I think it may be good to consider some kind of containment, if someone like that gets free.

[ They chose possessed over willing killer this time, but what if there's more later? It's clear he doesn't consider this possibility impossible. ]

[fending]

Sounds like it, yeah.

[ nods... ]

Thanks. First even potentially promising news I've heard in a while, it feels like.

[ gonna feel real bad if it turns out that whole execution that just happened was the wrong judgement after all, though!! ]

[boxcar]

...

Not my credit to take.

[ Shakes his head. ]

And I wish you didn't need to experience it first to find out.

[fending]

Eh, still took the time to answer when I asked. Appreciate it just the same.

...Though yeah, definitely wish that too. Havin' to wait for more people to die to figure out how to stop 'em from dyin'... seems like a bad joke.

[boxcar]

And that's just to figure out if it's true at all. Not if we can undo it.

[fending]

...Yeah, probably so.

[ i'm sorry this is the entire tag because now he's just getting lost in worries again ]

[boxcar]

[ I keep doing that to everyone this game so that's fair honestly. ]

You must be worried.

[ Considering he's got a brother here. Things are rough as it is without people you know. Generals, lovers, family. ]

Don't much like the odds when it's been a person with someone important to them from home here both times so far.

It's frustrating to know you could have the strength to stop anyone if it happened but you can't.

[ Local guy who curfewed with all three murder victims so far. ]

[ meanwhile he's just waking up where dead bodies are every week... ]

And knowin' you probably can't even trust yourself not to be the one who does it.

...

[ He often looks grim in response to topics like these, but something about what Fidelio says seems to make him extra uneasy. ]

I don't want to hurt anyone.

[fending]

[ he's just going to assume that's because the strength thing goes both ways — can make him a great protector or a great killer. and there's really nothing reassuring he can say to that when character means nothing. ]

...Yeah. Me neither.

[boxcar]

I know. You have someone to protect too, on top of it.

[ Big brother to big brother communication... ]
