"You shouldn't have to know." The words come out before Togusa can stop them. The look on his face stays one of pure worry. "Why are they dragging you into this? To- give you something like that?" He breathes out a quick sigh.
"I can get you what you need. Just, call it an antique, claim it doesn't work anymore. Because, well, we'd be telling the truth about it. I can't imagine it would be fired." Not in Koutarou's hands. It's just too alien to what he knows of the man.
"Weapons laws are in place to protect people. Both the people who are unarmed, and the people who have weapons that they might not know how to use. This- it's not a danger. It's not to do with just keeping you from getting in trouble. Register it that way, and it'll all be okay." Now, is he saying that to Koutarou, or to himself?
Koutarou shakes his head. "I'm starting to wonder if they have a reason at all."
He makes sure to remember the details on what he's supposed to register it as. He probably won't remember all of the extra details but at least he can remember the important part. Mainly by imagining it in images. A small, grateful smile makes its way up on Koutarou's face as he tucks some hair behind an ear. "Thank you, Hitori." He's not sure the words are completely comforting, but that Togusa is trying matters.
