"Will Graham here. Leave a message."

[Open for text/audio/action/whatever.]

[ He shakes his head. But he will add- ]

Spent 13 years or so in a normal prison.

[ And Japanese prison doesn't kid around. ]

Damn. I had about a year at a max security mental hospital. It was like they were trying to fit as many traumatizing things into my short stay as they could. I can't imagine thirteen of those.

...but that does explain why I had a tough time telling if you'd...been through the system here or not. Usually my hunches are right. I guess you did most of your learning before you hit this place.

One kind of learning.

[ He firmly believes every one of his inmates has helped him as much as he's helped them. ]

I've been here long enough even this old dog has learned a few new tricks.

[ He'd be chuckling if things weren't so seriously messed up- or if he weren't the cause of the problem. ]

Sounds like you take every opportunity you get to learn something...I hope to get there, myself. Eventually.

[ He takes a deep breath in and lets it out. ]

All right, I've got...some people to talk to. Apologies to make. Malcolm first, I think.

[ He nods. It's very very obvious, even over video, that whatever frustration he had before was temporary. He likes Graham-san, respects him. If there's one thing he's learned over the years, it's that friends call out friends.

He's seen what happens when you don't. ]

Let's talk afterwards. It's been a while since we did. And I'd like the chance to help you get the fuck out of here.

[ He tips his head to one side. ]

Maybe we do some fishing?

[ Will gives Kiryu a wry smile. It doesn't feel like things aren't fixable, with the way Kiryu puts them. That's unusual, but Will is going to take it. ]

Fishing sounds great. Maybe I can make up Wolf Trap Creek in the Enclosure for you, show you my favorite place for it.

Sounds good. I've never been anywhere with that name, I don't think.
