[When the remaining orphans enter the trial room, the doors close with a mechanical slam - wait, mechanical? If they look back, the perfectly normal doors have been replaced with yellowish metal ones, and there's a strange whining sound in the background, like the nigh-imperceptible buzz of a television left on with a black screen.
Suddenly, a symbol in the center of the floor lights up in red, and the dot in the center opens, allowing a platform to rise up out of the ground. Someone is on the platform, back to the orphans, much more interested in the red digital screens that hover in the air around them, each being operated fluidly and filled with ever-changing lines of code. When the platform comes to a stop, the figure stops, pressing their hand to the center screen. Text pops up:
NAME: X A N A CODE: D E S P A I R
And the figure turns to face the remaining orphans. They look...remarkably similar to Aelita, save for the earring, pointed ears and markings under the eyes, and the strange outfit, black with white highlights. Instead of pupils, the symbol on the floor flickers and shakes in her eyes, and the smile that grows on her face is half snarling, all cruel, but very pleased indeed.]
