aujima tieeeem
[Dojima's breath is still catching up to him as he listens to the 'dying' words of that Ameno-whatsitsface. The voice is deep, and distorted, but somehow the words still ring clear. It's almost amazing, too, to see how determined his nephew and his friends are to keep justice and peace - it brings a tired smile to the man's face, despite the hardships they've all faced up to this point. The strength of heart truly is something.
It's not quite over yet, though. Eventually, after the speech, Ameno-sagiri fades away, and leaves his partner in his wake. The team looks at Dojima, Adachi, then back at each other.
"You think... it was controlling Adachi-san?"
It's hard to say if Dojima's listening; he's already walking over to where Adachi is lying on the ground, brushing past the scraps of police tape, avoiding the cracks in the cement.
"Who can say...? I believe it was at least partially his own intention as well."
Dojima stops at Adachi's feet, looking down at the other man. His partner is looking elsewhere, inhales and exhales looking almost painful to keep up. If it is painful, well, Dojima can't say he doesn't deserve it.
The team stays behind just a ways off; still within hearing range. (They're still curious teenagers, and they've been chasing Adachi in circles all this time themselves, after all.) The air is suddenly heavier, though, even if Dojima himself has seemed to lighten up. The events haven't been given much time to sink in just yet, and well, there's relief in just knowing it's over. Their killer is caught. It doesn't change the fact that it's his partner, in the end, but he's had more time to let that fact sink in. He already gave him what he had coming, and now it's time for him to pay his dues for what he's done.]
...Adachi.

no subject
But he reads it through, anyway. Some of it does go over his head, despite that it's vague to begin with, except the message to Souji. (Even though, in a way, it's written for Dojima himself.) So basically, this started somewhere, and it's not the end of the TV world, huh? Adachi always knew much more than he let on.
Dojima might not be cut out for it anymore, but if anything, he knows Souji and his friends can pull through. (Did Adachi figure that, too?) He folds the pages back up, carefully sliding them into the torn envelope. Dojima won't be writing him back, but in the back of his mind, he knows he'll probably see him again. Just to tell him how it went; that's all.
Starting up the car engine, Dojima shifts out of park. At least he's following through on a promise, for once, ironic as it is who it's for.]
