I only heard their . . . welcome packet a few times [when people read it to him out loud] but it mentioned death. more than once. I thought I might be overthinking it, getting worried for no reason, but there's--
[ yeah, it's cuz he lacks basic respect and empathy for other people
but, he sighs, shoulders slumping. ]
It's a tragedy, of course, to be sure, but...I barely knew him at all. It's sad and horrible, yes, but I'm more concerned about what this means now for the rest of us. By what method did he die? Who was the culprit--one of the Avatars, perhaps? Will it happen again, then?
I can't allow myself to be distraught when there's a chance that there's information that could prevent more meaningless deaths.

[But,]
Deaths happen, but-- Fuck, it isn't as if you want them happening to people just trying to get one good turn.
