[Good, he was going to focus on the police ranting. That was so much less stressful, and Atsushi was going to pretend that display of weakness did not happen.

He may have been a bit too over-zealous with conveying the townspeople's distaste for the police. That just happened to be where his conversations with the Corwin residents tonight ended up, so that's what he was passing on. Though, in hindsight, he probably shouldn't have brought it up with a cop. A cop who was now potentially annoyed that he'd been called out when he hadn't even been part of the inept police force during the alleged incidents. But Atsushi didn't know how long he could wait to “spill” things before something bad happened, so he had gone with it.]

Yes, a thorough investigation! ...Um, you're bleeding.

[He gestures to the trickle of blood coming from the guy's nose, not considering it may be the start of the system's consequences inadvertently set off.]

I don't think they're oblivious, exactly...

[And neither was he. How was he going to phrase this without mentioning or alluding to the cult aspect too much? It couldn't hurt to at least suggest there may be shadier things going on.]

More that they... might have uh... o-other leads they're following that are... more important.

[He wonders for a second if there was going to be some sort of announcement or event; the lighting had dimmed a bit.]

You should look into it.

[That was vague enough, maybe, to satisfy avoiding the cult topic and still count as spreading information on it.]
