The air in the courtroom is heavy, suspended like a held note. Motes of dust swim lazily in the thin columns of light from the high arched windows. Every juror sits perfectly still, watching the Chief Justice, Neuvillette, who has become a statue behind his bench. His stare is riveted to the man standing in the dock — Wriothesley — and a telltale roseate hue is spreading across the judge's pale throat and cheeks. The silence is a weight. "Your Honor," Wriothesley's voice cuts through it, smooth and low, a knowing smile touching his lips. "Is everything quite alright?" What judgment do you pronounce for you, Monsieur?
