[Each hand is gripping something inside his pockets.]
True. This
is
unusual...
... Wait. Has there been confirmation for the other missing people...?

...It seems the other two are dead.
[Which he. Doesn't like.]
[A pause.]
Did you find something, Lieutenant?

Fuck...
[Evidently, Kim also doesn't like that.]
[But he sees Sholmes looking at his hands, and shakes his head.]
... No. This is just...
[He pulls one hand out to show a cigarette. The other, presumably, went for the lighter.]

Ah.
[And a slight quirk of his mouth.]
We think in similar ways.
[Gesturing to his pipe.]
Sometimes, one can find a certain comfort in the embrace of a substance.

True.
[But he puts the cigarette back in his pocket.]
But as a rule, I only smoke one per day. Usually at night.
[This was a moment of weakness.]

It's a smart rule. I tend to go overboard, myself. Can't help it, really.
[A sigh.]
I'm glad you're close with Miss Susato. I think you and her could learn a lot from each other.

I believe we have. She's an extraordinary young woman.

I regret that I didn't arrive in time to see you all last night.

...Please, Lieutenant.
[And a gentle look over at him.]
I was told it was a traumatizing sight. It is fine. I'm glad you helped the rest.

Would you be willing to tell me what happened to all of you?

Mr. Kitsuragi.
[A bit more stern, and a surprising use of his name, instead of his title. The gentle look shifts into a frown.]
And...mm. A complicated matter, but...our memories were replaced.

[For a moment, his gaze wavers. But he focuses on the topic at hand.]
Replaced? With what?

Other memories. Memories of another life.
[He looks down at the stump of his left hand.]
We were other people, with different lives. I was a gunslinger. A man who took jobs to kill others, using abilities to make sure my bullets shot true. We were all hired to obtain a priceless object, hidden within a prison.
[...]
It went...poorly, to say the least.

[It's a bit to process, but he nods.]
It sounded that way, yes.
What happened...?

We...
[A pause. A shudder.]
We all wanted the money, and tried to kill each other. The object in question was simply a boy with abilities.
[.....]
[He lowers his gaze.]
I killed Mr. Joonghyuk and Miss Nanaly. I...I would have killed Miss Susato.

It's alright. No. That's a lie. It's...not alright.
[And he presses his hand against his forehead.]
I'm glad I was killed before I could finish it.

[Without thinking, Kim's moved closer to where Sholmes is sitting. He places a hand on the other man's shoulder.]
... It's good that you made it back. The real you.

[That's...]
[He reaches up, hesitates slightly, but puts his hand on the other's hand, looking up at him, grateful.]
...I'm glad, too.
[He says, quietly.]
Thank you.

Have you spoken with Miss Susato since the two of you returned?

Is it possible that she chose not to show her face today? After what you all went through...

No.
[He shakes his head.]
I decided not to look.

I had a gun pointed at her, Lieutenant. I can't erase the memory of that easily.

[The hand on Sholmes's shoulder gives a gentle squeeze.]
... I don't blame you for that.
I'm just trying to think of a way for her to be perfectly safe right now. Because that's what I want to believe.

...I as well.

Tomorrow, we shall put all our efforts in finding her first. If she's in danger...we'll save her. We have to.
