– Hurt Vortex: strict adherer to science and a man who focuses on time above all else
– Vortex assigns Ryuunosuke to take on the case of a man nobody else will defend

– Cosney Megendal is the one on trial
– Cosney Megendal: English gentleman well-known around town for his almost uncannily good disposition

– Ryuunosuke gets dropped into court with hardly any time to prepare
