This much she gets on CD 5. CD 6 is special, because you do get more specific information from the Symphony. She would know what the truth is that he lied about -- even if she doesn't know precisely what it is he said that was a lie!

Narratively, here is what such an experience would be like. Brad lies in French. Susie listens. She doesn't speak French, but she resonates the statement, listening for the distinct feel of Symphonic truth.

She hears the ugly tone of deliberate deception, and realizes the motivation (he didn't want to get into trouble) that ties it inescapably to what Brad knows -- the real truth. Like counterpoint against his melody, she sees him taking a handful from the petty cash himself, watches his mind try to wrap it in lies in the slippery way of untruth and the cottony vagueness of human tongues she doesn't know. What she doesn't know is whether he has just said he didn't know who took it, or blamed a delivery boy, or suggested that Susie did.
