"Mm. One second." Togusa goes back to the report, looking for more details. "Between the autopsy and the footage? Doesn't look like it." Even off the network, Grell is still good at her job. ..was still good at it. "The impalement was clearly the cause of death, but whatever confrontation happened? Doesn't look like it happened there. Which is even stranger, really."
Togusa heaves a sigh. "You know, I would have bet money that Zee was going to turn out to have an extranatural ability. I didn't think Retrospec would have put anybody out in the open without being able to take care of themselves. Even people who were angry? I actually advised them not to take their anger out on Zee in case he had power on Eleanor or Dante's level."
Matt shakes his head to himself. He expected violence against Retrospec to occur eventually but not this soon and not this extreme.
"I hope we can get justice for Zee but I have concerns about how we'd go about it. Say we do apprehend the guilty party, the city acknowledges Zee's death, you have the file right there, but a jury of sleepers wrap their heads around Zee's extranatural ability? If the motive to kill him was Retrospec, will they even hear that testimony?"
"With the police reports, I've always been able to get the truth written down, and just never pinpointed when Retrospec's change takes effect. It's probably possible to do this without naming Retrospec, though, if you're concerned. Paint the guilty party as paranoid, believing that Zee is responsible for things going wrong in their life? That, the jury might hear."

"Hell of a way to get proven wrong."
