"Friends! People! The lady Amano has spoken the truth. We can say that at least. Now it is time to decide if there is to be punishment. Or is she to be accepted again not as an equal but as someone who must atone yet ultimately live."

The official made grand orating gestures.

"People of New Imperia the choice is in your capable hands!"

"Show of hands: those who are in favor of punishment!"

At the front almost all hands shot up immediately. At the back people were less keen but it was not rare to see friends or family urge their companions to raise their hand as well, after which most did so as well. It didn't really matter to them. Whole thing was rigged anyways. Or the woman might not have been a daedra worshipper but she certainly couldn't have been purely innocent if she managed to get onto that stage.

"Those who are in favor of atonement!"

Decidely less people. As had to be expected. Most people who did show their hands were eyed with suspicion by peers. It caused some to lower their hands, seeming to have changed their minds just like that.

"I deserve punishment!" the woman yelled to the crowd and the crowd agreed.
