the truth is, everyone wishes to be saved.

The execution has come and passed with the death of two more Agents. However time moves on without cease and so must the living. There are no celebrations, only the silence that grows heavier and heavier with every day and the feeling that something is pleased with what it has done.

There are two more days before the new week arrives: what will you do?

sunday

[finalring]

Looking for something to read?

[ romani seems to have come to do the same thing. mostly to distract himself, though. ]

[oxidegreen]

[Distractions are great. Just continue ignoring all the damage done from Thursday night.]

Something like that. ...I'm not sure what to read, though.

Do you have any suggestions?

[finalring]

Hmm...I like mystery novels quite a bit. Sherlock Holmes, especially. He's a really cool guy, you know?

[ ... ]

If you can't find any copies of those books that are in a good state, I have the book that Gilgamesh gave me. I could lend it to you.

[oxidegreen]

[Tilting her head a little.]

You have to solve them?

[finalring]

Not really. In the end, Sherlock always says the answer with a flair that only a Great Detective like him would have.

[ he laughs a little, but it falls flat. ]

But there is some fun in it, I suppose. In trying to solve them.

[oxidegreen]

...Then, maybe I'll give it a try. I'm not very good at solving mysteries right now.

[It could be good training, in a way.]

[finalring]

I don't think any of us were supposed to be great detectives.

[ he laughs softly, his hand ghosting over the spine of some of the books. ]

But sometimes it's just fun to read the story for the sake of reading it.

[oxidegreen]

[What's this... "having fun."]

...When my skills aren't enough, I'm used to training to improve them.

[But how do you train at getting better at solving things...]

[finalring]

...

[ well, that's definitely an answer.

he sighs, smiling down at her. ]

I see. I think it's just something that comes with practice...although every trial that we go through is different. It's not something that we can really practice for.

[oxidegreen]

I'd still like to be able to pull my weight...

[So far she's just been a suspect, though. And she's not very good for examining things like bodies, either.]
