There is really zero way that I can tell you not to worry about this and pretend you didn't see this, is there? I mean, I could say that, but there's no way you'd do it.
Okay, hi, Anya. I'm Officer Hitori Togusa.
Everything is actually okay! Lemme. Think of how to put this.
Well, I can answer your first question easily, everyone is actually okay. Nobody's hurt.
But, somebody. And I'm not going to name names. But they got sent only the arm off a body by Retrospec. That's why it's in the morgue. We had to make sure it wasn't from a missing person or something, and it's not! So. I have no idea where Retrospec got an arm from, but they did.
I'm sorry. But it's okay. It doesn't look like anybody got hurt for them to get it. Which really confused our medical examiner.
[THERE ARE WHITE LIES HAPPENING HERE but Togusa would rather leave something baffling than horrific for someone else. Bad enough he and James and Grell have to live with this one.]
that is true something that confuses auntie too that must be very tough
everyone is ok i think as ok as possible it is like how sometimes retrospec sends changes and people are surprised because they have a different part someone has a different arm
[There are different four-letter words Togusa wants to write here, but he will hold himself back. Somehow he gets the feeling she doesn't mean Jinying.]
Oh. Well. Geez, I'm sorry. If they went to Dr. Sutcliffe about it, too? They should be okay.
i think they are taking care of it how they want to but they are doing okay still
yes ! dr sutcliffe has always been my auntie or maybe not always but i remember her for a very long time please be kind to her she is always working hard
I'm glad to hear it, and I'll leave it at that out of respect for their privacy, then.
Dr. Sutcliffe really is. I respect her and what she can do a lot. As soon as Retrospec started causing problems, she was one of the first people to put herself out there and ask what she could to to help.
But I didn't know she had family in the city! Your mom or dad related to her?
not like that it is not blood relative ? mama and i met her when we were out when anya was little mama says that i told auntie that she was very pretty and they have been friends since since anyas mama also work at the hospital
auntie is very strong and very smart and she works so hard she makes anya want to work hard but if you are her friend please make sure she does not work too much i worry too but do not tell her because she will feel bad for making me worry but it is a worry of love

[just... out of curiosity - is it a mystery that even her auntie can't solve?]
no subject

I've got someone I definitely consider a brother, same thing.
I. Well I suppose I am her friend, although I'd have to ask her if she'd call me that.
I promise I won't tell her. But it's good that you worry.
no subject

auntie always needs more
she will call you that too in time i think
