[zelgadis falls quiet too, then looks back to him, suddenly pulled from his thoughts.]

Hm? You mean...

[engineers]

Mhm.

[ he lightly taps his hand against the inside of his left arm. ]

You don't have to tell me - honestly, it doesn't really matter. Our focus should really be on the party itself, anyway.

[ there's a pause, though, and eventually, bixing looks away again, and says softer: ]

...I hope you found some peace, too, Zelgadis.

[there's a glance at the gesture, then at his own arm.]

... I just wanted to get the truth out there. Whatever consequences followed, I was ready to accept them.

[ he nods. ]

You aren't the only one. [ ... ] When did you figure it out?

[hardrocklife]

Sunday, last week. [a pause.] The day Tuuri died.

[ whoof. his expression contorts a little, sympathetic and sad. that's heartbreaking. ]

I'm so sorry. [ again. it bears being said. ] Did someone tell you, or by process of elimination...?

When I returned to my room that night, the answer was right there. Waiting for me.

[engineers]

Oh my god.

[ HELLO ]

[hardrocklife]

[there's a bitter smile.]

It was like a higher power was telling me to go after him.

[ (the mods voice) MURDER, MURDER, MURDER

bixing presses his lips together in a thin line. ]

...There probably was. [ @ satan. ]
