You cared, huh. [it's not mean or teasing or accusatory, just... flat, like. confirming that he's upset.]
[ unless we discover a pile up tomorrow and there are two other bodies out there somewhere.
anyways. he doesn't know or think that and instead just stretches out his legs and crosses them at the ankles, leaning back. everything suuuuucks. his shoulders do ease up a teeny bit, if only because man this is exhausting. ]
I kind of like some of you suckers. [...] Oh, hey, while I'm at it - don't kill anybody. If I have to watch Lu Bixing melt into a puddle on the floor because you got caught for murder, I'll kill you myself.

I'll do as much as I ever do. Mystery solving isn't my bag, but I won't just sit to the side.

It's going to be harder for them to hide this time.
