"Hey there! You've reached Tohru Adachi of the Inaba Pol - ahaha, sorry. Old habit. I'm unfortunately unavailable to take your call right now, but if you leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If it's an emergency, well... hopefully it's nothing too major. Thanks! Seeya."

I do.

[He means it from the bottom of his heart. He trusts Adachi, leans on him because he's so dependable and would leap to defend him if needed. Hell, he'd easily die for Adachi, even though death was something impermanent here.

But although he looks solemn through most of the detective's little speech, he practically lights up at the last part.]

Yes. I won't let you down, Adachi.

[Some of that normal determination creeps back into his voice, and it's plain that he's just so eager to be someone that the older man counts on. That was friendship, plan and simple - having each other's backs, forming a bond that could not be broken. He'd felt only like a burden, these past few months - only asking for Adachi's help or advice, and never giving anything in return. So if he could be of some help, no matter how small...

He gives a tired, not entirely there smile. It's still stained by his utter depair, his emptiness, but he manages to give something despite how he feels. Trying his best, over and over, to the point of tearing himself apart in order to make the people he loves feel more at ease.

He doesn't ever consider himself number one, in the end. And that's alright...isn't it?]
