It was a misunderstanding. Everything is perfectly fine.
-Begins to hurry towards the door-
Excuse me, I have work to do.

-Oh geez, oh geez, oh geez, oh geez, oh geez...-
"..."
-Just keep your head down... Just keep your head down and eventually the humiliation will pass...-
-They'll forget all about your embarrassing email...-
-They'll leave you alone if you just stay quiet...-
-...Koata, he's gone back to the 'if I keep my head down and stay quiet they'll stop picking on me' mode from junior high school.-
-He hears Koata and kind of pulls him gently to the side, back faced away from the others (similar to what Shotaro is doing with Dirk and Park). He then whispers:-
"...I-I screwed up big time..."
-Yep, you can hear it in his voice, too.-

You can change it when we get back I promise!
LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Right. We'll have a look.
The cylinders don't mean anything to you, do they? It's not some local legend or folk tale? Or something else. I don't know, but it's obviously significant.

"...B-But then I'll have to alert everyone else to the new email, and I still made a fool of myself...!"
-This poor guy was just not equipped to handle being made fun of on the job about his email.-
It very likely. And, from my experience, once I become involved in a case, things escalate. This killer won't go to ground, they'll want to strike again, and they won't wait long.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?[—I'll send you the emails. I'm getting them too.~~]

-...R-Really? Koata'll help him with that...?-
"...Y-You will...?"
-he nods-
I will!
LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Receptionist's Office
(while Bakugo stays just outside of the office, out of sight and eavesdropping like a suspicious motherfucker, Shadow trots into the office to find Midoriya with the receptionist)
(Midoriya's writing in his notepad while muttering "Room 104..." when he looks up at Shadow)
(hearing something about the possibility that Katrakis might be the Weaver's next target, Midoriya's eyes widen)
(his first instinct is to look around the office for windows, and if there are any, close the blinds on them)
(sure, the Weaver killed his targets via close range means, but you could never be too sure, right?)
Sorry Mister Katrakis... guess that means you're going to have to be put under protection.
"Shake the dust." - Anis MojganiCoroner's Office (Aichi)
-R-Right... Right...-
-Koata's your friend. You're not alone like you were before you met him...-
-He'll help you straighten this out... Your embarrassing email address will be dealt with, and will be a thing of the past...-
"...T-Thank you, Koata..."
-He's trying to snap out of it, Koata.-

Police Station
(Waves.) Bye, Mr. Spector, see you at dinner tonight!
Y'all FBI fellers be safe, okay?
(As Marc walks in, he can see that garish, knick-knack-lined desk up front, and hear talking from a room down the hall. That dork seems to be headed right that way with her tray of sweet tea.)
Hm... Not that I know of? Mostly just makes me think of, uh... Sorry if this is banal, but you've seen Shrek, right? Just makes me think of that.
(Slowly shakes his head, looking somber.)
Kids and their damn movies, glorifying all kinds of awful stuff...
Coroner's Office
…?! O-oh no, hey, don't be sad please!
(Cher looks Super Hecka Concerned for this poor little dear.)
(As does Mark, in his own way.)
Now look what you've done, Cher, you've gone and bullied this poor young man... Shame on you.
Ohhh geez, I didn't mean it that way, Mr. Sendou... It's just— I don't think it's dumb, just kinda, uh...? Fanciful? Youthful? But see— I like that! And I like you, and I don't wanna make you sad, 'cuz, see, I was sad before you came... but y'know what? You've made me feel a lot better.
(Gives him a sweet smile, gently patting his shoulder.)
And I think that's why I got the giggles, ehe... sorry about that. I just feel so much less antsy, y'know? Like I'm with a good friend.
You're a very good agent, Mr. Sendou. You've conducted yourself wonderfully, and you should feel proud of that.
(Small smile.)
...Ohhh, ehehe! If it makes you feel better, my personal email is— eheh! explodingportapotty@hotmail.com. You don't wanna know the story behind that...
(Looks nervously to Aichi and the others, then back to Dirk.)
Heavens... We need to act with both care and timeliness, in that regard.
Receptionist's Office
(Looks to Shadow, then to Midoriya.)
...Mmh. A threat has been issued? Regardless, will comply. Who wishes to accompany and watch?
(Is taking this in stride, it seems, though he looks very vaguely troubled to hear that his old Greek ass may be in someone's crosshairs.)
(No windows in here, this office is pretty well at the center of the building.)
Hackin' 'n Crackin'
(With just a little effort... The device unlocks!)
(And now Kintobor can GET A LOAD OF a very fascinating homescreen◊, dotted with apps. Since it's an iPod Touch and not its more phone-y cousin, the poor thing isn't getting any cell service, nor is it connected to the hotel's complimentary WiFi.)
Hospital
Ohhhh yes! Imagine subduing that bull-moose of a man... I couldn't! I'm a brittle little thing.
(Pulls out ANOTHER FILE.)
Another victim, Ms. Price, her death was very typical of the injuries she received. She was barely hanging on when she arrived, lungs all filled with blood from three gunshot wounds to the thorax... Tragic, but little unusual about it.
Lovely and Professional Medics
...Oh— um... Okay. But sir, it was you who almost, uh...?
'Course it's him, just look at him! He's a soyboy...
...Oh hey, yeah! Even if we don't need to save anyone, eheh... Figured I'd ask, if y'all are with the FBI... are there any openings...?
(Smile and eyebrow-waggle.)
Yeah, I wanna apply, too! This job sucks ass... That, and well—... Not gonna brag but... Let's just say ya boi knows a thing or two about hacking. Kyeheheheh...

I'll agree to half of what you just said. Now... consensus on what to do about Glasman while we're here?

-OK, OK... calming down... calming down...-
-...-
-...Oh geez, that was really immature of him...-
"N-No... I-I just..."
-...Uh... got carried away...?-
-He ended up having flashbacks to his early years... the bullying and all. It hasn't been quite that bad in years, but for him to have something that resembled an insult directed towards him on the job on his first day just sort of hit him hard.-
"I-I'm really sorry about that..."
-Now he's embarrassed about that instead.-
-...And he's a good agent? Despite that whole mess?!-
-He's uncertain of how that could even remotely be the case, but...-
"...I-I'm glad to help..."
-He manages to give a small, but sincere, smile.-
-...OK, wow, that email is quite... uh...-
"I-I see..."
-Sheepish smile is a go!-
-Everyone learned one thing from Aichi during this little adventure to the coroner's office...-
-...HE IS NOT MEANT FOR THIS CAREER. WHAT IS HE DOING HERE.-

-Folds his arms-
Hm. Well, I'm not sure what that means, but like I said, it has to be something. I'll have to ask my colleagues about it.
Wow um... That's quite a email...!
-quite a smile koata has right now-
But—I'm glad we could um, I'm happy we're approachable?

(Despite the relative safety of the area, Gesicht keeps an eye out for anything suspicious.)
Hey, c'mon! Just call the Cop Lady and ask for more! You guys have bottomless pockets, don't ya??
We keep him on watch, either way. If it was him, he's doing a good job of hiding it. If Norm wasn't the intended target, perhaps the killer is feeling remorse.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Shadow sends out a text-
Securing Katrakis. His office is windowless, so the only way in is through me. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
"...This looks like my niece's phone...now, let's see..."
-Starts looking for Internet history, any suspicious apps, notes written down, etc.-
"... oh dear... {he barely even HAS a neck.} Evidently, the Waver must be in very well physical shape..."
And then there was silence
