[Action]

[Firo's leaving 1246 Williams Road late in the morning when he spots his regain. Outwardly, the car's nothing too remarkable. Except that the sides are badly scratched and the windshield is mostly broken. The thing's definitely been through the wringer.]

What the-? This thing..?

[It's not even his, unless... The sudden presence of the car has Firo a little unnerved. He knows he's seen this before, and he's pretty sure it's Szilard's. That brings up a question: why did he regain it?]

The hell is goin' on here..?

[He growls and marches to the vehicle. Though this is worrying him- he's been trying to just forget about Szilard- he's going to do his best not to show it.

After a few moments of slowly circling the car, he attempts to push it into the street. It stays stubbornly in place. Passers-by might see Firo glaring resentfully at the car before kicking it in the tire. He'll be alternating between attempting to move it and anxiously examining it.

He's not Szilard, Mayfield's must just be trying to mess with him.]

[Phone]

[A little later in the day, Firo picks up the phone. Trying to sound casual, he asks:]

Hey, have any of you ever gotten somethin' from Mayfield that's... not exactly yours?

[He laughs.]

...Never thought I'd hear somebody say that.

... Am I wrong?

No, I agree with you. It's just, ya know, most people outside of the Mafia or the Camorra would never say somethin' like that. Most people aren't too fond of us, you could say.

Whether they acknowledge it or not, everyone is a part of something... so unfortunately, seeing something that they are not a part of is likely to make them feel uneasy. Especially if they're fooled into thinking they're apart of nothing that compares.

...When did you become so smart?

[But he likes that explanation. Especially because it makes him feel superior to Officer Noah.]

O-oh... um... by skipping middle school, I guess?

Sounds like a great idea. And what do you do when you're skippin' like that?

I-It's kinda weird to explain. Nothing good, I guess... But I learned to say strange things that sound smart, at least!

Oh, c'mon, they never teach you anything useful there anyway.

[Not that he'd know, he didn't even get through elementary school.]

Is that a useful skill?

[ She giggles. ] Even if learning isn't always useful, it's still super fun! I wish my head was filled with useless knowledge too! [ Don't worry, Satou, you have enough useless knowledge to go around. ]

I dunno... But I've gotten this far, haven't I?

...How is it fun?

[He laughs.]

Very true, I like how you think.

It's fun to realize you don't know everything, I think! If you learn everything than that's more boring than learning new stuff, right?

[ She giggles, a bit embarrassed. ] You too! Your thinking is nice too!

Yeah, but... learnin' outta a book is no fun.

Thanks.

Well, maybe it's just more fun if no one is trying to force you to learn from the book? I find researching fun, at least.

Yeah? What do ya research?

Mm~... That's a secret~!

What? Ya can't just bring it up and then not tell me!

[ She giggles deviously. ] But now you're making it more fun not to tell!

[Really? Really?]

But... That's not fair!

Maybe if you beat me at Black Jack again I'll tell~!

You'd better. And it's not an "if," it's a "when."

[He can't admit that he's actually concerned about whether or not he can win.]

Then it's a deal! Next time you win I promise to tell! But not until then~!

How long am I gonna hafta wait for this..?

Um... I dunno. Do you have things to be doing right now?

You kiddin' me? There's never anything to do here.
