It's so little, it feels like he's only doing the smallest amount. But it's what he can do. Can't take this burden from her, can't go slap Jim in handcuffs. Yet. But he can talk to Cleo.
"I don't think anyone has any illusions about whose fault this all is," Togusa shakes his head. "Least of all me. But I can still be sorry that this is happening to you. Nobody deserves this."
Togusa shifts in his seat, trying to settle back a little more. "You're right that it's a net gain, that we know how much Retrospec can do. How much they can change. But it's unfair that you had to pay the price to get that knowledge out. Don't feel like you have to warn everybody, if you're not comfortable with it."
Togusa rests a hand on the right side of his chest. "I was warning a few people at a time, I got- an injury," he shakes his head again, "something I know I've never gotten. But I couldn't bring myself to tell everyone at once. Just- to warn the people I thought might be most likely to have it happen to them." The people Togusa cared about the most.
