...Heh.

[ Again, that rueful laugh, but it was obviously self deprecating, as he undid Hyde's leg cuffs. ]

I didn't. My nephew and his friends did.

[ Taking back the cuffs, he sat back on the ground, staring up at the sky. ]

The culprit killed two women through a means that shouldn't have been possible in my world- before starting his 'game'. He manipulated the man who I thought was my daughter's killer into doing his dirty work, with a lie that he was 'saving' the people being targeted. They managed to figure out how he did it all--

And you want to know the best part?

[ Dojima glanced over to Hyde, his eyes again showing weariness that wasn't all physical. Even after the dream-- maybe especially after-- he held onto that guilt for not putting two and two together. ]

...The murderer was my junior partner. Right under my nose, for nearly a year. Two women dead, another man dead from a copy cat crime... and I couldn't save anyone. The victims, my nephew and his friends from getting pulled into the mess, my daughter from being kidnapped and brought to the brink of death... or Adachi from himself.

[ Dojima shrugged, his eyes turning back up at the sky. ]

So. Like I told you from the start... I'm no hero.
