[This whole thing's sticking them all between a rock and a hard place, and even if he won't necessarily kill to get his item back he'd really, really like to keep it and obtain it. There's a reason he's thinking of sneaky ways around the AI but it's had little success.]

Anybody who claims to be unaffected's just bullshitting us. People can be really good at hiding it though. That's our real problem. [He gestures to his place at the table.] Why do you think I'm sitting here asking people what belongs to them? Someone with more stakes in their items than just sentimental value are going to be higher up on the suspects list. It's the only way we can stay ahead.

It's a start, but most are probably going to tell you the same thing I told you - that their item isn't worth killing over.

[ Machias pauses for a moment hand raised up in a contemplative look, his attention drawn back to the display cases. At least it appears to be that way, but that frown of his could mean several things. ]

One thing to keep in mind is that some of these may not be as "sentimental" as we're led to believe. But even if it is true, there's no saying that alone can't be enough of a motivation for some.

You can say one thing and do another. For all we know somebody's gonna downplay how important their item really is. [Kinda like what he's doing. He's watching all of Machias's movements, carefully thinking it over.]

What would you think of somebody if, say, their item was something all-powerful and life-altering? Would you think they're more suspicious?
