Damn if it's not a confirmation of everything people have told Togusa about making Detective; good luck having time for anything else.

Togusa frowns, and he hands over the top folder. It's also the thinnest, filled with only Togusa's papers. "Not to make you feel guilty, but Izunia's going to come up a few times. Through bad luck and timing, he's gotten the brunt of it this month."

"June 27th. The most severe incident, but also the one I have the least information on. An unidentified suspect, but known to be someone on the Retrospec platform. Assaulted a man with a sword, cut the man's hands off." Lets that hang in the air for a second before he moves on.

"Detective Matsuoka and Officer Izunia both got on a week's administrative leave for discharging their weapons. I know Officer Mako Lou was also involved, but I haven't gotten to catch up to him." The notes in the folder explain the same thing, but there is nothing official in there.

"I, personally, got in trouble when I went digging for paperwork to back this up, or maybe to identify the suspect."

Gabranth pauses only when he hears that one detail, cut the man's hands off, and he pinches the bridge of his nose. And he doesn't stop pinching it even as Togusa continues on. Of course this would happen as soon as he was put out of commission, of course it would.

"What sort of trouble?" he says as he slides the mug across the counter to Togusa, and finally begins to thumb through the folder. "With the department, or with Retrospec?" At this point, it's hard to tell which is worse.

"Department," Togusa confirms. He reaches for that coffee mug and wraps both hands around it like it's a lifeline. "Because, even better. Everybody is surprised that we've had an uptick in crime. They can see that much. But when I tried to go back and look through the records, I got push-back for trying to look into a case I wasn't involved in." Again. A pattern of behavior for Togusa that extends back further than Retrospec. "I'd recommend talking to Matsuoka for more details, then."

"But I was trying to look into a different incident, one where I took the notes myself. And I go back and look? Records are changed. Any mention of Retrospec is gone." He taps another folder. "The art museum bust a few months ago? Untouched. Even though it involved Rantanem. Retrospec is covering their tracks, not ours. But a few people filed privacy violations complaints? Completely gone."
