Joshua/The Trial of Joe Black (Deliberations 1)
Joshua sits in his chair, staring straight ahead, not saying anything,
as if he's hoping he won't have to speak. When his turn comes, he
slowly looks up. "I'm Joshua. I'm a... musician. I haven't been in
Nexus for very long." He pauses for a long beat, eyes downcast, as if
that thought causes him a deep sorrow. When he continues, he still
doesn't look up. "At first I was certain, absolutely certain, that
Black deserved his sentence. But now I'm not so sure. I'm just not
sure." He looks like he's going to say something else, but doesn't.
