- Generally speaking, it would be dishonourable to take it. But then... it looks like a military uniform! And wearing that is very honourable. So, a conflict of honour. It's up to you.

The chair is not as austere as the rest of the booth. A thin grey pillow is attached to the seat, secured to the stiles by black ribbons.

Stale air floods through your nostrils. Not a single mote of dust floats inside your lungs, though. The inside of the booth is immaculate.

The drawers are empty save for old time sheets and receipts. One small box, however, does hold some cheap painkillers. They are slightly out of date.

Oh boy, where to start. Elevated risk of dementia? Mini-strokes? Prophet's disease? Sudden death? Hair death? Erectile malfunction? Critical flatulence? Watery blood? Black mucous? Uncontrollable weeping? Increased sensitivity to l'Opéra? Inoperable joint disorder? Total spinal collapse?

- I don't see what the big deal is. This sounds pretty normal to me.
- I'm a cop. I have cop things to do. Murders to solve. People to help. Kim's counting on me.
- Disco. Mirror balls. Kick-ass moves. Boogie beat.
- ... oh my God, I went up to a woman and actually said I want to have fuck with you earlier. What the hell is wrong with me?
- I hope I'm not fucking René over by taking his painkillers.
- I am scared I will never be held or loved in this world again.

- Maybe this was a bad idea...
- Yes. Moving along.
- The enormity of the case before you dwarfs the list of side-effects. You can't even see the side-effects anymore. They're nothing to you.
- The imagined dazzle of light overwhelms any list of potential side-effects. Any negative thoughts are drowned out by the fantastic blast of disco.

Nothing incriminating catches your eye. The cabinets are clean and their sparse contents meticulously organized. There's a framed photograph on the table.

It's a black and white photo of a young couple out in a street fair. The man -- René -- is dressed in a Royal Carabineer uniform. The girl is young and very pretty. She is smiling playfully at the camera.

"You really took an interest in that old soldier." The lieutenant sounds surprised. "I guess there's no harm taking the picture. The dockworkers would probably throw it in the trash anyway."

- "Fine." He nods. "But let's move. I don't want to be seen snooping around here."
- "You're really interested in that old soldier," he remarks, surprised. "Not sure I understand your fascination, but sure -- as long as it doesn't take up a whole lot of time."
- "Of course you are," he says matter-of-factly. "What murder investigation would be complete without an arbitrary photo collage."
