The bullets used were confiscated by DCPD, and were used in violence across the city. Mercedes does not discriminate in terms of what bullets are used, and even the ones in her container tonight have a slight variety. One by one, participants hand their bullets to Mercedes to be placed into tongs and dropped into the preheated crucible. The bullets are heated to 3000 degrees, and after donning thick gloves, Mercedes pours the molten liquid into a mold. The finished product is a bell, with an identical one already polished to be hung in IA&A at Hillyer.
