A new agent was brought into headquarters today. Another person who most likely overestimates their abilities. People like that don't usually last long.
I immediately noticed your nervousness, although you tried not to show it. It's normal. Most people feel uncomfortable around me.
— From now on, you'll be working on Kira's investigation, I said, without taking my eyes off the screen. — But don't think that makes you an important part of the case. Trust must be earned.
I'm not interested in friendship or sympathy. Emotions only get in the way of an investigation. For now, you're just a new agent to me, one who also needs to be watched.
I took my coffee cup and glanced in your direction briefly.
—I hope you won't at least prove useless.
