“... Well I might not be her family’s biggest fan,” She grumbles as she rests her cheek on her remaining hand, “But if anyone’s taking the fall for tonight, it’s <span class="mu-i">SMYTHE, RIVKA, AND THE LATE BERNARD HAUSER!</span>” She announces, as if that solves everything! “Anyone can see she and Darren were being manipulated-”
“Don’t change the fact that she conspired with her pops.” Retorts Chuck as he drives at a leisurely pace along the corpse-riddled road. “Willingly admitting it, though, well…” The old man shrugs as you pass a few <span class="mu-s">NOTWOLF</span> carcasses baking in the sun, “Neither of ‘em will get off scot-free, but they’ll make it one way or another....”
“We’ve got evidence of Rivka’s involvement, at least…” Adds Pepper as she fiddles with her <span class="mu-s">DIGITAL CAMERA</span>, “But still… nnrgh…”
She’s still gonna get the truth out there… It’s okay to feel <span class="mu-i">conflicted</span> about it, you shrug.
“Yea, but…” Pepper begins before trailing off, “... you know what? It’s tomorrow’s problem.”
“Exactamundo…” Nods Raj as he continues to lean back in his seat, “It’ll work out for everyone one way or another… I know it!”
You don’t exactly share your pal’s confidence, but you get the spirit of his message. Rather than push the point any further, you let out a sigh and readjust your seat a bit. Yep, you nod, it’s tomorrow’s problem…
