[ Okay, that was... horrifying. She considers for a moment before rephrasing. ]

Okay... who was Roland Cummings to you? He was your friend?

[ There's no transition from panic to not. This is an answer to a question, not a person with a consciousness or a continuous experience. There's just another image of Charlie flickering into view, and the image is quieter this time. ]

The closest thing to going home after the war. // We made pretty good partners, didn't we? // I couldn't talk fast enough to save him. // His old lady doesn't like what we're working on. Late nights, dangerous suspects. Can't turn down a job with the world like this. // I wouldn't tell you even if I knew.

[ There's a lot of things said and unsaid there, and she takes a moment to digest before she speaks, following a path she hadn't considered. ]

[the_second_noel]

[ Firm, unhesitating confirmation. ]

Right in front of me. // The King can draw out a death as long as he likes. Roland's was faster than mine, only days. // It's really you. It was really you. // Both of us were unamusing to him now.
