Even that's an if. We're dead. It wouldn't surprise me if somehow the laws of the UG made it difficult to test DNA, blood or prints anyway. [ rationally. ]
...you're not the only one, you know? I don't think anybody would blame anybody else for wanting to get to the bottom of this or having unanswered questions they want to ask or things they want from the culprit. Both of them, even. We can only work with what we've got left and see what we can make from it. But it always feels like there isn't enough time because something new is always happening, too.
Maybe this will be a little different this time. [ it won't. he knows that, but he can pretend for the sake of someone else. ]
[ there's a long moment of silence, like jonas seems to be debating something. he stares at fei du curiously before he decides it's probably not worth it and nods as well. ]
Erasures are always going to be hard. This one's just got a little extra flavoring, as a treat. [ dully. he's not impressed with this outcome, to say the least. ] And we can guess all we want who's going to end up there tomorrow but we still really won't know until then. That's probably the worst of it.
Oh, nothing. I was just...thinking about things we could've done differently. But it doesn't really matter at this point. Unless somebody has some, like, rewinding power to go back in time to the start of the trial we just have to live with this. Sucks to think about.
I would say I'd wish for the same, but...that's a lot of responsibility to give one team. Especially if they could choose when and how to use it. There'd be no guarantee it'd help us at all.
No. It's hard not to think of this sort of situation with regrets, though.
[ he sighs, finally. ]
I'd like something like that, but I think it may just be because I hate to be wrong. [ it's more than that, but he won't cop to it. too many baby feelings. ] The only way we can move is forward.
Making decisions you can live with, even if they may not be the right one. [ regrets are such a weird thing, he thinks, because even for people who don't live with regrets it's hard to imagine not reflecting on what a regret could be. ]
We'll have to move forward and push other people forward with us. It's the best we can do, right?

the second bit though, fei du nods a little. ] Just a precious short window to investigate. A few days at best.
[ so. yeah.
he sighs, after a moment, and shakes his head. ]
Tomorrow's going to be rough.

Imagine that was someone's team power, and we had no idea. [ he laughs, a little. ] I wish it was.
