[Oh, no. He's definitely closing in.

But what can Marco do? If Danny already suspects who it might be, denying it will only confirm his suspicions. If he doesn't, and Marco says there was somebody else, then he'll be casting a spotlight on Rachel. There is no perfect option here. What else can he try? Is there a third option...?

...

There might be.]

F... Frankly... The fact that you're denying having spoken to him ever seems telling.

[doctorize]

Oh?

[At that, Danny tilts his head, regarding Marco with curiosity. He's kind of interested seeing that Marco has tried to divert his suspicion here rather than confirm it.]

I mean, it is true, isn't it? Have you ever seen me engage in any of his manifestos on the network, or even standing in the same space together? Let alone ever talk about or mention him myself?

[peccatore]

... No, I can't say I have. Not for certain.

[That's exactly what he's counting on for this argument, though. He just... has to put it in a way that makes sense. He steels himself -]

But that's-- that's unusual, isn't it? Aunamee has a big presence. And you say you've never interacted with him?
