How should we describe Judge's first day on the Colossus? Strictly speaking, he didn't give us any trouble, but %s and I have never met a judge like him before. As soon as he arrived, he handed out 23 verdicts to... hard-working Fireflies! He first said their flight routes were problematic, and then claimed that one of them was slacking off... Anyway, I asked someone to talk to Irridon, and she told us to simply ignore his verdicts. Well, that was that. I mean, even though his erratic verdicts were kind of troublesome, but they were... funny. It's not like they were real verdicts, anyway. And at least he's not the kind of Aurorian that likes to get into fights on the Colossus. So... I guess we don't mind having him here!

I can't believe this is the first time you're trying to say my name, poor you. Listen up, because I'm only going to say it once. My name is Shamash Troy. Do you know what's so special about it now? Just look at my last name! Repeat after me. T-r-o-y, Troy! Now you know why I'm so amazing. Anyway, hopefully you won't be jealous of my background, because it's brilliant! Anyway, take a seat because I'm about to start. The Dawn Academy really liked what they saw in me when I was young, and they let me in early. During a mock trial, I demonstrated my excellent knowledge as a lawyer. Not all were happy with the verdict, because I decided that the noble who killed his wife and child was not guilty. That was the result of the prosecution not providing any direct evidence! Just think about it, if it weren't for someone like me, who holds procedural justice in high regard, then who would the law REALLY be protecting? Hmm?

... Yes, those were Lord Otto's words when I was on the verge of a mental breakdown after I gave out my verdict. Even though it was just a mock trial, the result troubled me. I tried to look for consolation in legal tomes and old trials, during which I even wrote several books, but I was still plagued by one question: Whose rights was procedural justice protecting? I found my answers soon after graduation. In Lumopolis, to me, someone from the Troy family, procedural justice protects those who are needed by their family. During the mock trial, despite words of caution from Lord Otto, I insisted on giving a guilty verdict to the killer. But it was overturned because there was not enough evidence, and the killer even wrote a book about his experiences, making a ton of money. Lord Otto must have tampered with the evidence, because the killer was "useful" for the Troys.

Why are you so serious? You're not on trial! Relax. Isn't it nice to live every day happily? No stress, no dreams, just do whatever you want! Cigarettes rolled with pages from my book taste better than others! When I look at those who fight over the tiniest things, casting down random verdicts makes me happy. Unfair? No way! It's more important to be happy. After all, every verdict needs Irridon's signature anyway. Oh, and I hired quite a few sculptors to make a statue of me, because I love art! I mean, Death of a Ruler, Aurorian with a Broken Arm, The Roaring, Middle-Aged Guard with an Earring, the Last Chicken Dinner... you see? I have good taste. A good-for-nothing who has no dream? That's fine, because I don't care. I mean, there's still Irridon, right?
