[ he's quiet, considering. ]

Only if we have certainty. Do you suspect someone close to you has been behaving strangely?

[outsidebones]

No. They've all denied it, not that this would matter if it was a shadow. It's a perpetual worry, not one specific to this week.

Considering my last week, I understand. [ tiredly, but with annoyance at the situation. ] We can keep an eye on things throughout trial. It would be nice to say if killing someone kills the shadow, we could perhaps benefit from the idea, if we have that certainty.

I'll deny having this conversation if suspicion turns to anyone who means too much to me. Fair warning.
