[ there's an emotional sense of irritation. temenos hates this, specifically. sitting and waiting, not being allowed to break in and just get to the crime scene to investigate, to understand. he hates the idea that things could be removed, that the entire thing could be cleaned, and there's no way to use his own senses to see otherwise. frustrating. ]
