You know, after all the months fawning after Adam I'd imagined that some of you would tire of his presence. But all I hear in the dining hall is about Adam. "Adam saved me during a flood." This person had a tryst with Adam. Adam is such a wonderful person

Yes. Still, it's preferable over custodial duty.

Issues. [Pause.] Numerous issues. [Pause.] This is the point where I imagine that we need some sort of code.

Public/Spam

Fine, be that way. I can't say that I'm surprised. You've always been far too sensitive about these things.

[The art room! It takes Crane a while to find it, because he's literally had no reason to go there before. Time to wait outside, because you need a warden to let you in there.]

[Crane looks slightly confused at Eddie's rather bright attitude. The last time they met he'd been planning bloody murder against Arthas, so the change in demeanor was surprising. Just like how Crane was feeling uncomfortable with what Eddie had suggested for a host of new reasons.]

Good afternoon. You seem very- [How to put it without being too offensive?] chipper.

[Crane steps inside the art room, glancing around. It looks... like an art room. Time to turn to Eddie.]

Arthas, for one. [Crane pauses.] And you. In general.

Yes and no. [Neutral answers for the win. Crane takes the stool that Eddie offers and leans against the table. Eddie's unwavering smile is disturbing him somewhat.]

You can't try and get Arthas back for what he did. That, combined with what you've done in the past, could end up getting you demoted. It happens, Nygma. [Said with seriousness and maybe even some measure of visible concern.]

[Crane looks away, looking frustrated.] I told you that I wouldn't tell Eames. You don't have to lie to me about it.

[Because as far as Crane was concerned, that was the only reason that Eddie would change his mind so fast.]

How charitable. [Crane shrugs.] I'm glad that you've listened to my advice. Chances are Arthas will barely recall what happened in a month.

[That did seem to be Arthas's way of dealing with problems. Blinding rage followed by continuing indifference.]

Hypothetically. I like to imagine that he progressively rots each week and has to request that the Admiral patch him up. [Crane shrugs, smiling.] It's a pleasant thought.

It's the scientific conclusion, considering his lack of normal human functioning.

[A slight pause.] Yes. Presumably due to the lack of oxygen flow.
