Well, who could have guessed? It seems that we know one another.

[criminaljustice]

[.............................. WHAT?]

--you're not actually my probation officer, are you?

[I'M.]

[afailedmurder]

I... maybe?

[criminaljustice]

You're not even that much older than me!

[he thinks????]

--are you?

[afailedmurder]

I'm a "high school detective," so no, I'm not. All things considered, I'm most likely a consultant rather than an active officer. So I wouldn't have that kind of responsibility over you. Although...

[somehow now is the moment he has decided to perhaps stop saying things that piss Boss off]

Ah. Never mind.

[criminaljustice]

[it's okay, he's a little distracted by the surreality that is watching himself saying and doing things he absolutely does not remember saying or doing. YOU GOT LUCKY THIS TIME.]

... right. That--that makes sense.

[afailedmurder]

[cool, he'll just assume he's the one who arrested you quietly]

It didn't feel like that sort of dynamic, either...

[criminaljustice]

... what sort of dynamic did it feel like?

[i mean, look. "hi, honey, i'm home" can literally be such a range for him???]

[afailedmurder]

I think I was waiting for you. I was excited to tell you about coming to your school...

So I guess we must have been friends?

[criminaljustice]

Friends...

[looks a little lost because he's trying his best to see if that fits but nope, all he remembers are the past four days and the recovered memory.

and of course that immediately moves over into a kind of frustration that has him pulling out his phone to check how many points he has--more than enough, right?]

[afailedmurder]

...Sorry. I was oddly preoccupied with that interview on TV, so it's difficult to tell what I was feeling at that time.

[criminaljustice]

No, it's fine.

... I have enough points to do two broadcasts.

[just. not sure. i mean. should he?]

[afailedmurder]

I'd be interested to see, of course, but you should probably leave yourself some points in case you need to buy something.

[criminaljustice]

... right. No, that's right.

[but ugh. restraint is the worst. but no, gotta keep in mind the other things in this place that need getting done.]

So just one, then. Probably equal chances of hit or miss.
