                    _{her words were true ; there was always something that would get him to actually do something. he’d tried before, got shut down more times than he could count, and then stopped trying. after-all, it was far easier to commit crimes ( such as murder ), than try to actively stop them. ‘   my records wiped,    ’ it was an attempt to get him invisible again — anything so he wouldn’t have to deal with anyone knowing more about him than absolutely necessary, ‘    as well as… any and all investigations into what i’ve done dropped.    ’ it was a  risk to even ask such a thing, but… he still didn’t feel like being in a high security prison anytime soon.}
