[When Ray finds Justice in the lab, he has a new friend: a small robotic puppy that toddles around wagging its tail and barking! He stands up from where he's playing with it, though, to greet Ray.]
Thanks, that'd help a lot—ah, though maybe it'd be for the best if you don't ask any other participants about it. Or else they'll suspect something, and we're trying to keep it on the down-low.

Anything I'd have to do for it?
no subject
[He'll do his best!]

[Justice can't help but sound bashful. Gosh!]
I hope you're right. I'm going to do my best no matter what happens.
no subject
... By the way, where'd the dog come from?
no subject
[Justice looks down at the dog, too, pausing.]
Newt built it for me.

ray is going to do what he has a lifetime's worth of practice in, aka just go along with it no matter his own feelings on newt...]
... I'm sure he cared a lot about you.
no subject
[It feels like he should hate Newt. The man was lying to everyone, doing horrible things.]
When I asked him why, he said...he wants me to win. He said it was the truth.
no subject
... And besides, people are pretty complicated that way.
no subject
[Justice sighs.]
There's still so much I need to learn about people.
