Uh. I can't remember that well. I ran . . . [Out? Is that right? He ran out of the house?] Outside. And Kray was there. Some other people started coming around after, but I didn't see anyone else.

[But the more he thinks about this - ]

It doesn't really make sense, does it?

[slobjection]

Yes... I remember, you ran out.... it was on fire, and Kray was there. By himself. The fire didn't start in the house, did it? So, a Burnish is the most likely explanation....

[ logic and trick plays in the bg. ]

Yes... there is something out of place...

[burningrescue]

Yeah. It would have started near the front; it took longer to get to my room. So the Gov. . . he should've seen what happened, right? He was there.

[The next step is probably obvious to an outside perspective, but the idea that Kray is a Burnish doesn't even occur to Galo. There's a disconnect there, even though he's willing to consider Kray could have told any lies at this point. It's like he's being prompted to click on a picture to show where Kray was at the scene, and he keeps clicking randomly until the game ends rather than pinpoint the killer.

It's probably all right, though. This isn't court - he doesn't need to make the connection right away. The part that matters is just - ]

He really did lie about all of it, didn't he?

[slobjection]

[ no he definitely needs to discover all of this right this second, they are in court and he has to have a shocking revelation about it. ]

I'm afraid so.

[ he wants to offer more comfort, but falls short. ]

Some good things came out of it, though. You... for instance. And you working with Lio.
