I found a [...] piece of correspondence inside the library's copy of Dead Until Dark. If you believe this to be yours, please DM me with a family-friendly general overview to confirm and I'll return both the letter and its supplemental materials to you. No questions as

NIKO.
Prior to your (well-deserved) promotion, where did you seek time alone?
MARYLE.
How long does cooling off take you these

Absolutely not. I will not do this with you.

You are unbelievable. Of course you are m ou her responsibility, and she is yours. That is what what you do for people you love. There's no world in which you are a burden for confiding in someone you trust about something that has had lasting repercussions for your health. What if something had happened to you? What then?

Do you really hold m us her in such low regard? Do you really think so little of her, and of what she would choose to carry for you? You're a very smart man, Domingo, but you're clearly selective about when you choose to use that big brain of yours.

Did you tell her that?

You'll have the chance to tell her. But I should be honest with you — it's a nice sentiment, and it doesn't change very much in the grand scheme of things. You should have told her. You should have told me as well.

A stern talking to from Bishop sounds like my idea of a heavenly Friday night.

Second to a stern talking to from you, naturally.

Domingo, I can hardly presume to know how Bishop might have responded. Perhaps I would have been fired, or reassigned, or made to prostrate myself before the entire organization. All I can tell you is this: I would regret none of it. I would have preferred to know. To be able to support you when you needed it, this is what friends are for.

It is. And there's no point in dwelling on what you perhaps ought to have done, or on the possible repercussions of telling us. However, when Maryle decides to speak with you — and she will, in time — I suggest you prioritize making it clear that this was not a matter of mistrust. I can only speculate about what's going through her mind right now, but I imagine that's the foremost concern.

I can't fault anyone for not having a lighter on them in an emergency. Or in general, considering.

You're reading into things. I doubt Ishaan is interested.
