“Does knocking a lot of people out count?” You start your confessional. “And I mean, there were A LOT of people.”
“Pay no mind to those types of scuffles unless you are being sued.” Fiora reassures.
“Cool. I also brutally assaulted a middle aged man after he killed my friend. Does that count?” You wonder. “A cop pal of mine watched me do it.” You add as if it would help somehow.
“My condolences for your loss.” Fiora acts very respectfully. “Perhaps, this case has already been dealt with.” She’s implying that Richard kept it off-record. Yay for corruption.
“You may be right, better safe than sorry though.” You shrug. Why do you always shrug when people can’t see you? Unless you are being observed another way somehow. Ghosts exist after all. “When I took down the cult, I tampered with the evidence to cover up for my two friends. Does that count too?”
“Did you personally hand over this evidence to the police?” Fiora asks for clarification.
“I didn’t! Handed it to my cop pal I mentioned before behind the scenes. We kept it all between us.” You say.
“He’d be the only one affected if it’s discovered. Care to share his name? I don’t want one of your allies to be in trouble either.” Fiora is willing to help others.
“Richard Wright. And, uh, he’s not my only friend who has done illegal activities.” You didn’t want to say but… “Can you help them too?”
“As long as you believe them to be trustworthy, it’d be my pleasure. Consider this your reward for the services you’re going to provide.” Fiora will do it. “Anything else?”
“Oh yeah, I shot a guy in the leg. I didn’t remember until like 2 days ago, but it was before I had a flame, am I in trouble?” You’re getting a little too casual talking about your crimes…
“I will look into it.” Fiora finally got a thing she can cover for you exclusively!
“Thank you! You’re great, Fiora!” You didn’t think evading the law could feel this fulfilling!
“This feeling is all so nostalgic, countless times I had to cover up for my father, always entangled in the most unsavory situations.” Fiora speaks fondly. “You’re worthy of carrying his name.”
“…That doesn’t sound good.” You point out. And that’s only pretending that you’re *actually* named after Kobashi.
“I never pretended like it was.” Fiora never liked her father getting into trouble!
