[It's a question that's been rolling around in the back of her mind since van Zieks' comment since the last trial, something that she hadn't originally thought to ask Susato but with today's commotion...]
Why were you awake on Thursday night? I had initially feared that you had been intentionally targeted by one of our killers, but now I wonder if it was something else.
Last week van Zieks mentioned that there was such a person who was able to be awake throughout the night, and that they had given him information about what had happened. Was that person you?
Then perhaps that is a mystery better left unsolved this eve.
Is there aught I might do to take your mind off things? We can continue speaking of the last few days, if there is more you want to speak of, but I cannot think it will do more than bring you sorrow tonight.

We must. I could not live with myself if we weren't to at least try.

Susato... may I ask you a question?

That person isn't me.
[She frowns, tilting her head slightly.]
I'm afraid I couldn't say why I was awake that night.

[She frowns, hesitating for a long moment.]
But I agree - it will do no good to keep trying to speak of such things.
