As a member of the police force, there are, as far as I'm aware, no restrictions on visiting a detained criminal or individual.

I see. When did they finally capture him? I feel a bit behind.

I'm unaware of the exact date, but I believe it was several days ago.

How long do they plan to hold him there?

For as long as is considered a fair sentence after examining the crime he has committed and what threat he poses as a general whole. That is something that is yet to be finalised.

You mean there's going to be a trial?

No. He has admitted his guilt and a trial is entirely unnecessary and not to mention utterly impractical. Officer Arisato is not a trained police officer. Sentences are the result of discussions between particular members of the police force - including Officer Arisato - and the attorneys present in Discedo. The latter is due to the knowledge of working laws and having case law and precedent to work from regarding sentencing.

Who's examining the crime and doing the sentencing?

I am, [...] Officer Arisato and whomever he deems necessary from within the police force, or whoever puts themselves forward.

You're not going to punish him terribly, are you?

Justice and punishment are not subject to what one feels should be done or what one wants to be done, but to what should be done and what is fair. His punishment will be nothing more or less than that.

I understand. I just don't want to see him remain incarcerated for too long. Surely we can figure out an alternative? He seems very powerful.

What one wants is not always what is right.

An alternative? Unlikely. A sentence fits a crime and anything else would be subverting justice and would be unfair, both to present and future criminals. As soon as one person is given preferential or alternate treatment, it would only be fair to give it to others, which is ultimately unfair. Laws do not exist to pander to wishes and desires, they exist to protect people, Euphemia.

But in a city like this, is it really necessary?

(There's a pause here because uh, you just completely shocked him there, Euphy.)

Evidently not to some people.
