why do you think he got caught in the first place?because he's goddamn nuts that's why.i never denied this thing about riccardo.

the greates witchhunter that ever lived aka bordry:
"We asked him to apologise to the agency and the staff, which he did along with his team director. We told him that, because of his behaviour, we were now going to test him after each stage. He put a target on himself."
