Jack Frost
@Crow @Others?
Hmm, Morikobu asked a difficult question... But all the same, Jack Frost was able to come up with his reasoning for his vote... Though it was a tough one to call, the biggest deciding factor was probably the high amount of suspicion Holder drew to himself from the evidence that Jack could gather.
"I... Found it hard to believe that Holder was unable to uncover anything that would tip him off about Jefferson... Until the bunker." Jack started.
But, as it turned out, he didn't need to say any more... The voting session was done, and fortunately... It seemed that they were right, but unfortunately, the trial wasn't going to be over that easily. They had one final choice; spare Holder, or execute him.
A look of conflict crossed Jack Frost's face for a moment as he stared at the screen... Sparing Holder would mean that they would lose this trial, and perhaps lose themselves to despair in the process... Their battle might not be able to be won if they chose to spare him... But... ... But what? Why was he even conflicted about this?!
...
Suddenly, it dawned on him.
He didn't care whether or not they won the trial anymore... Or if they were going to die a terrible death for this, instead, he raised his staff... His voice suddenly gaining a confidence it had lacked for so long in the previous trials.
"We can't let Holder die... In order to prove we are above killing for our own gain... Allowing despair to win us over... We have to spare Holder, not just for his sake... But for our own as well!" He shouted.
And so, his vote was cast... His vote to spare Holder's life. Jack Frost was a Guardian after all... Even if he lacked his powers, and the man in the moon's guidance, he knew that sparing Holder was the right thing to do... No matter how great the temptation was to execute him in order to win the Trial. After all, what good was winning a trial, if it just meant that someone had to die anyways? Holder wasn't inherrantly evil for killing Jefferson, even if his actions were out of line... And who knows... Maybe he too, was influenced by the darkness.
In fact, come to think of it, none of those who were executed were truly malicious in nature... In one way or another, they had either been victims of cirumstance, or their own violent impulses... Something that he suspected the darkness here only helped along. Though he wasn't sure what would happen to them if they failed the trial, he certainly wasn't about to risk killing Holder to further Junko, nor the darkness's cause... Not if he had anything to say about it...
