[Minor victories still count as victories.

Unfair as it is, Will is still trying to hold onto his mind because he wants to remember this. Whether Whale does or not is of no importance, which he recognizes and promptly decides to not focus on. He's hoped for worse things, wanted worse things, but there's this curiosity running through him about how they combine when this sort of problem isn't tearing through all of Asgard. Does Whale retain these memories and face them daily, is this something of a separate personality...?

There's also no concern given to the fact that Victor seems to find him somewhat useless at the moment. His knowledge of death runs deep, but when it comes to reanimating the dead...he can't do it. No one can, or so he thought. Victor gives him That Face and Will just lifts an eyebrow, almost expecting him to say as much.]

Call up one of the other people in Baldr. [This suggestion is hideously sick, he knows. He's dealing with Frankenstein, though. He might not be such an awful person to say this in front of (and, honestly, Will's thought of similar before; getting it out a bit without worrying about being slammed in prison later on down the road is appealing).] They've got the skills to. Grow things back. Might be able to get one strong enough that they could keep it beating while you...

[He waves a hand, halfway gesturing to the rabbit, halfway trying to verbalize it.]

...do your thing.

[The suggestion is hideously sick. And, Victor Frankenstein still has a small shred of morality lingering in his body. So, at Will's suggestion, he can't help but frown slightly, expression shifting more and more uncomfortable the longer he dwells on the thought.

He wants to end death. But doing so at the suffering of others? He's not so sure about that.]

If there was some way to do that but keep the Baldr people from feeling that much pain, I'd certainly try that option. As it is...[he frowned, obviously a little uncomfortable.] As it is, I'm not sure how safe that would be.

[Unfortunately, ending death at the suffering of others is a part of Will Graham's job. He may not like it, but that's just how it is. His own morality is a mixed bag. He'll let a family mourn the death of two children without justice to keep the "innocence" of someone he cares about intact, but he'll still grind his teeth at encouraging killers to keep going and give them more evidence to catch them with.

It's wishy-washy. One day he'll be called out on it as if he's never realized it and have no idea how to explain it, knowing how cold a, "But I didn't know or don't care about the Boyles," could sound. A teeter totter of caring too little and caring too much.

He sees a bit of himself in that frown, in the obvious discomfort his suggestion (at least it's blunter) brings. Doesn't like it, either, and slouches in the chair while running his hands over his face to show as much.]

I would. Like. ["Love" he almost said, but there's few things Will truly loves. That word is foul and rotten on his tongue, like the food he imagines himself eating in nightmares both waking and asleep.] To be more helpful, Victor, I would. But I can't. My work with the dead involves ripping open corpses to find evidence and catch the ones who killed them. I don't bring them to life like you're trying. I. Find them at the end of it. Can only try to give justice to family and friends. Don't know how to bring them back. Do know you put too much electricity in that rabbit or anything else, you might end up taking out a lot more than ours and pissing off a lot of already emotionally compromised people.
