I'm glad to hear that. I don't think it is either, obviously. But I'd say that about trying to scapegoat anyone, including a confirmed killer. A lot has changed this week, y'know? Like, Caren and Chuuya? I knew Caren. I'm sure she thought she was acting in everyone's best interest too. I don't know. And, I guess... If this trend continues, we'll have, um... More than just the Reapers to pick from.

[He's hoping that's not the case, but it's probably going to happen.]

You're right, though. This kind of thing coming out would just break trusts all around, even if people believed that I did it. It's tough to say for sure, I guess, but I think people trusted us before this. I don't want to make everyone unnecessarily suspicious.

[As for the offer, he gives Lenka a sad but appreciative smile.]

I wouldn't want to put you guys in danger. Besides, it's not like... You couldn't stop it anyway. I don't want Mary waking up to that. [...] But, thank you.
