Dialogue
402- "This could be our witness."
- You see a young man on a balcony nursing a cigarette. His eyes have been following you…
- "Um, is this about the questions again? 'Cause I don't really know anything..." She puts…
- "Everything's still cool here, officer," the street vendor assures you.
- "The shine on these sunglasses lasts a lifetime, officer! One hundred percent guaranteed!"
- You were right. That streethawker really was stealing from the back of his own truck.
- An old call box with a matrix of push buttons lists all the companies in the East Delta…
- "Oh, it's you again. Are you looking for a die?"
- A thick layer of coal dust covers the furnace, colouring it pitch-black.
- Both cables are unplugged from the breaker box.
- This orange machine is dead-still. It has a hand-cranked ice cream churner and an…
- The bear's eyes are dead and empty, the corpse inside the fridge slowly rotting... The…
- A few bricks have fallen off, revealing a compartment behind the wall. It's too dark to…

Notes
461- "Are we done here, Gary?" (Conclude.)
- "Because they're not really human, right?"
- The lieutenant gives you a quick glance. Then, still looking straight ahead, he joins you with a higher-pitched and slightly more melodic trill.
- "Thank you for sharing this wonderful opinion on human sexuality." He pretends to read the economics book open on the table.
- The lieutenant gives you a sharp look. He's bailed you out, again, but he's none too pleased about it.
- "Sounds like the victim was unconscious. Or at least incapacitated. Well done, detective." He nods to you.
- "Good god, detective. One more stunt like that and they'll have you institutionalized."
- The lieutenant nods to you. "That lines up with previous testimony, doesn't it? Well done, detective."
- "A bunch of what, detective?"
- "That is unhygienic. And dangerous. And it does not endear you to me -- just wanted to make that clear, okay?"
- "He said I'm his 'pig hooker' or something, whatever that is."
- "I guess I got my answer." The lieutenant gives you his usual firm stare.
- "You're making it worse, officer," the lieutenant says quietly. His eyes never leave the woman's face.
- "Thank you." He pockets the drugs. "I'm doing this to help you. We need to focus on the case."
- "Suit yourself, but I need to decompress first." (Turn to leave.)
- "You were making prank calls." Not a muscle moves in the lieutenant's face.
- "Big deal?!" Not a muscle moves in the lieutenant's face.
- "Don't trust me -- trust the Mother. I'm only the messenger, homes." His voice echoes in the cold air of the church.
