And she's not even joking, which is sad. How hard can it be to remember a man with a flaming arm?<br/><br/>She also lets the man go because, well, at this point, nobody really wants the lunatic around.<br/><br/>"It doesn't help," she says to Noriko, "that he seems to change his name at least once a month. Do we have any smelling salts left?" In an obvious attempt at changing the subject, Brass asks Noriko how her little trip went.
