[ he knows. and he frowns about it. ]

Unfortunately. It's better to hope for the best in that situation, though.

I think this is about as best as we can get, here. Just hoping's not gonna do much...'side from let us down when things turn out worse.

Yeah, but if we give up all hope, it's hard to move forward.

[ shakes his head ] It's not about giving up hope. It's about...knowing what you can actually do, and what's out of your hands.

Take a break, kid. Everything's been a mess since we got here and we're still looking for answers. We might be able to do something, we just don't know it yet.

[third_alternative]

I'm not saying we can't! And we already found who did it, so we did something at least.

I'm just saying...there's no use in wishing we could've kept him from dying, because it's too late for that. And all that'll do is make you feel worse. At least finding the killer is doing something, making sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm using it to motivate me to not let it happen again.

...you think there'll be more murders?

I hope not. I'm going to do everything in my power to try and stop it.

[ nods sharply, decisively, but there's the beginning of a cocky grin too ]

Good. You and me both, then.

[ smiles at that ]

I'll be looking forward to working with you.
