[ He takes a sip of sake, and takes the moment to consider it. ]

We had a messy footprint and a spear. The people who were missing tickets. Somebody had their memory fucked with.

It depends on if you believe that the pool was related to Aikawa's murder, or Zuko's.

I do believe the print there was left perhaps by Diluc Ragnvindr...

But we might still be able to investigate people's recollections of the past week, and see what they are able to discern.

Both his pendant and the script were found there. Along with his brains, blood, and those bone bits.

It's not impossible that their killers were there at different times. The lobby and the pool ain't that far from each other.

[he nods at that]

Precisely so. There was a great deal of overlap in these cases...

Do you possess any regret for coming here?

[battling]

I ain't enjoying myself.

Well, we have said before that in the end, it is coercion.

[ . . . ]

Though I think I would have attended regardless.

[battling]

To fight?

[unsaid]

In my own way, perhaps.

It is difficult - to think that others may suffer, and I might ignore it.

[battling]

If you see it, it's hard t' ignore?

[unsaid]

[ . . . ]

If I know it exists.
