Just relax. Even if everyone else suspects Lyney and Lynette, at least we will be supporting them from the stands. Besides, I doubt Furina understands any more about what happened than we do.
Paimon: Thanks, Navia. Well, we'll be going then.
Navia: Best of luck to you.
...
Lyney: Ah finally, you're back! Well? How did your investigation go?
Paimon: To be honest, you might be disappointed...
Lynette: No, no. We're already very grateful that you were willing to help.
Furina: Well now, don't you all look disappointed? Don't tell me that your investigation came up empty-handed? That was to be expected, of course. The guilty can never produce proof of their innocence. But don't let that stop you, WonderShow. I shall be terribly disappointed should you, my most anticipated foe, concede so easily.
Tsukasa: Just you wait.
Neuvillette: Since both parties are present, I declare that the trial regarding the magic show incident is now in session. Firstly, in order for the audience to understand the causes and results of the incident, could we please have Mr. Lyney explain the trick?
Lyney: Yes, of course. I will explain, while Lynette demonstrates onstage. All the necessary items have been prepared.
Lyney clearly reveals the details of the magic trick. Everyone in the audience is stunned.
Neuvillette: Thank you, Mr. Lyney. In that case, I take your statement to be that...You ran to, and remained hidden within, the magic box in the audience stands once the trick began, and thus could not have committed the crime. Is this correct?
Lyney: Yes, that's correct, Your Honor.
Neuvillette: In that case, I call upon the prosecution - Lady Furina. Do you wish to refute his statement in any way?
Furina: Why, of course I do. Allow me to take the first shot and break this case wide open. Mr. Lyney is clearly lying. There is no way you could have been in the box the whole time if you were to abduct Halsey and murder Cowell. In fact, I'd say you were hardly in that tunnel at all!
Lyney: That is simply your hypothesis based on the presumption that I'm guilty.
Furina: Oh, is that so? And if I may ask, what did you hear while you were inside your box?
Lyney: The roaring countdown of the crowd, of course. That's how I kept track of the time and built anticipation for the finale.
Furina: And you didn't hear anything else at all? Nothing that might leave an impression of any kind?
Lyney: No, nothing.
Furina: I see, but when the count reached thirty seconds or so, there was a thud - one so loud that I believe practically everyone heard it.
Lyney: Huh?!
Nene: Hey, hang on, something's not right here...
Tsukasa POV: How could Lyney not know about that sound?
