Protection detail... yeah, let's go with that. While Tatsuo has no issue telling Majima and Kiryu that this guy in Ryuuzaki's memories is definitely 100% without a doubt a yakuza, he's not quite ready to divulge that particular detail to Togusa for some reason.
"Maybe. I'm still missing a lot of context for that night, as well as the chunk between Ryuuzaki getting shot and him staggering out of the burning building. But yeah. He jumped up, shoved the other guy behind him, and just... made himself a bigger target I think."
Togusa frowns sharply. "This is confusing just to listen to, I bet it's got to be confusing for you, too. Do you want the missing context? If you're trying to get it to trigger, we still haven't found a foolproof way, but we can try..." Togusa is on the side of trying to hang on to himself as much as possible, to deny the memories that are encroaching in. But he can respect that a few other people are not.
"No. No, I tried triggering something once and I got way more than I bargained for, so I'm not doing that again." Tatsuo lets out a slightly bitter laugh. "So while I am curious about the context, I'm not inclined to go looking for it."
