4 Eugene "Oh, it's you... Didn't think we'd see you walking any time soon." He looks to the man sitting behind him. "Alain, look, it's the cowardly cop."

10 Kim Kitsuragi "Our condolences for your losses," he says with a little nod, but the remaining Hardie boys don't seem to register his words.
  • 6
11 Electrochemistry He's very, *very* drunk.

16 You "Is he okay?" (Point to Alain.)
  • 17
17 Eugene "Does he look like he's okay?"
  • 18
18 Alain He does not. His unshaven face is almost grey, and he reeks of piss, sweat, and booze.
  • 23
19 You "How badly was he hurt?"

24 Eugene "He wasn't, that's the thing." He sighs heavily. "Titus, Theo, Dennis, Angie... they're all gone, but he got away without a scratch."
  • 25
25 Alain "I just..." He seems barely able to keep his head up. "...there's nothing left. NOTHING!"
  • 26
26 Volition He has lost the will to live.
  • 28
27 Empathy It's survivor's guilt. He feels like he should have died with the others. He may kill himself if he doesn't find a new purpose -- or else go on in this way, not dead, but not really living either.

  • 37

56 Kim Kitsuragi "Was this really the best idea?" The lieutenant pauses to think for a moment. "I guess you may have prolonged his existence a bit. If he can still remember this when he sobers up."
  • 57
57 Eugene "If you think this will keep him from offin' himself, I'll make sure to remind him... so far I've just been pouring whiskey in him to keep him sedated." He nods.
  • 51
58 Alain His eyes, which remain fixed on yours, become somewhat clearer, and he smiles a malevolent drunken smile. "Dennis is a dead man... just doesn't know it yet..."
  • 53
59 Eugene "Couldn't help you even if I wanted to." He shakes his head. "The whole harbour is in lockdown and Evrart sent word to sit tight and wait for instructions."

  • 136
74 Eugene "Alain? He won't be leading anything." He turns to his friend. "I mean, look at him -- the man's broken through and through."
  • 72
75 Eugene "That wouldn't be funny even if we weren't surrounded by the ghosts of our fallen friends."
  • 137
76 Eugene "Me? No, man... I'm not a leader." He smiles suddenly. "You know Titus only recruited me 'cause I play the guitar? Said the team could use the morale boost."
  • 138
77 You "Didn't Titus have a brother? Tibbs?" Variable["tc.tiberius"] == true
  • 78
78 Eugene "Tiberius? He doesn't wanna get mixed up in our shit. Titus has been buttering him for years on the count of all this being *fun as fuck*."
  • 79
79 Eugene "But he's got his window fitting business, a wife with two kids and the third one on the way... No way he's gonna leave all that."
  • 72
80 You "You can do it. *Eugenie Boys* has quite the ring, doesn't it?"
  • 83
81 You "Sounds like you gotta go with Mr. Outside Hire, then."
  • 82
82 Eugene "I ain't gonna stick around for that." He shakes his head resolutely. "I only stayed because of Titus. *There* was a man born to lead."
  • 88
83 Eugene "What? Fuck no! *If* I'd stay we'd keep the name to honour Titus."
  • 84
  • 85
  • 90

  • 89
85 You "That's a noble thought. You're going to do alright. No one is born to lead."
  • 86
86 Eugene "Titus was..." His eyes meet yours. "But thanks for the vote of confidence. If I don't stick around, it's all over. So I guess sorta I have to now."

  • 139
90 You "Hardie boys without a Hardie? That's just stupid."
  • 91
91 Eugene "Cop, you just don't understand how things work." He exhales sharply in frustration, but then quickly collects himself.
  • 127
92 Eugene "Nah. Garte said she took off some time before the firefight, that's all. Trying to remember if there was anything... oh, yeah, he said she seemed to be in real hurry."

  • 133
133 Eugene He looks off to the side, eyes filled with worry. "I haven't *got* shit, Al."
  • 134

139 Logic He's not a drinker. Another good thing about him.
  • 132
140 Logic This is not *completely* ludicrous. Him and Titus were the only detectives of the bunch. Titus more, but Eugene at least knew how to think along.

154 Kim Kitsuragi "That's kind of you to say." The lieutenant closes his notes. "Take care of your friend, okay?"
