[ Once Midnight reviews the footage later, much later on in the day once he's exhausted himself twice over, the bare minimum he needs to sleep at night, he'll realize that the offense branched out from a desire to know people intensely. Sometimes on a level that others don't necessarily want to share. Selfish again. He doesn't have access to the complexities of the heart, as much as he's good at divining what might be inside. It's a little childish to want what other people might have, especially if they never intended to give it in the first place. Kaveh and Miss Closure have an understanding that only engineers share. It's all right to leave it at that. It belongs to them.

(Never envy. Envy is the enemy. Not again. Not ever again.)

He'll tell Kaveh that next they meet. Not that he imagines that Kaveh noticed anything went wrong at all... He'd just like to know what he thinks. ]

No, not at all. I think we'd both find that a rather unpleasant experience if we tried, but...

[ Midnight casts around, spots a set of switches next to the cash registers. Perfect. He begins walking around displays to reach them. ]

I'll go turn the lights out, first. Wait there, I'll be back.

[ That will leave Kaveh in relative darkness, but that's why he's going. He knows he can make it back without bruised shins, and he'd rather keep an eye on Kaveh while they're together. This city hasn't proven itself to be completely safe, after all. ]
