I heard a crash, in the apartment, and felt-- anger, when I approached. Deep and-- not even, but fluctuating. Then nothing but an almost numbed sense of calm.
He had been attempting to write a letter to Chang Geng, then crushed the cup he was drinking from. I asked what happened, and while he did not feel angry again, there was something strange there. Sharp. He told me he had begun to write, and then asked himself... "Why bother, when you did the right thing? Why waste my time?"
I felt regret from him, after, but there was still that unnerving calm.
I did consider it, when I believed that may be the only way to deal with him and remove a threat, but-- Vax insisted upon avoiding it, and then the residents seemed to believe there may be alternate options as well. I certainly would not have done so without more certainty than I had at the time, either.
Well, we will not. We discussed it over the weekend, and further when he began to act strangely and seemed to prove our suspicions, but-- it ultimately appeared a better course of action to leave him be and seek other intervention. That was why I used my form, seeking someone such as yourself.
If no one targeted him after his behavior began, I doubt they shall now that it has ended.
I do not see why he would think he had aught to fear from me in particular. What, do you believe I should simply go tell someone that yes, I thought about killing you once, but that seemed to be a poor idea so do not worry yourself over it?
... Like I said, it's up to you—and I could be wrong. Perhaps he'd rather never hear anything about it again, especially if the two of you don't normally talk.
But I think that for many, uncertainty is harsher than the truth.

Do you believe we ought to try to do something about him that night?
[he can't frog someone again.]

But 9S's killer at least suggested that he didn't feel anything outright murderous last week.

...and thus, the frog.

... He's been cured now, but he's still afraid that people will go after him, since no one else can be certain.

Did you never consider telling him of your suspicions, after he'd been cured?
no subject
I know others who speak to him, and who believed he seemed to have been cured sufficiently. That was enough.

I suppose I could at least inform him the frog incident was not ill-intentioned.
