I said on more than one occasion, it's not unusual for him to refuse to cooperate with those checks. [she sighs.] I had hoped that if he cooperated, people might begin to look past that, but...

I feel like - I'm not sure. I feel like we missed something.
If it isn't, then an even more pointless sacrifice will be made.
[ hateful. hateful!!! he has a bad feeling about how this one's gonna go but he won't say it. ]
Maybe. Or, someone was hiding it, when we did. I tried to comb over the Cemetery to make sure no one hid anything. I'm glad for it, since we found the Vision, but ultimately...

Maybe there's something we could pull off with our psychs. I wonder if utilizing photokinesis could create a blacklight.
