?? given him a taste of her medicine?? 😂
p155: warner might not be, but kenji is
p160: wait before
delalieu died
he was talking about how his free hours had been spent watching his daughter die so why did warner have absolutely no clue he was doing that?

"Don't you dare start crying. If you start crying I'll start crying and we do not have time to cry right now. We have too much shit to do, okay? We can cry later, at a more convenient time. I have so much shit to cry about. So much. We should make, like, a list."
