Turns out that was a curse, which had not worn off by the time all of that was happening... which essentially turned into me turning one of the warehouses into an escape room that they had to solve to find evidence about where to find Ponta's body?
Really? Come on, Will. It's...it was for the best, in the end. You made sure your team hit the quota. You were cursed. And, apparently you've been dealing with fits of rage this whole time.
Someone was going to have to die--at least you made it count for the greater good.
...and you handled the whole rage thing way better than I did.
...well, yeah, but I was supposed to - make it quick and painless for him. [he's a dang doctor, he knows exactly how to kill efficiently.
but ponta's murder had been anything but efficient.] And the whole puzzles, escape room thing was some serious serial killer nonsense. Like, you-hear-it-on-a-podcast-and-wonder-what's-wrong-with-people kind of nonsense.
[he is not going to stop beating himself up for this anytime soon.
...but his expression grows concerned when danny continues.]
Dunno if I'd say that, exactly, but... [...] ...how are you doing now? With... everything.
[ there's more he could say--and the thought of it stirs up all the guilt and exhaustion and resignation that comes with those thoughts, but he doesn't add on. ]

It was really messed up, Danny.

You mean you set up an entire room full of puzzles just to make them find his body?
That is...a lot more thought than I'd be able to put into something if I were on a rage bender.

Just. Gods. After I'd spent the last, like, seven weeks complaining about why can't we just stop murdering, too.
