uninvestigayed: the most accurate typo

—On the other hand, by the time anyone turns to look, Leander may already have come and gone, back to the bench and window, leaving the library door not quite closed. It was enough of a snapshot. Any further commotion, within reason, will go uninvestigated unless it comes to him.

(He'll be quiet on the ride back.)

The baby's wail echoes between cramped walls, and Ilias watches Kostos's expression change the way one might a receding lifeline, the whites slipping visible in his eyes for one brief, desperate second. Because a fight would feel so much better right now; because at least that one thing, they might both understand.

But not tonight.

Unfortunately, there isn't actually much of anywhere to go now that he's down here. A screaming child; bodies huddled close and hushed in the dim light beyond. Frustration wells up, works at his jaw; if he has to walk right back up past Kostos right now—

"Don't wait up," turning the other direction instead. He'll go sleep in the rain if he has to.
