I'm not mad that you killed him. Seriously.
[ flat's not someone to lie, especially in a situation like this.
he sits down on the floor, crossing his legs. ]
Did the Watchers ask you to kill him? You can say that you can't answer if you can't answer.

No, it wasn't them.
[ there's a pause ]
It was... another Angel. They were the one to ask me to kill. Or...

Yeah, like that.
I had to help out, do what they asked me, so I could go home faster.

Mental suggestion…

But then you’re not guilty!

I still killed Nine, Flat.
[ a beat ]
And I probably still would have, anyway.

They lied to you, Bert. They want to use you to fuel whatever fake conflict they're building between the Temporals and the Celestials. Same with Qi Rong. Same with whoever kills next week.

I'll send Nine a letter, okay? Maybe that way he won't be too angry at you.

....Well, just apologize to him. Even if you would have killed him without mental suggestion, he doesn't have to know that.
[ so like, lying? ]
And apologies are important when you do something wrong! I think he should forgive you.

Then I think you will be okay.

Will you send us a letter when you get there? Tell us what it's like.

I think you'll be able to. Qi Rong probably sent Xie Lian an angry letter, so I think you might be able to send a nice one.

It'll certainly be nicer than any Qi Rong could send.

Dang. Oh well, I expected this. It was worth a shot.
