[ For a moment-- for an eternity--

All Dojima could do was loom over Adachi, his fist still at the side of his head, cratered into the ground, his other hand still gripping Adachi's collar tight. ]


[ ... Maybe Adachi would feel it on his cheek. A drop falling of something wet. Rain? But it was warm-- ]

Still glowing yellow eyes staring down at him. But the rage was slowly vanishing and pooling and dripping down along Dojima's cheeks--

For as much as Dojima was enraged by Adachi--

For as much as he wanted Adachi to be punished--

...He blamed himself more for not being the partner Adachi needed. ]
