... You know, just because you ask her doesn't mean she's going to think you're accusing her. If you ask her as a friend.

[holeful]

[Hmmm.]

Still. The fact that someone like her is interested in talking to me is so absurd I worry that even the slightest disturbance will ruin it. Like a house of cards.
[He will take NO risks.]

[kokytos]

[ Fukuda... your confidence...? ]

You should have some more faith in Miss Primrose. I doubt the bridges she makes are that fragile.

[holeful]

[This should not be a surprise at all?]

I just don't see what I gain from it? Even if she admits to it, then what?

[kokytos]

[ Sure but like, is he even ok. How did you possibly kill a man if your personality is like this. ]

Closure. Just knowing the motivations of even one killer, and being able to spend your time searching for the others instead.

[holeful]

[Don't worry about it.]

But if miss Primrose was willing to confess, why wouldn't she have before?

[kokytos]

Because it would be unwise to do it during the trial itself. Like I said earlier -- she could've risked getting executed if she confessed to the crime in the midst of all of that.

I know HK-47 would have definitely given her a vote.

[holeful]

... Well, like I said, I don't mind if you speak to her. I'm just not going to do anything here that would be difficult and unnecessary.

[kokytos]

Alright, if you insist. I'll leave you out of it, then.

[holeful]

[He settles down.]

Still. It's a little fun to say you know Jack the Ripper, don't you think?

[kokytos]

Well.

Yes and no, but it wouldn't be the weirdest thing. Like I said -- Deldro is a mass serial killer, and I work with him sometimes.

[holeful]

Ah, that's the one who was half a serial killer?

[He laughs.]

Well, I suppose miss Grell was half a serial killer too.

[kokytos]

Well, you know. Deldro is a whole serial killer, it's the Dog and Deldro pair.

You seem fascinated by all this serial killer mention.

[holeful]

Well, it's not something you encounter in everyday life> I mean, for normal people. You've got an unusual life.

[kokytos]

Well, I guess I'm not a normal person then. I did say I did things like hunt vampires and the like.

[holeful]

Well, surely that's not normal even for the world you're from?

[kokytos]

...

I guess not. Vampire hunting is reserved for a very small pool of people.

I sometimes forget the majority of the world is still not so blasé over monsters and murder.

[holeful]

Mm.
[Reaching out drunkenly to pat Steven's leg.]

I'm still not used to it either....

[kokytos]

Still not used to what... monsters and murder? Aren't you supposed to be a Brilliant Detective? At least for the murders part. [ Even if that's only sometimes. ]

[holeful]

Well I've only been a Brilliant Detective for a few weeks, you know.

[Continuing to pat Steven's leg.]

[kokytos]

[ He puts a hand on Fukuda's wrist. Stop this. ]

...You're just so much and also so little...

[holeful]

[He's drunk don't talk in riddles.]

Mm? What do you mean by that?

[kokytos]

It means you're so much and yet also, honestly a little useless despite it. [ Brutal. But he does give him a pat on the head. There there. You can just be a civilian. ]

[holeful]

[Trying again to pat Steven's leg.]

I don't know what about me is so much, though...
[Useless, sure.]

[kokytos]

[ Stop. He's going back to holding Fukuda's wrist. ]

It's that very same attitude that I'm describing as "so much".
It's difficult to figure out whether you have ulterior motives, though I'm sure you'd tell me there's none. You say things, and then they turn out different than what your initial statement tends to imply. Which, you also imply things that are often never followed up, and it's hard to tell if it's because you're hiding things or simply just because it's all you have to say on the matter.

[ There, a breakdown for you. ]
