Their final trial was a trial.

Literally.

The judge sat and glared at the two children.

"Name and age of the defendant?"

Gloves quickly wrote that down, and slid it across to Daisuke.

"Daisuke Hanate. I am turning 14 this summer."

"Gloves... I am 12... I think."

The judge slammed down her gravel.

"WHAT IS YOUR NAME."

"Gloves!"

"Are you sure about that?"

Gloves looked down. She swallowed the lump in her throat.

"It's what everybody calls me."

"Fine. Are you aware of your charges?"

"Eh, we just killed a few people. What's the big deal?" Daisuke yawned, bored.

"So, you plead guilty?" The judge demanded.

Daisuke waited patiently while Gloves wrote it down.

He read it, and grinned.

"Nah, I plead screw you."

He jumped up and broke free of his restraints. 

He slashed Gloves free, and broke into a run.

The guards chased after them.

They ran, and Daisuke was laughing.

So what could Gloves do? She laughed too.

Happily, they ran.

Then, they came across the edge.

Daisuke was going too fast. 

He tipped over, and Gloves immediately grabbed his hand.

She noticed immediately.

His wince of pain.

She peered down at where their hands intertwined.

His hands... 

They were slowly disintegrating.
