Didn't see why I should not.

[ There is definitely worry coming off of him, general concern for Laurence on top of an underlying subtle anger, guilt, grief at what happened. ]

...I don't really have an appetite, anyway.

[ but if it makes someone feel better, who is he to argue? he will pick out a water and take a drink. ]

Thank you, though.

It's fine. It saves you the time of having to get up and get something if you do start feeling peckish.

It won't be easy, and I know this is much easier to say than believe -- but you did help him.

[ makes a vague noise of agreement to the first part, but the second... ]

I... I don't know if I did, though. Not if he wasn't possessed like the others were.

[boxcar]

It was similar to Samuel's situation, I think. And we learned she had killed again.

[ Definitely not harsh but trying to be firm if only for Laurence's comfort. ]

...You mean she wasn't possessed, either?

[ he's suddenly so, so very exhausted. ]

[boxcar]

Just not in the way we thought. There's a lot we know, or can guess, but I'm not the person who can or should say things definitively.

[ hhhh. pitches forward to hold his face in his hands. ]

Every time we think we know something...

[ something else always throws them a curveball. he hates it here. ]

[boxcar]

Sorry.

[ Genuinely. ]

It's not your fault. It's just... frustrating.

[boxcar]

I know, but saying that doesn't help much.

I do wish I had the answer to make this better. But I'm only good at solving problems with my fists.

Better than I've got.

[ guy who didn't know he could accidentally kill people with portals until today ]

I know they're all working on it, but I hate having to wait while more people die.

[boxcar]

I know. It doesn't feel good but we know they're out there, and safe, at the least. We'll always have that. And that's all I can really think about now.

It’d be nice if we at least knew where. [ ... ] I am glad they’ll be okay. But how they get there... it’s still awful.
