Yes. Kay was accused of the murder of a defense attorney named Jill Crane who had confronted the P.I.C. about their illegal auctioning of evidence. With her memory missing, she had no way of knowing what was true until we began further investigations.
...before that, I had been accused of murdering a defense attorney named Robert Hammond. I had been framed. [there's another pause, and he only continues because he thinks it may be relevant to what she's saying.] But after we cleared my name of that trial, I asked for the court to try me for the murder of my father.
[ greed won't give her his name but he will give her "i thought i killed my father", and that's a lot? that's so much? she is just staring ]
Oh. Um. Why did you...
[ she's not sure how to finish that. ask for that? think you did it? so instead she releases maus to greed because now he is the one in need of therapy dog ]
...my memories of that time had been hazy for fifteen years. The statute of limitations had nearly run out. That's the time in which a crime can be tried. If we didn't solve it that day, the case would be closed forever.
It was necessary to solve my father's case, even if at the time I believed I would be found guilty.
Yes. I...the attorney who was defending me during that trial found contradictions in my memories and statements that led him to unraveling the truth. I suppose he never believed I could possibly be guilty in the first place.
Even if the consequence was convicting the prosecutor of that case.
...he's foolish. [it does not sound believable in the slightest though.] But in a way, yes, it was a good thing he did. And I repaid him by leaving the country for a year.
[there's a wry sort of grin, and his expression flickers to something a little unsettled then before it evens out. that aside...]
The right choice and the necessary choice will often be separate. But the necessary choice can turn into the right one even if the right one isn't what's necessary.
[ grace benevolently does not point out that he clearly likes whoever that is even if he's trying to be professional and refuses to admit he has friends, nerd, but she does smile a little. the rest of it... ]
... I guess that makes sense. [ in a mildly convoluted sort of way, but she gets why he was sharing. even though she doesn't quite think it applies, but that would require talking about the full of it. ] Thanks, Greed.
[it's mildly convoluted but they are Trying, which is why they also go quite after that. they aren't entirely sure what to do with being thanked for something a little silly but they don't outright dismiss it either.]
[maus is a dumb bitch but an obedient one which means they gets up to crawl over greed's chest and immediately start showering their face with kisses.]
Ghrk! Maus, no. [they barely do anything to stop this though and maus wags his tail instead.]
He's a menace is what he is. [again, still not meaning it! but he pets maus's head and lets the dog lick his fingers instead.]
The dog I had as a child was a Pomeranian as well. Missile. [it's unnecessary information, but he did mention this to grace briefly. may as well provide the context.]
Generally. We found him abandoned by his previous owner. I was the only one with the means to take care of him, so I did. I've thought of getting another dog, but time constraints haven't allowed it lately.
[because takumi says pess exists but who tf knows when.]
Whenever you don't want to take a case now, you could just go "sorry, my dog needs me". Totally understandable. [ she pets maus, but that joke aside... ] "If ever"? Does this have to do with how you guys came to wind up here?
I could. I very much doubt that would suffice, but it could be worth a try.
[maus is busy getting pets from both grace and greed now.]
...somewhat. I'm sure you've heard by now that we're here to ensure you're indulging enough. We're here for as long as that takes. However long that is remains unknown and up to you.

So you were both falsely accused of murder at some point, and both of you weren't sure you weren't responsible?
[ since greed said he turned himself in and kay had amnesia ]
