(The laughter is genuine.)
(You can't be the first to come looking for information in the bones of the past.)
"I won't." He struggles into the too-small shirt, which rides up his arms and shows a pale strip of beer belly. (You should change back before he realizes you look fat.) (No. Commit. You look sturdy and masculine.) (Stay focused.)
It's a good shirt. Harry commits. He flexes just to make the purple flecks on the walls jump and spin.
"The real crime would be letting this shirt go to waste."
