Trial [1]

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This is bad!" I ranted, grabbing my head and pulling on my hair. "They're going to put me in prison, right? I won't ever see the sunlight again, will I?"

"Calm down, Lucas," Nero tried to reassure me, gently patting my back.

"Yeah, take a few deep breaths and think of a solution. You can get out of this. You are the smartest person I know," Anastasia suggested.

But their words failed to pacify me, and I continued to panic. "Think of a solution, how?! There's not a lawyer in the world who can defend me now! This is bad!"

Amelia sighed while walking beside me and shrugged nonchalantly. "I mean, it's not that bad."

A long silence followed.

All of us stared at Amelia as if she had said the most stupid thing one could say in the world. Even the guards were stupefied!
