You know, I did happen to pull Polly over to this side a little while ago to discuss that, but she ran off somewhere when I stepped out. Maybe she's handling things.
Or maybe she's just running off on important conversations, you really never fucking know.
I'm sure Polly will do what she can. But I have to insist - if you're giving away clues to my identity, which could endanger my life, then you'll help me find the identity of Shiraishi's replacement.
I can honestly tell you I have no idea who's going to replace him right now-- I'd try Polly later, if that's what you're after. I understand why you're coming to me, but I'm not the one best equipped to help you on this one.

And like I said: nobody's actually gotten any hints on you. He misunderstood what I gave him, and nobody else has gotten the same thing out of me.
