[ Zhongli had been present at the trial (anyone who was nearby had crowded in to attend). He had been seated near the back as he had not directly been involved in the Traveler's and everyone's plot to put Furina on trial. So he like everyone else had been shocked by the twists and turns of the trial, sympathetic to Lady Furina's distress even if he understood what the others were trying to do.
That whole event must have been terribly troubling to all of them.
Everything after had happened so fast that Zhongli had just accepted his gaps in understanding as just that — gaps. But hearing that there was a being living within the Oratrice itself all this time. Ah, that put both trials— Tartaglia's and the small private trial the two of them had prepared later into a much different light.
What a clever and determined person, to plan a counter-strategy that would stretch over centuries. ]
It seems that you experienced much that day. Please.
