[Hei appears on the Plane and promptly collapses, flopping onto his back and breathing hard. He looks exhausted, but he's also grinning. After a moment, he catches his breath.]

I did it. It finally worked.

Luxaky...and that other guy, if either of you are around. The experiment was a success.

I can see where your concern stems from...but again, I do not think you're giving enough credit where it is due.

You say contractors will kill when threatened? Who among those you deem 'normal' will ever pose a threat?

[contract_star]

It's not always when they're threatened. All they need is a reason, just a small reason that they can justify with logic. Killing means nothing to a Contractor.

[Frowning,] Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt, because they're police officers. Mr. Tyler asks too many questions, anyway. The hyena and Cy, because talking animals might be Contractors. Mion Sonozaki, because she knows about Contractors. Fumie Hashimoto, maybe, if they reported her glasses to the wrong people. As for the rest of you, you pose a threat just by existing. The first time I came here, you read my mind. That's all the reason a Contractor needs.

[Pointed look at Mu.] I've had this conversation before, Mu. I'm not changing my mind.

[lamb_of_gold]

Then I suppose I won't try to.

[Hei smiles, a genuine smile.] I appreciate it.
