...Probably you.

@Artifact

No, it's not.
*Looks at you sternly*
If this really isn't some ploy to waste my time, then you need to understand that you're not with them anymore. Don't hide their secrets.

@Valiance

Not sure what I’d gain from tricking you at this point.

@Artifact

I’ve seen people make worse decisions. So you really don’t know?

Someone is coming to bargain or kill you or something.

@Valiance

Chief might come here, but probably not to kill me. You, on the other hand, who knows?

@Artifact

I’m not taking any lives just because. Look at you, you’re defenseless now. There’s no honor in that.

@Valiance

Is honor the point of all of this?

Then let’s get you out of here.

@Valiance

@Artifact

I’m not a cop, man. I just save lives.

@Valiance

*Takes your hand*

@Artifact

*Pulls you up and supports you with your arm over my shoulder*
You just need to promise me you’re not gonna go plowing through any more dimensions when we’re done.

Then it sounds like you weren't in the right job market.

@Valiance

For all the talk about setting a trap, this could easily be a trap for me.
