What’s the plan?
Leon
You’re eager.
Rin
I like finishing what I start.
(Leon chuckles softly.)
Leon
Good. Because Alistair Crane is a loose end I should have burned years ago.
Rin
Then why didn’t you?
(Leon tilts his head, watching Rin with something unreadable in his eyes.)
Leon

Rin
And now?
(Leon smiles, slow and dark.)
Leon
Now I know better.
(Silence. Rin watches him, reading something beneath the words. He doesn’t push, but he doesn’t let it go either.)
