[at some point mathis returns to the church, where he is just... sitting on a pew, knees tucked up to his chest, arms folded around them. he's quiet.]

[ she's already in here lighting some candles in full and will just have a quiet seat beside him because that was a fucking awful one, my baby boy. ]

Hey there... not doing too hot, huh?

[cumulative]

...I'll... be all right.

[this isn't the first time he's been on a murder case but it IS new that it was all like this.]

Still, you got a bit close there for a moment...

You did well. Just sorry it seemed to explode all at once...

[cumulative]

It was a little stressful...

[SO MUCH OCCURRED.]

If you downplay a man's boots turning into metal snakes before our very eyes, I will give you the most ridiculous up-do while you're asleep tonight, Mathis...

I- I didn't mean to-! I just meant...

[he hesitates, eyes downcast when he speaks again.]

...I don't think that he... was trying to harm anyone, when that happened. He could have, if he tried.

[engraven]

Easy, easy... it's okay.

[ just a joke, she promises. ]

... I don't think he wanted to. But I think it'd be the same for a lot of us had we been in his shoes... I'm just sorry it put you in a kind of scary place like that.
