?????? Mafia - GAME END: Town Wins Somehow

After a lengthy night, everyone finally gets up and gathers in the main hall or whatever it is.

This time, there's a corpse among them.

Akumu was the Cowardly Framer, a nervous fellow whose job was to make other people look bad. He was third-party in alignment, for whatever that matters in this game.

Each night, he could pick one player and write the word GUILTY on their forehead, but he was extremely nervous and would retreat if anyone else visited his target.

Akumu would win if three players survived nightkills due to protective items.

While everyone is processing Akumu's death, a voice blares over the speakers again.

"MIRDINI VISITED JUSTICE WATCH AND AKUMU!"

After recovering, everyone looks around. No new words or other markings have appeared on anyone's foreheads, just the ones that were already there.

But just as everyone is about to get ready, the speaker blares up again.

"We have a message from Glorious Leader Paranoia! Reyweld is to be given a posthumous medal for finding our Glorious Leader's slippers, and for an exemplary sense of purpose as a jester. The rest of you could learn well from his example."

And with that, everyone is left to fend for themselves again.
