[ Alas, Rau can't heckle Gil for thinking that he'd have a breakdown if Gil isn't giving any sign of worry. Mendel gets Rau excited and dramatic at best and angry at worst... as long as no one is ripping a mask off his face, anyway. The colony epitomizes a lot of what he hates, but it's not a place of personal terror.
And so, breezily not-having-a-panic-attack and with with zero deference as a guest, he brushes past Gil and into the washroom. (Rau makes a tiny, practiced gesture as he walks past the mirror -- Gil may have seen him do it years earlier, before Rau could get away with wearing a mask all the time -- of brushing his hair out of his eyes so that his hand blocks his reflection from his peripheral vision.) ]
There's no one to ask for, here.
[ Better to ask for Rey anywhere else, and as to the rest -- ]
Not unless there's a way to kill the dead again.
[ Delivered perfectly breezily, while performing the utterly mundane task of starting the water running. ]
