When Larry woke up and noticed where he was, shock made him tremble.

Seated on a chair in a big, empty, non-roofed court, he saw Alan, Charlie, Don, Colby and Amita standing beside him, dressed exactly like they were when they’d died.

Before Larry could talk to them, a voice came up. The Judge, named Robin Brooks, stated, “Don Eppes, please step forward and take a seat at the defendant’s place.”

It was all so informal, yet very cold. Slowly, Don took the role of the defendant, and an old man dressed in black, the prosecutor, received him with serious words. “I have proofs, Your Honor, that this man has committed the Deadly Sin of Envy.”

Robin nodded, and he put a video tape on a computer that was next to her.

In the huge screen behind Robin, there it was Don as a kid, watching Charlie play with their mother, then observing him kiss Amita, and finally seeing him become a famous mathematician.

The prosecutor turned to the judge. “This man has deeply envied his brother’s life since he was ten years old. First he wanted to take his mother’s attention from him; lately that degenerated into the mad and constant desire of stealing his love interest more than once… But that doesn’t make sense. We all know that he’s never been ready for a mature relationship.”

Don was about to protest, but when Charlie looked at him in shock, he ended up looking ashamed of his actions. Soon Robin announced coldly, “The Judge finds the defendant to be… guilty. Mr. Eppes, take a seat on the left side of the court.”

There were no objections because there was no defense. In front of an astonished Larry, Don stood up and sat on the Hell side of the room.
