Well, there is one other problem. If Retrospec does lose everything, whatever tenuous stability they have, then we all forget everything and go back to square one. And then nothing gets done about them. Maybe that's closer to the real reason I'm justifying helping them out.
[Oh, Togusa just went from kind of sleepy to very awake as he sits up to answer this.]
Keep doing what you're doing. Primary info, are there any other family members in danger? Starting to get dates of specific incidents would be a help, but don't push too hard.

He says since he was five or six years old, and I think he's now sixteen.
He says it happens once or twice every couple of months, whenever his father 'doesn't get his way' at work or at home.
His mother seems to get hit more often than he does.
He said he's willing to testify, but English is his mother's second language.
His father is rather famous, so I don't know what we can do, but I promised him we will at least keep his mother safe.

Yeah, let's talk about how little I give a crap who somebody is if they're hitting a woman. Fame isn't going to protect him.
What is his mother's first language? Remind the son that we employ translators for, actually, exactly this reason. Crimes go unreported among ESL communities too often already, language is not a barrier to giving testimony. We'll make it work.

Todoroki? I know him.
Okay. Tell him to bring his mother direct to me or Officer Tenmyouji, the both of us are bi-lingual. I’ve got him here with me, so I can get him up on the situation.

Yeah. If you need to talk about it though, I'm happy to listen.
[since he currently understands the whole unrequited love thing]
I just. I might be able to handle this if we'd broken up for a real reason. Or really broken up, instead of THIS.
She looked at me, and she saw me instead of the cop. That doesn't happen with anybody else.

Tell him I'll send somebody past the house for the next few nights. Just a patrol past. However long it takes for us to get this done. Somebody will be keeping an eye out while he's gone.
Don't ask him this next bit. He has fire abilities, doesn't he? I made one too many jokes about somebody shooting fire, I seem to remember he spoke up.

Hell. That puts a time limit on us to get this done quickly, then. Correctly, but also quickly. Give a teenager the ability to take matters into his own hands, nobody's allowed to be surprised if he decides to. We get this done right, it won't even come up as a question.
Our job is to solve this situation before we, or before he, finds out if he's someone who would or not.
Good work. I mean it.
From here, your job is to get all of you out of there safely. Do what you can to alleviate his worries, keep it from being a distraction now, and we'll take care of it when we're back in the city.

Wait. Time out. Where even are you guys?
Our group is in a quite lovely fishing village. I hope I'm right and we can come back here.

There is a lot to respond to here.
Nope, I can't get past the fish with arms. That's my sticking point. Why?

It's like having a light switched off.
Having a job with such a public 'face' is hard. The moment people find out they balk and think you're 'on job' 24/7.
Okay, that wasn't 100% fair because Koutarou. But you know what I mean. But you're right. Hell, even Ardyn falls into it.
I can know it was real. Right? It's okay to remember it, even if Retrospec wiped it out.

[yes, Togusa, don't forget about your bff]
Yes, It was real. It will always be real. So remember it all you want.
[he wants to say 'Retrospec can't take your memory of it,' but they both know that's probably not true]
[Togusa is very not okay for a few moments, gripping at his own arm tightly to keep from crying. He'd been burying all of it down, trying to just keep pushing on with work to not think about her and what she meant to him. It's one-sided now, obsessive, inappropriate, he cannot continue on this path. But just because it's over doesn't mean that it meant nothing. Tatsuo's words are a comfort that Togusa hadn't let anyone give to him.]
Tatsuo. Thank you.
And here, I was supposed to be taking care of you, hunh?
Tatsuo. Thank you.
And here, I was supposed to be taking care of you, hunh?
[and this is why Tatsuo is a hugglepuff... i mean hufflepuff]
I'm fine, Hitori. It's weird, but I'm fine.
[mostly because he's trying reallllly hard not to think about it too
much lolololol because if he does, then he'll start getting a bit freaked
out over the fact he's basically been implanted with someone else's
feelings good practice for next month lmao]
IDK if you're getting any news updates out there, but... Yes, the chief is missing. No, you do not need to come back. I'm going to look into it with Baudin and whomever else I can scrounge up. Whatever you're doing out there, focus on that.
Oh, believe me, we are not physically able to come back, we already tried.
Define 'missing.' The news report didn't.
And, are you sure? I've got Officers Tenmyouji and Hoboken with me. We could try to hurry our asses back if you need the backup.
