I didn't believe you were trying to frame anyone and the process of it all is clever. The only guns known are mine and Wenzhou's, so it was kind of confusing. Did you get your hand on one somehow? Wolfwood said it was gunfire... And I don't think any psych can mimic ballistics that way.

It's nice... to be around other people and see them having a good time.
