IM PUTTING THE TIMON GIF IN HERE LATER YOU CANT BEAT ME

...the guy you saw. [Is he qualified for this?] You miss him?

[She pauses for a moment, inhaling.]

...Loaded question. Yes and no?

[He should stop asking questions. But he seems to be watching her closely.]

...I get it. My relationship with my parents is kind of weird, too, I guess.

[Then again maybe not their fault their son fucked off to be an underground detective and hasn't called home very often.] Suddenly I can see why you'd say it was impossible for him to be here. Unless...[Hostage situation?] When was the last time you saw him?

...A very long time.

[She takes in a breath.]

I miss - the person he was when things were normal.

...I'm also guessing there's no way to get back to normal? Whatever normal means.

[She pauses for a moment, but:]

He isn't around anymore, so no.

[Like. The words aren't hard to figure out and he looks a little taken aback.]

Oh. I...sorry, I didn't think that's what you meant.

[She shakes her head.]

No, it's - I mean, it's not okay that it happened, but you're okay.

[There's a nod, but.] This place really is a piece of work, isn't it.

[She nods, but it seems like her nose has stopped bleeding, at least; she moves the sticky note away from her face.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to make things... this serious.

No, it's fine. I asked, remember? It was kind of a lot to except from you anyway.

[But he notices that.] ...we should both take a break. Sounds like our missions were a little draining on both of us.
