Detective Tapp… well… he’s very driven.
I have only been in a few trials with him… and I can say that he is certainly a good man; He does his best to make sure we live, but he tends to run into the middle of danger. And I don’t mean that as to be insulting… but there have been times where it was just better not to intervene… at least not immediately.
It’s horrible and depressing. But sometimes there’s just no way to help someone until the time is right. And Detective Tapp can be… impatient. More so than David… uhm… David King, even.
He’s very stern about everything, very on-edge. We all are of course… but he’s always got his mind elsewhere. His eyes searching for answers in the campfire… even though they’ve long since burned to nothingness in the embers.
When we’re in a trial together, his skills as a detective have come in handy, and saved our skins multiple times… but he’ll sometimes lose his edge and try to beat the killer at their own game… It’s even worse whenever we’re up against The Pig. He says he knows exactly who she is… that he’d kill her himself if he could. And he has certainly tried…
…
It didn’t end well. For any of us.
And sometimes he’ll just disappear for hours between trials… Sometimes we see him, pacing the woods, muttering about things only he shares with the fog, sometimes sulking about how things had gone during a trial.
He’s a good man. But… he seems like he’s especially attached to the world we’ve all been torn from…
It’s a constant struggle on all of us… not being home, not seeing our family’s and loved ones… but for him, it seems to be a constant looming spiral, slowly constricting him and growing tighter and tighter.
He’ll also become hyper focused and sort of shut us out, especially between trials when he goes off into the woods; it can be very intimidating.
It’s like I said, He can get reckless at the worst of times… and being a hero can have some major consequences… something he has yet to realize.
