I got annoyed.

[aubins]

By what, exactly?

[dotcom]

Not important.

But I'm also not really into prying into things people don't want to freely give, unless it's something I need to know.

[ if it's actual information for a case? sure. but just personal things for no reason? not really. ]

[aubins]

[ he shrugs. ]

Alright.

I don't mind sharing if it's necessary, this wasn't the worst thing this place has tried to drag out of me, but otherwise...

[ it's fine. ]

[dotcom]

Then tell me about the gang.

[ it sounds interesting. ]

[aubins]

[ he laughs. ]

Why, is that necessary?

... They're people I trust, and we all share the same goal. So we work together. Simple as that.

[dotcom]

Mm.

[ so yuri can trust people... interesting... ]

Alright.

[aubins]

[ shocking, I know. ]

Why, were you expecting something else?

[dotcom]

I didn't know what to expect. I don't know anything about you.

[aubins]

That goes both ways.

[ a shrug ]

Although now you know all about my childhood education, so count yourself pretty lucky.

[dotcom]

Apparently. He sounds like he was a nice man.

[aubins]

Mm. He was very patient. [ ... ] He definitely paid me and my mom back, more than he probably needed to.

[dotcom]

There aren't many people who are that kind.

[aubins]

Ain't that the truth.

I suppose he got lucky, and so did we.

[dotcom]

[ he opens his mouth to respond

but instead, another memory starts (stop at 26:00).

he hms softly. ]

[aubins]

[ ... hm, indeed.

at lot of the context there goes over his head -- for the most part, he knows what a shut in is, amazingly enough. ]

... That was a bit like watching a bloodhound with a bone.

[dotcom]

You have to do what you can to get results.

[ sometimes, it's horrendous bullying. ]

[aubins]

Oh, I'm not disagreeing. You do.

[ he doesn't know what the fuck it was all about, buuuuut-- ]

Did you?

[dotcom]

He was just a pawn. Which we already knew, but seeing what that meant with our own eyes was...

[ hm. ]

We still got some information because of that, so it worked out.

[aubins]

[ hm. ]

It worked out, but potentially disturbed you in the process?

[dotcom]

No... basically, he had a chip implanted in his head.

[ wait, an olde. ]

It was something that, once activated, it erased his memories of his involvement with the crime. We couldn't get any answers from him after.

[aubins]

[ thank you for adjusting. ]

... Like a spell or something? I don't think it'd be impossible to erase memories with spells, if someone had the time and energy to spare to come up with it.

[dotcom]

It's more with technology, but more or less, yes.

Honestly, even if they didn't erase their memories, I doubt these people would know anything of value. It was just their way of showing us they were ahead.

[aubins]

... Like a taunt more than anything else? Sounds like you were dealing with some very dangerous people.

[dotcom]

I guess so.

... but it'll be taken care of. It's just the hassle of figuring out all the pieces first.
