None of you made particularly good angels yesterday. A little too much righteous indignation and not enough regard for personal safety.

Let's talk about disappearances. vanishings, if you'll humor me. I'm not particular. Not only from this place, I've heard enough over the last year about that. i mean regular disappearances, supposed conspiracies and cover ups, all sorts of other nonsense. I hear there's a whole market for that sort of thing on Assiah, and thus far I don't see the appeal. Enlighten me.

At least we agree on something.

It's a pretty trivial matter.

Why do I anger you, Raphael?

( Voice )

[bedsidemanners]

You don't. I'm just indifferent.

Is that all?

Well, if you're hoping for a hapless declaration of secret love, I'm afraid you'll find yourself disappointed.

( Voice )

[confined_to_briah]

I don't want that from anyone.

( Voice )

[bedsidemanners]

I'm happy to hear it.

What are you vying for out of me, then?

[confined_to_briah]

The truth unrestrained.

It's already been given.
