402- The same two neon lit shapes -- a man and a woman. A ray of backward motion explodes from…
- This is the door to the pinball workshop that you left barred on the inside.
- Just as you look at the flowers, a gust of wind raises them from the roof, picking them…
- The elevator stands open, inviting you to step inside.
- All these mesmerizing machines, just waiting to be plugged back in and played.
- You can almost see the shape of a man and a woman, writhing inside -- bathed in drug…
- So this is where they brought faulty pinball machines to fix them up -- a long time ago…
- You clearly see footprints in the downy carpet of dust covering the workshop floor.
- Soft, light brown eyes look back at you, directly into the space behind your eye sockets…
- "Titus Hardie gave me a recording. On it, the deceased says he intends to rape someone."
- "What was what?"
- You made the right call there. It feels good. Pure.
- Six crumbling petals rest on your palm. They're white, a bell-shaped crown.
- "You think this will make them cooperate?"

Notes
461- "We should think about getting back to the mainland. To get help. He'll be safe here. If we don't take too long..."

- "Why? I don't really need you anyway."
- "I'm staying because I have to protect the investigation from you..."
- "Let me ask you something..." He leans in to inspect you.
- "Did you know I don't like bad addict cops?" He stares at you over his glasses. "Almost no one in the RCM does."
- There is no movement on the lieutenant's face as he stares intently at the trash container.
- "I told you he can't be trusted! I told you, I told you..." the little rat repeats it six or seven times. "I told you he'd steal the shit!"
- "Another sane decision, detective."
- "I don't know about stealing people's very colourful clothes like that..." He looks on disapprovingly.

- You can almost see the blood curdle in the lieutenant's veins. Miraculously he remains silent.
- "Thank you." He returns it to his holster, then looks at the room: "Nothing to worry about here, people -- my partner likes to play these jokes. He's what yo…

- "More ammo on our belt for the remainder of the investigation. Good find, detective."
