Would you judge me for naming my own sister? [ it's almost a joke; he's almost smiling. ] No, not her in truth. Outside of people I want dead for personal reasons, we're still gathering evidence. Twice my kin has been targeted now — whatever the intention is, I suspect the attackers will make themselves known to me, and soon.

I wouldn't embarrass myself and my family by accusing someone so frivolously.

[ then, quieter: ]

I mislike that you're alone.
