...yeah, you definitely need to.
[ There is a lot to unpack there, and he's not sure he should even touch it with a ten-foot pole. ]
Let me know how it goes? Because if he can't listen to your concerns, that's...well. A worse sign than being MIA, really.

Yeah, I will. Might be a minute before I can.
No problem.
If you think it can wait, we can just talk about it the next time Zeke and Lucy play.

Heh.
She's not altered, you know. I don't know if Zeke is, but we might have puppies on our hands if we're not careful.

[ A pause. ]
...shit, I didn't even think about that. I don't even know if anybody on board knows how to do that.

Well, don't look at me, I don't work in the vet clinic.
Yeah, I...better go have a talk with them.
[ More silence. ]
You should too probably.
[ More silence. ]
You should too probably.
Probably. All right - I think B's the vet here. And then Lark. Who is...puppy-like in his own way.
No, I'm going to go talk to Lark. And if he won't, I'll sign up Lark to be neutered next.
[ Zack stifles a laugh. Barely. ]
Okay, well, if it gets to that point, let me know so I can watch.
[ In a fight between Trevor and Lark, Zack’s money is on Trevor. ]

All right. Talked with Lark. We cleared the air.

That's great! I'm glad to hear it.
Did he explain what's been wrong with him?
Did he explain what's been wrong with him?
Not in so many words. Mostly he confessed to fucking up with me and not being there. I don't know what happened to him to make him like this. Maybe he was always like this.
But we figured out what brings us both out of it and that's good for right now.

[ ...well, that's less good, but Zack decides to chew on that one on his own for a while. ]
Hmm...well, I'm glad you guys worked some things out. Hopefully, Lark's on the upswing too so this won't happen again.
If it does, though, I don't think anybody would hold it against you if you kicked his ass.

I wouldn't do it for my sake, but we're a little better off than where we started.
Hi, Zack, you used to work in Zero, right?
What do you know about that cell at the end of the hall? The one with the curtains and the padlock?
[ This is such a weird line of questioning... ]
Just that it’s been there since before I took a job there.
I took a peek behind the curtains once, but there’s nothing interesting in there.

"Nothing interesting" can be a ruse... you didn't go in? You don't have the key?
No, I did go in. Because I wasn’t sure what it was for.
It looks like all the other cells only with some more furnishings.
