- Red. It's me. - I know man - What do you mean you know? This is a disposable line. - You're the only guy I know who'd bother - Okay, well.

...You know Makoto? "I know he's the Ikariya's heir apparent." "From what I hear, he's an appropriately frightening young scion." He's uh... He's really quite something.

Glad to be back! Did y'all miss me? "..." '...' “...” ...Forget I said anything. I'll just go crawl under a rock and die while you make your opening statements.

// is she stupid? (spoilers. vaguely)

Adelaide Han's business card, listing her as a Site Manager at Cyanus Security, a known front for the Blueblood criminal organization. Includes her personal contact number on top of her work details, for some reason.

"Hey. Shouldn't make talk like that in front of..." "The customer." Customer. You'd think the word was old toothpaste, the way he spat it out. Translation: "outsider."

Silence is only awkward if you care. I can ignore social cues all day long.

It sounds more complicated than it actually is in practice. It's easy to end up on the wrong side of town, as long as you're trying to.

And we've got the bastard dead to rights. So if you're kind, you'll help him plead it out. ...And if you're smart, you'll pass this shitstorm onto some other nightowl and go back to bed. "...I'm not feeling particularly kind or smart at the moment."

Very well. Then let us summon to the stand {NULL NAME NOT FOUND}. "What?" 'What?' “Is that a family or given name?”

(Wow. Tell me more.) Wow! Tell me more!

Tch. ...Who the hell deserves shit like this...? (Deserves?) (...What does that have to do with anything?)

You gonna let her say that...!? "You want me to Object during an opening statement...?"

... ...The hell...? ...Why the hell won't this thing light...? "Adonai." "You have your cigarette backwards." ...

...Have I seen you at a game before? Maybe up by the thirties? "...Sorry. Must've been some other redhead." Damn. Thought I'd finally gotten my second chance at getting that beauty's contacts. "You practice that one a lot?" Practiced it a little. How's it working? "Keep practicing."

Detective. Did you just leak the confidential medical data of a non-suspect to a third party? "Uh. Hey, you don't have to report... How about I buy you an ice cream or something?" Bribery, too? You're digging yourself pretty deep. "...Is it still bribery if I'm the government official?"

Watching stupid movies and trying to papier-mâché an ill-fitted mask of humanity out of the scraps you could tear out of magazines. Practicing expressions and memorizing lines and... And trying to get something to take root and grow despite knowing it'd have nothing to feed on. ...Stupid.

... This was all so stupid. Honestly, I'm not the ego-driven type. In fact I pride myself on my humility.

...This conversation's like quicksand—killing me in the most boring way possible.

The loud one—"Tanks?"—is pressing a barrel directly into my forehead. The metal feels cool on my skin. Reminds me of a stethoscope. Breathe in... And try not to sigh at the theatrics.

Avoid the populated streets. Turn away from brightly-lit spots. Follow the trail of graffiti and broken cameras, past food stands and steam vents... down the rabbit hole.

From what I can see of it, a pretty face like yours would go a long way with the jury if it wasn't pulverized. "Ridiculous...!" (Is he blushing?)

...Ah. I just remembered. Do you think the Adjutant assigned to this particular case— "Obviously, it's gonna be me. Obviously." "I mean that's a gimme, EASY." (...How?)

Allo, mon cur! "...It's pronounced coeur—" (I know how it's pronounced.)

Silence is only awkward if you care. I can ignore social cues all day long.

...If it were up to me, you'd get points for trying. Trying to be... something more. Trying to be something at all. Or anything other than what you are.

I've got good news for you Detective: journalists still exist. I could introduce you to one. You could even take a photograph!

Ah, sorry, right— Did you want to beg for mercy real quick before we begin? "...Now where would be the fun in that?"

So we're mortal enemies? That sucks. 'Nother life then, eh? But I'll still play nice if you will.

...If it were up to me, you'd get points for trying. Trying to be... something more. Trying to be something at all. Or anything other than what you are.

- It was a very basic non-sequitur, Auntie It just wasn't funny - Not even A non-sequitur would be: "what's the charge" - That's just getting back on topic

It sounds more complicated than it actually is in practice. It's easy to end up on the wrong side of town, as long as you're trying to.

Sorry, but have we met somewhere? "..." No, it can't be. I'd never forget a beauty like you.

Everyone's got a goddamn opinion.

You gonna let her say that...!? "You want me to Object during an opening statement...?"

I never figured out exactly what you were, but a human, you are not.

...It's hard to get away with murder these days. People are still presumed innocent, at least on paper- But by the time they're in cuffs, there's hardly any shadows of doubt left. Because this whole world's lit-up. Mapped-out. Never unknown and Always Online.

it's morgan monday #otdevil

it's morgan monday...let ur hair down #otDevil

(Seductive Sunday...?)

It's laced with drugs. They think I'm a cop? ...They think I'm a cop and cops can't use drugs when undercover?

the responsible thing to do 😊 #otDevil

...Sorry, Serra—whatever you are. You were just born wrong. Not your fault, necessarily. ...If it were up to me, you'd get points for trying.
