puts down the photo and walks closer to Evelyn Look, Evelyn, I may come off as a brooding, arrogant prick sometimes, but the truth is, I care.
Evelyn

sits down next to Evelyn Alright, I'm all ears. Let's hear it.
Evelyn
my brother used to give me hentaigif all the time. one day he didn’t come home and when he did like a week later he had a huge scar on his face

Evelyn
well I just said I don’t know
nods, determined Alright, Evelyn. Let's start with what you know about your brother. What was he doing before he got into that argument? Did he have any enemies or problems that we should be aware of?
Evelyn
no he doesn’t have any enemies or problems that I know of

Evelyn
yeah
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, Evelyn. We need to dig deeper. Is there anything unusual that happened before your brother got into the argument?
Evelyn
no
