[Ah. Well. He freezes up a moment. He should have known. Obviously Cain didn't mind the murder because he was high!!! He's going to have a problem with it now!!!
Well he could lie, right? He could lie and Cain would probably believe him. Then he'd be safe and he could keep being friends with Cain.
But would that be right? Would that be fair? And even if Cain accepted it, wouldn't some part of him wonder about it? Wonder if maybe he hadn't imagined it after all? But he can't admit to it either. His nature is to dodge, avoid, divert attention, play dumb. To hide. He's a coward, unlike Cain. But he also can't bring himself to lie like he normally would. Not to Cain.
So all he can think to do is turn his gaze away and say nothing.]
