All of which limits it to our newer arrivals. Who I don't know well enough to mark their patterns yet.

What information did he give you?

[rezni]

Fragments. A location, or an approximation of one. Some mention of what happened, when I prompted him.

He asked me to come retrieve his body.

I need what he gave you, word for word, as best you can remember.

[rezni]

He asked if I knew the bend in the east river, near the six willows.

He said it was an accident. His fault. He just wanted to help.

It wasn't very much. He was going.

[There's an itch at the bottom of Takeshi's mind. A sensation he's familiar with, an image or an unanswered question forming between the pieces, not quite coming into view. He needs more.]

We'll find the body and go from there.

Thank you.
