[ Riley looks at him, really looks at him. Looks him over, and… ]

…Okay. I’m… I trust you… I do. You…

[ Atem wants to be strong enough so people won’t hurt him. He hasn’t, so far, involved people outside of guilty in his games. Scared teenagers who summoned him, hunted those who broke the moral code. Never anyone uninvolved. Never anyone…pure. It’s why she trusted him so much, to get another perspective on people to target. Riley never wants to hurt someone innocent, never again. That may be a tall order…but she believes Atem doesn’t either. He was so offended on Mattie’s behalf. That’s why she nods again, pensive but sure. ]

You’ve never changed your…what is it, your…rules? [ He talked about this like a game back in October. They got a little distracted because the heartfelt talk they had was set to music, but. She remembers. ] And… I don’t think Maya’s brainwashed, or anything.

[ She holds back a grimace. She doesn’t, she just thinks Maya is…somewhat insensitive about others at times. But that’s not what this is about, and she’s not gonna badmouth her boss for a conversation they had like over a month ago. ]

Just…be careful. Okay?
