[ hunches in on himself even more ]

[ puts a hand on his shoulder... ]

Look, I know I'm not your favorite guy, but I'm here to help you out with this if you want. I could ask the three of 'em to meet up with me without saying what it was about, and you could tell 'em the truth there. Having someone else in the room would probably help keep things from gettin' too ugly if you're afraid of that, and I can tell 'em I advised you not to say anything at first to take some of the heat off you and put it on me.

[foreverphantom]

...wouldn't that just be even more cowardice?

[doghouse]

Nah, nothing cowardly about accepting help when you need it, if it'll actually help get the job done. Sometimes being able to do that's its own kind of bravery.

Anyway, it's true that we told you to keep it to yourself at first, so it'd be fair to get some of the blame.

[foreverphantom]

...no. If I tell them, they deserve to be able to do whatever they want to me.

[ ...

need to get that "if" changed to "when", but otherwise that sounds a little more like he's on the right track.

he nods. ]

All right.

...I'm planning to use an item tomorrow to make me forget I killed. To keep my thoughts safe, and in case anyone tries to backtrack to finding Reigen's killer again.

[inquired]

I think that is a fine idea.

[ and lucky he has it. but: ]

When [ not if, when, bc he is merciless ] you tell them, it can be when Saturday is long over. Frankly, it just adds to the truth - that you were afraid.

[doghouse]

Yeah. That's... that should be fine.

[ probably, unless the evidence starts pointing to someone they care about who was acting reasonably on the information they have and didn't kill reigen.

hopefully that's not a bridge they'll have to cross. ]

But after that, when you're out of the woods...
