Well, if someone does show up dead, I hope you'll do your best to solve the mystery.

Of course I will.

. . . if I'm not strong enough to prevent someone from dying, then the least I can do is catch the person responsible and bring them to justice.

Atta boy.

Though if things escalate, and this goes on for long enough... I wonder if we'll still be able to talk about things like "justice" then.
