Yes. Even with his mind muddled, he knew people would react more strongly if he also tried to implicate the children. I recall it came up in our discussions that day, too.

[trying to be strategic about how much people will want to beat you up after murdering a man is funny, but it is a very claude move. trying to lie your way out of it is also a claude move, though. unfortunately.]

He can try to stay alive as much as he wants. If our suspicions are true, then we both know we can't allow it. [it's valid, but.] I don't plan to confront him with words, regardless. It would be best to simply deal with it when he least expects it, quickly and efficiently. Before he has a chance to strike again like Firefly did.
