The lieutenant's admission has caused great gratitude in Cuno. He is silent with it.
Between the stench of death and the neverending corpse-examination, he's under some stress there. Better not to poke.
There-there dead man, you were someone's child. It's all over now.
The lieutenant is quite surprised you managed to come up with an adequate case number.
He is deep in thought, eyes fixed on the bright red ring around the dead man's neck.
You knew it because you inspected your ledger! The lieutenant is relieved you know the protocol.
Working so close to the fumes coming from the corpse must be hard. You realize suddenly that the lieutenant has been barely keeping it together these past two items.
He's worried. But not for her -- for you. Hmm. What is it about this woman, if she's not connected to anything?
She seems to derive some bitter pleasure from this strange thought. As if the past will one day wipe the present away, like a tidal wave approaching.
The smile on her face has disappeared, replaced by the wary aspect of a cornered beast.
Nostalgia. Cooped up in the cabin, shaking... Terrible nostalgia. For yourself. For humans. It's too much to bear. She loves it.
