i have a question. there's no right or wrong answer, i'm just wondering what people think.

suppose somebody came here, and outwardly they seemed like an average person. kept to themselves, didn't make trouble, maybe were a little bit weird but not, like, offensively so. you've never seen them do anything wrong. they seem pretty harmless. they're just a normal, fine, generally boring person.

then imagine somebody else said that they knew that person, and that all the niceness was just an act, and really that person was dangerous. really dangerous. and that the person hurt people in really bad ways. but imagine there was no proof of it, really, just that upset person's word against the boring person's.

how would you decide who to believe? would you only go by what you saw yourself, or only by what happened here and not where they came from, or what? would you believe anyone at all?

like i said, there's no right or wrong answer, i guess. i just wonder how you would make a decision either way, in a situation like that.

Is that why you wanted to know his face? So you'd know who to look for?

...No, you mean you have a way to catch him, so long as you know what he looks like. Right?

...You know, I was talking to a guy who said he's a police detective. And that he works for the Moon Knights.

I bet the Knights welcome guys with all sorts of useful policeman skills.

You don't have to. I'm not going to tell you that you should or shouldn't, either.

...Besides, then you'd have to leave the Spaghetti Shack and I'd still be there suffering through it all alone, yuck. :P

that would be the true cruel action
ditching you to the spaghetti shack on your own
