Togusa isn't going to be the first one to let go. He can feel that this is something Cleo needs so badly, but hasn't been able to let herself have from the people around her. And Togusa has to do the same. He can't just stay distant and be her boss, here, he has to let himself be her friend.

"What you do right now is you get some rest. You're going to have to face them, and own up to it, and apologize to them. Even if they aren't immediately ready to forgive you. But I suspect they will be."

He shifts a little so he can see her, but isn't letting go. "But the big part of any apology is changing something so that it doesn't happen again. You're going to have to talk to somebody. Doesn't have to be me, doesn't even actually have to be one of the people at the Department. That would be how I would solve this. But I'm not you." A little smile.

"But you can't run away." Togusa thinks she knows that, even if she tried her best to just drop out of everything.
