Badly. [It's an immediate answer, and he actually looks pretty troubled by the idea.] She told me she felt lucky to meet and know him. You don't really recover from losing someone like that.
Sure. I don't know how she'll feel, but Escha's the kind of person who thinks to reach out to people when they need someone. She'll probably at least understand the gesture right back.
Yeah. Dick's probably not going to be happy about Aizawa, too. I know they worked together and had a pretty okay relationship. [This is the wrong answer, and yet.]
I wasn't particularly close to any of them. It's...probably an asshole move to say "I'm not that sad about it" but it's more like "pissed we lost more people, but indifferent about who they were." That doesn't sound any better but it's just more motivation to figure out who's responsible tomorrow.
[A beat.] I care more about how Dick and Escha are going to feel and how they'll handle the trial.
I don't think it's that awful. I mean, if it's someone you didn't know - it's kind of like something you'd see on the news, right? Like, it sucks that something painful happened to someone, but... It's different than if that same thing happened to a friend.
Right, that's just it. I wouldn't even really call any of the three of them acquaintances. I've spoken to them a few times, got some impressions and left some, and left the friendship part up to other people. It's not like it was with Prompto.
...yeah, I've been thinking about that, too. We're on our own this time and with two crime scenes that don't easily connect. We'll really have to be paying attention to what people say and do. I'll ask everybody for statements about the investigation first thing.

[The sympathy is clear in her voice, even as she sighs.]
She seems sweet, but I don't know her that well. How do you think she'll take it?

[Not that she thinks she'll be able to make her feel better, but. Sometimes even company helps.]

But it'll make tomorrow a little easier.

...I think tomorrow's going to be pretty tough no matter what.
