[ It's only natural for someone to try to defend someone so recently deceased. It's natural for that to happen even in the events of natural deaths; Kim can't count how many funerals he's been to where people wind themselves in knots extolling the non-extant virtues of the deceased. People don't like to speak ill of the dead.
And from what he knows of the young woman who died, her crime isn't malice. It's neglect. But it's folly nonetheless. If she doesn't return, she is left in the quiet peace of death, while Shinji trembled upon his doortstep, unable to keep himself together. Kim sighs, long and slow. He's not going to get anywhere pursuing that avenue of questioning.
(Not questioning. Comfort. For god's sake, Kitsuragi, you're not a cop here.) ]
And did the others assist you in dealing with the body? Did they... [ He tries to search for words. If there were others there, then how did Shinji wind up here? Did nobody think to check on him? ] Did you leave right after it was taken care of?
