[Is it, though. . . ?]
. . . I can't say I'm surprised about Sutcliffe. She was openly making threats. Kaz Kaan feels more opportunistic, the way Tamaki Suoh did.

She did. She made herself out to be an obvious danger.
[But more importantly, was mean to Mollymauk. She's just not going to say that like a loser with feelings.]
. . . I feel that perhaps I can speak plainly with you. [After you. Nearly eat a baby together, there's a little trust there.] After last week, I came to strongly suspect Ashiya Douman of the murder, but it remains no more than a gut feeling and thus I cannot act upon it.

You don't have one? [A gut feeling. But she doesn't say it judgmentally; she's not really trying to compete with him anymore. He's seen her too ground down. It would be senseless and unsatisfying.]
Though I won't pretend otherwise - the instant I came to learn anything about what happened, I would tell Mollymauk.

Yes, I think so, too. To kill in desperation, versus to hear that it may be necessary to kill, and to so immediately choose a stranger who is unassuming and harmless.
I couldn't be sure either way, where it comes to Tamaki and Kaz Kaan. Grell - you would have had to approach her more cautiously, knowing she had a weapon. I doubt it was the same person.
She was. But whether that would manifest in her being less able to defend herself, I couldn't say.
True.
[Hmm. She'll say something she wouldn't have said to this obvious narc a week ago.]
These crimes of opportunity, in the dead of the night, like a cowardly scavenger picking off the weak one by one - that is revolting to me. Everyone must be made to understand there are consequences.
But if someone saw Grell Sutcliffe as a threat and decided to act preemptively, I can't fault the decision.

She was idiotic, and it's not a surprise. They probably saved someone else by taking her out.
[ there is a but here. ]
I spoke to Greed this week. They basically challenged me to help solve what happened if someone dies again. If I don't make any real attempt, they're going to shut me out from getting any potential information from them. They didn't say I had to actually solve it, but I can't do nothing.
[ which is his way of saying that when he tries to figure out what happened to grell, don't think it's because he actually feels bad for her. ]

[This is. . . sadly basically extremely good motivation for her, too.]
Hah. A very curious individual, that one is. But I suppose it is admirable, to hold to high standards those capable of meeting them.
[That's. . . all to say that she likes Greed, a lot. And despite being extremely physically and emotionally crushed right now, she feels a pang of spite and envy that he gave that ultimatum to Sasazuka and not her. She thought she was teacher's pet.]
Very well, then. It seems we must give it our best attempt.

[ i love harrow so much. she's jealous while i, francy, immediately started to sweat. ]
I think that it's easy for others to forget that the Avatars are a valuable resource here too, and that failing to meet certain expectations will hurt you even if you are doing other things.
[ like, fucking but doing nothing else isn't gonna give you info. ]
We'll see how it goes. [ ... ] What happened last night might be brought up.
[ molly and mineo might keep quiet about it but he is not sure if childe won't doxx them freaking out about tiny hand. ]

Isn't it natural, if someone is trapped in a pod, to attempt to free them?
[Not to that extent, but. Fuck it. That's what we're going with.]
The only one who really lost his head over it was Mollymauk. Damaging his arms to break it really was excessive.

[Harrow can be found in the garden on Monday, holding an envelope in her hands and looking at it like it's giving her a headache.]
. . . A reward, apparently. But it makes no sense.
[It says on it To be given to Gideon Nav.]
It's just an envelope, addressed to my old cavalier, with nothing but a pair of sunglasses inside.

Not whatsoever. It is my handwriting on the envelope, furthermore, and yet I have never written a letter to Ortus Nigenad. I suspect the man incapable of reading prose. Nor would he wear such things.
[Oh, but the giant lady who tried to eat her before she passed out probably was wearing them? It's fine.]
