Instead of asking Jason about "Corpse":

Instead of asking Jason about "pistol":
        say "'Good job for finding this pistol. It's likely the murder weapon. We can take the gun to the police station and hand it over to forensics. Who knows if the murderer left any other traces in this cabin?'"

        say "'Drugs? In my drawer? You sure it isn't allergy medicine?'"

Instead of asking Axel about "bloody gloves":
        say "'Okay, it looks like you caught me. I wasn't expecting to lose track of my key, but those drugs must've messed with my thought process. Honestly though, you have a perfectly good gun on you. Don't you think it would be fun to try and shoot something? Or someone?'"

Instead of giving pistol to Jason:
        say "You hand over the pistol to Jason, not wanting to hold an object used for murder any longer. Noticeably, Axel has left the room, so the two of you head out of the cabin on your own.

Instead of shooting Jason with pistol:
