Learning the truth will get you nothing.

[Raphael knows. Of course she does. For a moment, Rei wants to snap at her, but she quells her anger abrurptly with a breath.]

I am going to find out.

[This time, there is an edge of conviction.]

Whether or not the person who murdered him wants me to or not.

Maybe you noticed the city drowning in unnatural rage.

The murderer was most likely a victim.

voice private/unhackable;

[marsfireignite]

A coward who hides the body and doesn't confess to killing someone who couldn't defend himself without his Grace.

[Ah -- there's the anger, punctuating with a hiss.]

So go ahead and spread the word to the victim.

I will find out.

voice private/unhackable;

[expunger]

You do not know that the murderer took the body.

[marsfireignite]

What do you want.

[Abruptly calm and centered again. Though she is speaking around her clenched teeth.]

He's dead. You can have your week of peace free from the abomination. Leave me alone.

[Silence -- before Rei speaks coldly.]

Watch your tongue.

voice private/unhackable;

[expunger]

No.

He is my brother. I can say whatever I want.

voice private/unhackable;

[marsfireignite]

I really don't give a damn what you are.

Watch your tongue.

voice private/unhackable;

[expunger]

What you are is an arrogant child.
