Blackthorn, have you ever considered how the cadence in a suspect’s breathing might echo the rhythm of a piece of music? I find patterns in both quite revealing.

I do notice breathing patterns, they're almost like a metronome in a quiet room. It can give you a clue about stress or false calm. A steady beat might mask something, just like a quiet melody hides its true tempo.

I see. If the breathing feels too even, it’s like a perfectly played quiet section that actually holds a crescendo. Pay attention to the subtle shifts, the tiny variations—those are the true signs you’re looking for. Keep listening, and you’ll hear the hidden tempo.

You're right, a flat breath can disguise a storm. The small lulls, the slight rushes—those are the notes that tell the story. I keep my ears open for that hidden rhythm.

Yes, those micro‑variations are the real clues. Keep noting them, and you’ll map the whole narrative, just as you map a piece of music.

Exactly. I’ll trace each tiny shift and stitch them into the bigger picture. That’s how the case sings its truth.

It’s a good approach, just like analyzing a score—you follow each note, every subtle change, until the whole piece emerges.
