There's no point in doing things by halves.

And if I have to choose... the conclusion, certainly.

When it all comes together and you get to show off...

You've never worried you might get things wrong?

I'm always open to amending my conclusions based on further evidence.

But I also never submit my conclusions on a hunch. A misstep from me could come with a heavy cost, so the solution is to not make them.

In short, no. I don't worry about that.

Spoken like a true detective.

[...........]

Funny, having someone like you in hell.

The concept holds little meaning to me... we don't have a 'hell' where I'm from.

But what does 'someone like me' mean this time?

A figure of justice. A detective on the side of all that is good in this world.

And yet, here you are.

Here I am.

And what do you deduce from that?

A most simple conclusion. You have your sins to carry, dear detective.

I have another theory.

What is that?

I've met good people here. People who don't deserve to be condemned to some foreign culture's version of damnation.

So my theory is this. Whatever this place is, whether it used to be a cage and punishment for sinners or not, it isn't anymore. Something has wedged the door open, and people who should not be here are trickling through.

A fine theory. But in my opinion, there is evil to be found in everyone's hearts.

But I will agree it is present in far greater amounts in some over others.

If one may be consigned to a sinner's punishment simply for the act of existing, then what is the use of such a place at all?

To trap those who pose a true risk to others, perhaps. Consigned not simply by existing, but by choice and action.

I myself am an arbiter and one who removes malevolence. It is not surprising for me to be in such a place. My services are needed, and so I provide.
