... Do you have business with me? I will tell you what I have told others, from those in my team to those outside of it: speak plainly.
[ sorry claude, but dialing back now is going to look insincere. ]
What people think of me is of no concern to me. So, I have no interest in false pleasantries. I am not impressed by mind games.
(Speaking plainly is... difficult for Claude and he's quiet for a while, as if trying to figure out exactly how to do that,)
... I came here to ask if you knew anything about how to bring back those who have been removed. You're the first source I've heard about this and I was hoping you would have learned more.
(That's the truth, at least.)
But if there's nothing more to be gained there, then there's my second reason for coming here. I want to try to find out who killed Raven. Not for revenge-- that isn't my style. But to understand why.
I know you leaders go to sleep like the rest of us. And I don't really expect you to know much... but if he was on your team, I'm hoping maybe you noticed something after he changed. I know you leaders can keep an eye on us.
... Then you will be disappointed. I don't know who took his life, I didn't notice anything, and if there was anything unusual about Raven's change, beyond him losing more of his memories, I did not sense it.
... Yeah, you got that right. (It is disappointing to get nothing but he'd kind of expected it.) I'm not surprised, though. I know you guys are also missing a lot of answers to your own questions.

You know little of me or what I have done. You said you heard this from someone else on my team, did you not? I think that speaks for itself.

(He's been pushing his luck for awhile so it's probably best to... dial it back a bit!!)
Did you ever talk to Raven? Or Schwann?
