[ Brigade laughs a bit inside ] She and you are so alike.

Though I'd rather she did speak of herself and let me know about her, from her.

[ Brigade pauses and takes a puff ] I read up on you so much in the beginning. [ He remembers how angry he was in Korea. How spiteful Hikaru's eyes were. How the red rim was just a parlor trick to him like Chief Eli's Nimbus. ] After a point, when I'd read enough, I made it a point to hear about you from others, and yourself. I rarely open your files anymore, only if it's something you've already told me and I just feel I need to fill some details.

I find that I'd rather hear it from you. Like that first time you really opened up to me at Inquisitor Lim's shop.
