Well, we'll see how it goes. So far, he hasn't done anything particularly dangerous.

The one and only. I don't know anything about him killing us. For now, he seems to be a little preoccupied with yelling at Fonty.

Not too happy? You're not thinking he's a threat? I've seen this guy, he's practically just skin and bones and sweater, and he had an imaginary friend, for crying out loud! I'm having a hard time believing he's the one who killed Ryan.

Oh, don't worry about me. I got my arm back, so it's all good. I don't know how well Hector can fight, but Kyle, he never spliced up, did he?

An imaginary friend, huh? Must have drank a lil' too much of that stuff Hector's on. Or, he's just plain cuckoo. Wonder how he even made it to Mr. Ryan's office?

Hector can be a real mean thing when he's not too wasted, but I'm worried about Kyle. He's got a nice lil' crossbow, but not much else.

I doubt I could stay chained to a piano that long. *sad chuckle*

But he was our friend. I don't think I'll be able to forget him just like that. Even if he did kinda betray us and run off with Cohen.

*furrows his brow in concern* What exactly did he do to you? He kept threatenin' to turn me into one of his "sculptures"; said I was a "moth at the flame". I wrecked most of the store just fightin' him off once, but I guess he got the message 'cause he didn't bother me for a while after that.

I don't understand, though. Why would he rather stay down in this rottin' hellhole than come to topside with us?

No, he didn't do anything to me. Not this time around, anyway. He caught me when I was in the Fort, y'know, while I was looking out for Wilkins, but he didn't do anything. He just talked to me. On my way back out I didn't see him at all.

The thing with Martin is... as far as I can tell, he's gotten attached to Cohen. I don't know what's going on.

I have no idea. It doesn't make much sense to me that he'd be going back to his apartment now. But if he's really gone, we ought to, I don't know, go back to Frolic and set fire to his office or something. *stops* Or... maybe not.
