[There is a pause while Holmes frowns at the childlike handwriting, not really sure how honestly to respond. He is not, after all, completely callous.]

There were casualties. Yes.

At the office? I don't believe so, no.

[More of a pause. Holmes sucks with kids.]

[Shoshanna realizes who it must have been.]

It had to be done.

[An awkward pause. She isn't good with gratitude. The writing is hurried, like she's trying to get it over with.]
