Five Nights was very despondent, and Deep Waters' laughter only made him all the more unhappy. He could also sense that the other party in this negotiation was not particularly sincere, which meant that they were not troubled whether they collaborated or not. The deal would go through if the conditions were favorable, but they would simply walk away from any commitment if they were disadvantageous, completely lacking in the intent of actively hashing things out together as a show of goodwill. This sort of partner was best avoided when normally encountered, but when the proverbial pie in question was the efficient monster grinding routines, these two men were the only ones able to do this business to the best of his knowledge, so giving up on them would be equivalent to giving up on the entire deal itself.
