「He's been stalling on this for a while now, not sure of how to address it any longer, back then, when he first had learned about it, he was angry, frustrated, but now, not so much, he just wants answers. Might as well do this before there is more people coming into the city.

He looks thoughtful, mostly, as he stares idly at the camera not caring to hide the Millennium Eye stuck in his left socket as he did when they took pictures at Delmar's home. If everything went right, this would be the last time he would be seen wearing that creepy eye.」

Since everyone seems to be on the topic lately, I might as well remind you that there is a murderer among us. One that remains unpunished.

「Or so he thinks. He cannot keep wondering any longer, he needs to know. He needs to make sure there isn't someone running around killing people just because they think it's right. If that's the case.」

You, the one who killed Yukari, he might have deserved what you did to him, you made him pay for what he did, but you don't have my gratitude for it. Don't think you can hide forever. I will find you, no matter what it takes. And I will make you pay on his behalf.

「The tiredness in his voice, the aloofness in the way he speaks, the passion lacking in his usually prideful speech, doesn't quite make up for a good threat, maybe it's is not intended that way, but, it doesn't mean he's less determined about it. He will find them, he will read every person's mind in this city with the Millenium Eye if he has to. He can, why not simply do it?」

Gilbert... I know. Yukari might have not paid for what he did to me, 「Though by whatever irony of destiny, he might be doing so right now.」 but I believe he paid for what he did to him. His murderer however...

「He does not need to complete that phrase, does he?」

If it turns out they did somehow, there will be no need for me to do anything.

「He had spoken much more than he intended, he's tired, that much is obvious.」

Learn from my mistakes.

[Henry urges.]

Protect those who are attacked. Prevent such evils from occurring where you can. But do not mete out punishment. The people of this city resent any deed they deem presumes authority on one's part. It shall only hinder your efforts to help them thereafter. Those with no qualms killing are not deterred; it becomes but a game to them.

[He does not like it, but it's their reality. The majority wants freedom, not justice. Henry shakes his head, then presses his knuckles to his mouth.]

That is all I will say on the matter. You seem... how fare you?

「Atem knows Henry has a point, he would get behind it any day, but it does not bode well with him to leave someone unpunished, as if what they did was right. If only it was that easy, if he just could protect them all from harm, he would. He already gave his life trying, back home, his Gods know it. Alas, he can't, here he's just one awfully young man trying to do things right the way he knows.

The next question is received with a little surprise and confusion. But it soon changes to a bit of a sad smile.」

... You saw her, didn't you?

「That's his answer. He's not okay and Henry should know why by now. But he's not complaining, and he will not. For all he knows, their efforts might be working, but it doesn't make it any less tiring after so long. And then, there is that shiny thing embedded into his very skull, whispering things to his mind, bringing forth the darkness within. Not that anyone can tell, especially not him.」

[Fortunately, Henry has no reason to suspect anything about the Eye.]

I did. She has no small amount of support. She will recover once she decides it is not piteous to depend on those whom love her.

「Gosh but how long till that happens!」

I guess we wait now... right?

[Henry dips his head.]

Indeed.

「He gives a little nod.」

All right... Thank you, Henry.

[Henry rubs the back of his head, sighs shortly, then says:]

'Tis no failure on your part that she is slow to recover, Atem. Do not scourge yourself with unmerited guilt.

「Wow, Henry, don't call him out like that! He's the one who is supposed to read minds, not you! Is he that obvious? He does seem a little taken aback by that, a little bashful, even.」

... I... I will try to remember that.

「Sometimes, one needs to hear these things.」

One hopes so.

[And he in farewell, before ending the feed.]
