He swallows, nervous. "She got angry, because she said she could've shot herself or me when I did that, and told me to leave."
4:15 PM "So I left, and then, she started laughing that I was... weak? Sad that she rejected me. Laughing at me, maybe. I do not know."
4:16 PM D<Don1Charles> Charles writes this down, opening his mouth to speak in confusion and stop Rolf before letting him continue. Muttering that her 'finger was also on the trigger'.
4:16 PM He nods along slowly and writes.
4:16 PM S<•Soulless> He begins to fidget. "She threw a snowball at me, and I thought, I thought- she was hitting me, so I ducked and waited... and she told me I had... major issues..."

4:17 PM D<Don1Charles> "So... she threw a snowball at you twice, then?"

4:17 PM S<•Soulless> "No, when I was walking away."
4:18 PM D<Don1Charles> "I need you to tell me more, then, about the gun part."
4:19 PM S<•Soulless> "She was just... walking with her gun out. I tripped and fell into her, and she got angry."
4:19 PM "We were talking about needing to be ready for anything."
4:19 PM D<Don1Charles> "She pointed her gun AT you, Rolf. Explain to me that part." He says, agitated.
4:20 PM S<•Soulless> "Oh. Um. She said I had major issues. I said, yes, she did too."
4:20 PM "She asked what they were. So I repeated what I saw the last time she gave me permission to read her."
4:21 PM (ler's redact the snowball part)
4:21 PM "Then I asked a few more questions along those lines, because... well, she asked me. I was curious."
4:21 PM D<Don1Charles> (ok)
4:22 PM S<•Soulless> "She looked.. upset. I wanted to help her, because I knew. So I walked to her and she said to step back or she would treat me as a hostile. But I knew she wouldn't- shoot me that is. And if she did that's okay, too."
4:22 PM "Evan said once that if someone can't get over something then it's okay to help them. I offered, explained. She put the gun against my shoulder. I took it and put it to my head, to show I trusted her. She wouldn't hurt me."
4:23 PM D<Don1Charles> "She gave you permission to read her? Alright..." He says, frowning. "She asked you what her problems were?? That is very important."
4:23 PM S<•Soulless> "Told her to think about it, and then I walked off. She threw the snowball at me then, and I thought she had hit me."
4:23 PM D<Don1Charles> "Put the gun to your head?" He says all these things with an emotion of surprise.
4:24 PM S<•Soulless> "She went into my office several months back to ask me about it. She discerned something was off about me, but didn't know what, and wanted me to say. So she gave me permission to read her, and I did."
4:24 PM "Yes, because I trusted her."
4:24 PM D<Don1Charles> "And... you called her Ainsley?"
4:24 PM "Why did you call her that?"
4:25 PM S<•Soulless> "...Is... that not her name?"
4:25 PM D<Don1Charles> "According to site files her name is Riena Welches. Is that not who she is?" He says, leaning forward a little.
4:27 PM S<•Soulless> "...Then.. she gave someone a wrong name."
4:28 PM D<Don1Charles> "That is entirely suspicious." He says, looking down to his notes. "Similarly suspicious to her leaving out multiple crucial details to her report." One hand moves to slide out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolding it and placing it on the table alongside his notes for Ainsley, Carson and Rolf. Comparing.
4:28 PM S<•Soulless> "But... that is the... excuse me?"
4:29 PM He reads. He's quiet.
4:29 PM D<Don1Charles> "Ainsley... do you have a last name? Ainsley what?" He says, looking up.
4:31 PM S<•Soulless> "I.. I do not believe so."
4:31 PM "But... I think.. in the... she was..."
4:31 PM "Maybe she changed that nam.e It was somehting in the past."
4:31 PM He rubs his neck. "I am in... I am bad?"
4:32 PM "I may have... been too close? Too... I should not offer?"
4:37 PM "...You know... she was pointing her gun at me when she first told me to leave... not after."
4:38 PM "...Mm... She wanted to know more, didn't she? She kept asking, didn't she?" He seems confused, rubbing at his temples. "My memory is... maybe I have forgotten how it really happened."
4:39 PM D<Don1Charles> Charles looks, waiting for him to speak before nodding and glancing down, 'hrming'. "Changed the name... Well, Rolf, an agent who had their finger on the trigger of their gun without safety unloaded it when you tripped and bumped into her. You then... turned to leave, after she asked you, and she taunted you. Insulted you, and asked you to explain what you knew about her to her. And... you explained it. Did she during the
4:39 PM confrontation ask you to explain how the trauma-relief worked? With the incision?"
4:41 PM "I am not saying that you are in the clear, Rolf. But, I need you, at this moment, to be entirely sure of your memory."
4:41 PM S<•Soulless> "She asked a lot of questions about it."
4:41 PM "I thought she wanted to know."
4:41 PM D<Don1Charles> "They wiped your mind Rolf, trained you in perception of the small details of all situations. In making mental notes of these things to remember them. Are you confident that everything you told me is true, down to the letter?"
4:41 PM S<•Soulless> He nods.
4:41 PM D<Don1Charles> "If she asked, that is the definition of wanting to know, yes."
4:42 PM S<•Soulless> "Yes."
4:44 PM D<Don1Charles> He looks around the room, down to his notes. "Ok. This is getting bigger then I thought it was. I do not know if she understands the severity of leaving out details such as these." He then looks up to Rolf. "We will take this to someone above me. Present them with all the facts of the situation. They will help in dealing with it. She didn't reach for any other weaponry in all this, did she?"
4:44 PM S<•Soulless> "She was reaching for her knife, before she took her revolver out. I remember that one. Because I thought maybe she was taking me up on the offer."
4:44 PM redact
4:45 PM "Her knife."
4:45 PM "Before the revolver."
4:45 PM "Chose the revolver instead."
4:46 PM D<Don1Charles> He nods slowly, again. "Okay. Rolf, I will tell you what is going to happen in the meantime. You are not to engage at all with either ... 'Ainsley' or Carson. Do you understand this?"
4:46 PM DrScottJonas → •DSJ|Mobile
4:47 PM S<•Soulless> He nods, but seems confused. "Carson?"
4:49 PM D<Don1Charles> "Mhm. 'Riena' went and gave a report to him instead of coming and speaking with me about it in the first place. It seems she redacted as many details in her explanation to him as she did with us. Rolf, if an agent is to pull out a gun AT you, and act in all the aggressive ways shown here, then christ, you are not allowed to continue to engage them."
4:49 PM S<•Soulless> "...Yes Charles."
4:49 PM He's all slinked into himself.
4:52 PM D<Don1Charles> "If someone says no to you removing their trauma, then you should not continue to attempt to do it if they are acting in this type of aggressive manner. Putting the gun to your head..." He shakes his head back and forth, looking to Rolf. "What if she'd hurt you?"
4:53 PM "I think perhaps I need to bring this to someone besides Kuma."
5:00 PM S<•Soulless> "...Yes."
5:00 PM "She wouldn't hurt me."
5:00 PM "She is my team mate. If she hurt me it is for my own good. I know this."
5:01 PM D<Don1Charles> "But she might slip up. She did slip up and misfire moments before that. Rolf, not everyone on your team is doing the right things or making the right choices or hurting you for the right reasons." He says, frowning. "It sounds, to me, like what she did in this situation was wrong."
5:01 PM S<•Soulless> He frowns, but nods, obedient. "Okay."
5:05 PM "I will disengage when a teammate points weapon to me. Ask to help once, then not again."
5:08 PM D<Don1Charles>
