HDB- Cutting Cargo Belt

	KIM KITSURAGI - "Hmh... The steel-reinforced belt presents a *unique* challenge. I brought chain-cutters, but I don't see a good angle of approach to the belt."

RHETORIC - He doesn't actually think the challenge is *unique*. He thinks it's frustrating, annoying and harder than he thought.
...

	YOU - "1. External examination -- now that we have the chaincutters, let's cut the belt."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Mhm." He shows you the point on the man's neck where belt cuts into the flesh. "Cut with as much *precision* as you can, please."

YOU - Look for a good spot to cut.

THE HANGED MAN - The belt is equally tight around the whole circumference of his neck, swelling over the edges like white bread, rising from the yeast.

VISUAL CALCULUS - Would it be a good idea to cut the knot, instead of the belt? Seems the more *conservative* approach...

INTERFACING - The knot is the weak spot. The chaincutters fit in there. Steady now, like a flower arranger -- two cuts and it should come loose.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - After some deliberation you sink the cutters into the knot tying the belt together. You squeeze the rubber handles together, sweat forming on your brow...

YOU - Press down...

THE HANGED MAN - *Snap!* The knot is slashed. Another cut and the belt falls apart like a flower bouquet, revealing the dead man's neck -- and the dark red ligature mark around it.
