It is. Though some still may believe him to be responsible for a crime last week. I don't know whether he was, but I'm in no position to judge.

[ he shrugs. ]

I don't know either way. I could've checked him, but what good would that have done in the long run, really.

Checked him?

[ he lifts up his key ]

How much it would prove, I don't know. But potentially I could've.

Ah.

[her mouth twists a little.]

It probably won't do much good, no. But I wonder if that was the motive behind his death.

... Yes, someone might've decided he killed Zuko last week and gone on with a bit of vigilante justice.

It doesn't rule out a shadow, either. If someone who suspected him was chosen by a shadow, they might have gone for him on that logic.

If anything, it might make it worse. Shadows run on a much baser instinct, from what I can tell?

They're us, but they don't hesitate to follow murderous whims...

Yeah, that'd do it. Us, but without the filter on that judges whether murder's the right course of action.
