[ he listens to this ]

... Then I should ask you to take mercy on me. I do not want to be spared.

[murdergate]

No.

[ smacking the glass. ]

I'm not taking 'mercy' on you like you're a lamed beast, Dion. That can't be how you see yourself. I don't accept it.

[agamid]

"Beast" is a rather apt description.

[ glances at him ]

I have lived my life in service to others, Sir Nodd. Tomorrow I shall endeavour to be selfish, and take my life by own hand if I must.

[murdergate]

Stop calling me 'Sir!' You didn't, before you wished me luck on my investigation of your crime. Were you so nervous you didn't notice?

[ adds my receipts ]

[agamid]

[ i cannot remember if that was me forgetting or dion doing it on purpose ]

... No, I was not nervous about being caught.

[murdergate]

[ wow i love it. schrodinger's subtext ]

You could have pulled me aside. No--you couldn't. I know. I know. I'm only angry at myself. Call me what you want.

[ turns, back to the glass, and then he sinks down to sit on the floor. ]

I'll leave when you tell me to.
