Mr. Delacreaux, I would love to discuss the details of our date whenever you are free to do so.

[Rictor]
I believe I won you for that lunch you owe me.

My dear friend,

There are many troubling things occurring in the city of late, and I do not doubt that you are in the middle of them, attempting as always to serve justice and make it right. It has been some time since I have seen or heard from you, and I am concerned. Are you well?

[GALE.]

[...] How does one arrange a date? And comport oneself during one?

[KORPORAL RICTOR CASSUL.]

I have a question, Sir. It is [...] unrelated to our training, but I hope you might have some insight.

[QUENTEN DELACREAUX.]

Good evening.

Men and women need convictions. Perhaps it's that that separates us from the animal kingdom; although, it would seem the laws of nature act of its own prescribed notion of conviction, but regardless it's a palpable and real measurement to the societal, mental, and emotional health of the human being, of any sentient being that can be able to grasp that sense of conviction.

Yet it is on some days those convictions are put to the test, and you begin to question each motive you've ever done. You begin to ask yourself, are the ways in which we battle everyday to make our lives better, more complex, even remotely worth it if there are people around who are killing, murdering, and simply depriving innocents of their livelihoods?

I realize, of course, that the opinion I'm spewing forth today is hardly timely, and comes on the heels of brilliant investigative work. That, really, I'm delayed in my response, but really it took time for me to come to terms with my very own convictions.

My convictions are my own, and anyone who knows me well will know them. That being said, it's at these darkest of times we begin to understand that our convictions must be altered, not changed but altered in such a way, that they change perhaps even the very fabric of the person you are. I have sat too long staring at my experiments, when I realize my brilliance could be used in far more notorious and useful of ways.

So, that being said, the person or thing responsible for these grotesque murders will be stopped. By me. I will, of course, require help, but I will not sit quietly in my study letting the world pass by when there are those being killed under my watch. My conviction is that no one should be allowed to die until it is simply their time, and it is with that strongest of convictions that I will make certain that such things do not occur so long as I have the power and ability to stop it.

So... without further ado, anyone with any... substantial information should come forward. I realize there are 'privacy' issues, so if you wish to discuss this in private do so, but know that I'm your best option in catching these killers.

[Private to Penny]

Have you baked any of those cakes you're so brilliant at? I've been craving them... OH! Nevermind, no time for that. Would you like to hear what I'm working on now?

[Private to Kiernan]

That brew is finally ready should you feel you want to try some!
