...Riou, damnit...
Sorry to my fellow officers, but Officer Riou is going to be out of commission for awhile. He got busted up something awful by a malice monster. Had he his chip out... No, no use in thinking like that.
The stress just keeps building up. Every time I get a bit of relief, something happens to make it all seem worse again. I'm getting a little sick of the back and fourth. Mentally, emotionally, physically... I'm getting to my breaking point here. After this is all over, I'm just going to fish for a few days. I don't care if I won't catch anything. I need some zen in my life.
Until then, I guess it's back on another patrol. Let's try to have it be one where I don't have to go rescue someone or run into a pack of hungry monsters, eh? Not that I mind these things normally, it's just... too much of anything will kill you.
[Private to Cecil]
We need to talk.

So...
[And he goes silent for a minute, then begins to hum a soft, broken song.]
[private]
You're not alone, Cecil.
[private]
Don't fall down in the... cold...
Rain...
[private]
[private]
...Take... me to... that... distant... future...
[And a loud flesh-meets-hardsurface sound, and he stops singing.]

Nevermind, Cecil.
