"Monday, 11th of May, 3412 AU. 10:00 AM."

"It's been a few days since my last and final interview with Joker.. I don't know what to make of any of this, I've listened to the tapes several times, both from the police and myself.. Celestia was not happy, she scolded me for being so reckless, but then again she scolded the prison too for not making sure he could not hurt me.."

"My injuries are minor, but I am told if he really wanted, he could have snapped my neck, strangled me, yet he chose not to.. What he said worried me, I think he spared me because, as he said, the game will continue.. I hope for our sake that will never happen.."

"I've suggested Joker will be taken to a mental asylum, the guards have a habit of beating him and I don't think we will ever get any answers like that.. He will be sent there in a few days I am told.. I think that he.. Wants to... Die..."

"I think he seeks redemption through death, however flawed that might seem.. For now however I will not continue my research, I am no longer sure it will benefit anypony... I thought this would bring some closure, but I fear it has only opened up wounds we didn't know we had, doubts we didn't know we had... Heh... Guess he got the final laugh in the end... He has changed us, all of us.... But we need to deal with that, become stronger and be there for one another.."
