How odd.

I was told this wasn't unlike a phone at first—but it's closer to a record, isn't it? There's quite a lot of information archived if you're willing to look back so far. I wonder if there's a quicker way to search through it as well. . .

[ dead pause. ]

But that would be far too inconvenient to consider. Wouldn't it?

Ah, I'm straying from my own question. I meant to ask—has anyone got a book recommendation or two they could make for the local library? For a younger audience, of an unfinished education—mmm, and a rather impatient temper. He's particularly fond of adventures.

[ another tiny thoughtful beat—to go with a tiny thoughtful laugh. ]

In more than one arena, it seems! It's to be expected, I suppose, if that sort of reading's common here. . .

[ No. No, he wasn't. If he doesn't have to use that Chain, then he won't find out. This time--

It's a thought that had already occurred to him, but one he'd been trying to ignore, selfishly. ]


...if I'm not here, he won't find out.

[ It's the last thing he wants. And because of that, he still hopes that it's not the case. ]

I don't-- I don't know.

[ He never knows, he never has the answers. ]

If I go somewhere else, here. He wouldn't be in danger. Isn't that what I have to do?

[ Almost pleading with Vincent to answer; for all that he pretends he doesn't need anything, he can't help but to be like this, weak and needy. ]

[ So it's fine-- a little, to some extent, it's fine for him to stay. The tension in his shoulders eases, somewhat, and he nods. ]

What should I do?

[ If there's anything he can do. But those words, for Elliot's sake, make it difficult to refuse. ]

[ He nods, slowly. ]

I'll make sure he stays safe.
