Mm. I get that a lot.

[ He was weird to still keep trying to reach out to Adachi even after the horrible things he'd done. He was weird to not want to move up the ranks in terms of Authority at the precinct, preferring to be a plain clothed detective on the beat. He was weird to be a single father raising a little girl in a town stuck in the past. He was weird for not instantly writing off Kanji as just a delinquent with no future, even if he wasn't able to reach out to the kid the way he wish he could have. Even Na--Kimishima thought he was an odd one. ]

[ But he couldn't be any other way. The head pats are... awkward, but Dojima doesn't flinch away. Is Kazuma going to be this tall when he comes back out? ]

...I appreciate it, Hyde. And... I am happy. It's because of her that I'm here.

[ Glancing up at the night sky, Dojima couldn't help a small, warm smile, before he glanced back at Hyde. ]

You... have a good night. I'll see you around.

[ Hopefully, this time... he could really help Hyde, Kazuma out before things went too far. ]
