[Rinne hasn't mentioned it because some things are meant to be said in private. That goes for HiMERU, too. They both have reputations to uphold, and Rinne hasn't had the time to speak with HiMERU indoors like this, alone.
He hasn't found the chance to bring it up yet.]
Nah. Lark said Jay was a quiet guy. Didn't hurt nobody. The train was his life.
Sometimes his wife Robin would join him. I dunno who takes care of the kids when that happens, though. She's got a uniform, too. San-chan found it in the furnace on the day we got here, I think. No body. Lark said only Jay was supposed to be on that train, anyway. That workaholic!
We know what happened at the train a few days ago, so I wouldn't rule Robin out.
But you know, the only reason we could get Conductor-chan's body was 'cause someone stuck a keycard to that very door. It happened while we were in transit. Like they wanted us to know we were all gonna die!
[Even if Rinne never does, it's in the past now. HiMERU isn't all that fond of digging up bad memories anyway. He knows enough, and if he ever needs to know more, he'll cross that bridge when he gets to it, but... he might be okay letting it go.
So long as it doesn't happen again.]
Has anyone seen his wife? Or know where she might be?
[Yes, she's potentially a suspect, but — she's also potentially innocent.]
[The heel of Rinne's foot does not let the rest of his sole touch the glass-littered floor until the ghost of guilt catches up to him. Of course HiMERU would say that. People deserve to know when they've been abandoned—and when they haven't.]
If anyone from town's come back, I haven't seen 'em. I— Well, I wouldn't say I'd love to do it, but I can't. No one knows where they are—'cept the postman, maybe. Haven't gotten him to cough up an address, though.
He says Crow, Robin, all the others should be here soon, but it's been weeks. How long do you think a family visit should be? Two people dead on that train and no one bothered to write!

... She deserves to know, if she's been widowed.
