[ That kind of sounds like the ends justifying the means, but he can't remember that phrase right now to comment on it... He guesses maybe that much really doesn't matter in this case, if the truth is still the end goal, regardless of his reason for wanting it. But even then, he still feels like he did a pretty crappy job of going after it. ]
I just feel like I was kind of... wishy washy about the whole thing. Like, if it was my pops out there instead of me, and his roommate looked suspicious, he would have come straight out with it and gone after him! He wouldn't have hesitated and been weak about it like I was.
[ ...His dad's roommate is him, but he's not really thinking about the implication that hard. Partly because it's true anyway. ]
W-well, I've been officially assigned to two cases and directed the investigations for both of them, but they haven't... actually gone to trial yet, so...
[ ze..ro..... ]
...Yeah. I guess so. And this was definitely really weird.
[ wtf website did the aliens go to that gave them this understanding of the legal system ]
Maybe I should tell them how they're supposed to work...?

[ He watches Sebastian thoughtfully for a moment. ]
Some things come with experience. As you've said, these trials are different than what you're used to.

There is nothing to be lost by telling them. [He can definitely go tell them, but jury's out (haha) if anything will change.]

Yeah... And it's something only I can do...
[ He closes his eyes for a moment and nods, like he's trying to reassure himself of that fact. ]
I'll try it. In case they do any more of these studies.
[ Because... surely they won't have to do another trial during this one. ]
