You were that week's intended target, actually. [which he says SO VERY CHEERFULLY.] So it was a good thing that you decided to take matters into your own hands, since being killed would have been a much less intriguing way to bow out.

Either way, I'm far more excited to see the exit interview than any of this investigation rubbish. If that is the case, it's sure to boost the ratings. [the prospect seems to brighten his mood a little.]

I can't even pretend to know how that boy thinks, though. Perhaps their "rivalry" is not as, ah... strong as they made it appear? Or it may simply be his way of coping.
