The final part of ARR story doesn't make enough sense.

[Cilia]

If we simply would have stayed for a trial, it would have all been a much bigger problem for Lolo.

Staying for a trial is pointless. While we would have the support of the populace, the fact is that we were alone with the Sultana and had a vial of the poison that killed her on our person. There's no way to prove our innocence without honest testimony from Nanamo's handmaiden, Laurentius, and Ilberd - and there's also no way they'd give honest testimony while they're in Lolorito's pocket. Even then, Lolorito could probably bribe enough of the jury to get the outcome he wants. Even if they disagree with the law and know it's corrupt, there's nothing the citizens can legally do to fight back against it, especially when the sole remaining authority figure basically owns the police force.

This is all, of course, assuming Ul'dahn trials are the same in structure as U.S. trials.

Staying would leave us imprisoned for life at best, executed at worst.
