...There's a story about that girl I could tell you. There was a terrible incident where a girl we knew went missing in the night, and we found her in a pawnshop across the way from the flat. I was shot by burglars who happened to be in the place, and as our friend went to grab the police to help me, I told Miss Susato to check the backroom, where the girl, Gina, may be located. The door there was locked. Miss Susato happened to have grabbed an invention of my daughter that allowed one to create openings in doors, so...she used that, to look inside, seeing the poor pawnshop owner dead. Technically, it was wrong. To make such a drastic adjustment to the crime scene was a crime in and of itself.
[A sip from the whiskey.]
She regretted it, of course. But she kept the secret with her, and later, when she visited me in the hospital, she bade me keep it secret as well. That invention needed to be used at a decisive moment in the trial that came afterwards, but the fact of the matter stands that...if she had let that secret out before the whole thing, it could have compromised the whole trial.
[He's silent for a moment.]
Miss Susato is a determined young woman who can keep secrets where it counts. But yes, perhaps she didn't realize how many had put their hand on her shoulder, seeing her as a beacon of good in these cruel times. Anyone is capable of cruelty. I do believe, however, that whatever she undertook, even something as vile as murder, she did it on her own terms, not anyone else's. Why, she even she drugged Mr. Rochalizo and carefully arranged things on her very own murder!
[A short, sharp little noise, like a laugh.]
That's the type of young lady she was. She wanted her own path. She made sure she got it.
The rules you humans choose to follow never fails to astound me.
[That's bad...? He would've killed someone for less. He would've killed someone for fun??]
But that sounds like her. I, for one, never actually thought she was incapable of murder. Really surprised her chosen target was Rex but I suppose after further consideration it makes sense she didn't go out of her way to choose to specifically go after someone like me, who maybe deserves it by the standards of your law.
Wasn't personal, so why pick and choose?
[He smiles, fond. He's not sure that he would be her first pick if that were her motivation, but...]
She was so caught up on being offended at being put on a pedestal that she didn't realize she'd beaten the whole lot of us.
...She nearly beat the entire game, for that matter. That takes a lot of guts.
Ha. Sometimes rules are in place to reign in the wild. Not that mattered ever too much to me.
[Not as far as the killing, though, but. Well! He's broken many laws before. He'll continue to do so. That's how he is.]
Hm, it does make sense. A detached choice. Someone not personally close, someone not personally hated. A neutral thing, entirely.
[He twists his mouth to the side, conflicted. He doesn't want to be proud of the fact that she killed. She wouldn't be happy to be complimented for murder.]
Though I am against the fact that she murdered in the first place...I must say, her genius at the whole deal is commendable just for that by itself.
