'If I can't see it then it'll go away' is such a childish train of thought. Life would be so much simpler if it worked...Maybe people are only ever true children when terrified, muses Price for a moment. As technically incorrect as it might be, it's an interesting thought. Either way he's glad to be a proper grown up.

Dan is really adamant on not addressing this memory, is he?

This tickles Price's petty side. What is it, Dan gets to be seemingly perfect and a human being? He should be forced to pick one too.

It's so irritating! Dan is rotten just like everyone else, but acts like he's so pure, and now comes up with this trick question. Asking not to speak about it like he's begging for an amount mercy that Price is supposed to feel (wrong), but also implying that Price can't be trusted with a secret even if it is his damn job. Fake, disgusting emotional blackmail. Which wouldn't be disgusting if it came from someone who did not act like they were above it. Oh, Dan will pay for this.

A smirk creeps on Price's face for a fraction of a second.

"I assume the little girl dies, correct?"

If Dan is so smart he should have not said 'again', that implies that now it's more than alright to pester and torture him about it.

"That is quite sad." the monotone doesn't make it easy to distinguish, but he's mocking him. "I understand why you do not want to see this, Daniel. Would it reassure you to know that I will gladly grant your request?"
