[Mai is standing in a MAC apartment, her eyes distant and slightly red, as though she had been crying but she's managed to wipe away almost all the traces of it. She's in a dark red blouse and a black skirt, and she tugs on the fabric absently as she speaks, as if she is uncomfortable wearing it.]

How long has she been dead?

I don't know. I saw her yesterday afternoon.

[xuffasch]

Alright, so less that twenty-four hours. You need a detective on-scene.

You didn't touch the body, did you?

[notenthused]

...A detective.

Yes, I did. I wanted to make sure I couldn't help her.

[xuffasch]

Yes, a detective. I'd come myself, but I'm busy.

Well, now you've contaminated the evidence. Good job.

[notenthused]

You know what? I don't care.

How do I contact one?

[xuffasch]

I think you'd care about finding out who offed your friend.

The ones at the police are passable. ( a number i guess )

[notenthused]

I was more interested in seeing if she was still alive.

Thanks.

[xuffasch]

Well, wasn't that obvious?

If you mean have I ever walked into a friend's home to find them dead then yes.

Of course.

[xuffasch]

You should pay more attention. People die a lot, here.

[notenthused]

I don't think I want to get used to that idea.

[xuffasch]

She'll be back. It's not the end of the world.

[notenthused]

[Someone else had told Mai that, but she didn't really believe it.]

How does that work?
