This has to be Reno's pied-a-terre. He's one of the only people in Portofiro who could afford this kind of luxury.

Look, his hair's a bigger catastrophe than usual -- he just stuck his head out of the window.

Wow. An under pressure phase. He really pulled it off, right when it mattered.

She knew you had it on you, and was looking for one thing only.

Perhaps an avid Einzeltone collector?

Drink from the ancient spring of stoned teenage philosophising.

There exist brick walls with more awareness than him.

Liquidity far beyond your current state of matter.

A different type of magic.

No different to the beasts that wander the wilds.

His mind was busy doing something else.

Company scrip. Funny money.

A tell. You didn't make any connection between Tempo and Reyes.

Or they're Constanz's: Another manifestation of the murky impulse that got her mixed up with your people in the first place.

One of the perks of being the top of the social hierarchy: time becomes a suggestion, not a reality.

Hold up! Timing is too clear cut. She sabotaged the release by disappearing.

That's a word he learned very recently.

Twenty-six bones and no major blood vessels. She should be thanking you.

The final stage of colonisation -- the oppressed become strange parodies of the people that colonised them.

Better for everyone that you just take him at his word. The alternative... well, there's a recently vacated room at the bottom of a silo, if you're interested.

Mind reading level: Tutorial.

Alright, that's got to be the last step.

Into the dustbin it goes.

The most important history is the one that never makes it into the books, but defines how those books are written -- or aren't.

Dante... could it have been... Tempo's message... all will be forgiven... if you pull this off...

Dopamine, adrenaline, DMT, endorphins of every flavour and hue.

In spite of you, the conclusion slips into its natural niche -- common sense, inevitable in retrospect.

Circuits in your brain spark violently as they rebel against their own conclusions.

It makes no sense -- Melita wouldn't have you jumping through hoops to obtain the Lich's itinerary if she had a direct line to the Weeping Eye. And yet...

In spite of you, the knowledge slips into its natural niche in your brain -- common sense, inevitable in retrospect.

In spite of you, the knowledge slips into its natural niche in your brain -- obvious, inevitable.

This is a reality television show. The plot is too complex -- the writers must be high on their own ad revenue cash.

Nice try. He doesn't realise that you know better than he does the fate of his body double.

Frail attempts to find importance in what is an inherently meaningless and chaotic existence.
