...

[she looks up at him]

...thank you. For your help before.

[slobjection]

Think you're overstating things.

[ he's never been helpful once in his life ]

Feel any better?

[fishingforcompliments]

[that is bullshit and he knows it.]

No. [...] I had thought that I might, but... there is still so much we do not know about what happened that night.

[even if they caught two -

that still leaves two killers running free.]

[slobjection]

[ does he.... ]

It's going to be hard to investigate any further, I think... unless there's some alternate way of getting answers.

[fishingforcompliments]

...there may be. I do not know.

[...]

It is the not knowing that hurts most, I think.

[slobjection]

[ nods ]

Did you know about Shinobu?

[fishingforcompliments]

I was told that someone had received proof of her guilt, yes.

[which is a slightly bitter pill to swallow.

they'd spent curfew together, that night.]

[slobjection]

Role, too?

[ but uh, yeah, he can imagine. ]

[ yikes. even more yikes combined with what he's been seeing from the island. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...role?

[???]

[slobjection]

Taako mentioned it at trial.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh - yes, that. There was so much going on...

[britt, uh, kinda forgot shinobu got brought up while all the "IT WAS SELF DEFENSE" was coming out]

But I did hear that at the trial, along with everyone else.

[slobjection]

I didn't know her very well... but she did seem the type to play things close to the chest, I suppose. Even with fellow islanders.

[fishingforcompliments]

She certainly kept her own counsel quite often. Although... I did not really know her to keep secrets maliciously.

[slobjection]

.... Me neither. She seemed like a nice girl.

[fishingforcompliments]

She did.

[...]

The two of us did not always see eye to eye, but... despite what she ended up doing, I do think that she meant well.

[slobjection]

You know... I think so too.

Is that naive of me, do you think?

[fishingforcompliments]

If it is, then we both are.

[slobjection]

Think I'm okay with that, if it means we're on the same page.

[fishingforcompliments]

I suppose I am, as well.

[slobjection]

You know, Flayn... I think you're pretty cool.

[fishingforcompliments]

...you do?

[???]

[slobjection]

[ offers no context or explanation ]

I do, yes.

[fishingforcompliments]

...what brought that on?
