"You've just missed Shotaro Hidari. I'm probably fighting those that make the city cry. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done."

Tip Box
The box is cardboard, mostly purple with some black bits. The top has a standup part on it that reads "Hidari Detective Agency". The message on it says: Need help? Know someone that does? See something weird you want someone to look into? Leave me a note here!

That's the best way to put it, I think.

Besides, I found out he has family, so... I don't regret helping him.

[tanteiotaku]

Still, that's a hell of chance to take for a wanted criminal.

[yokubo]

Maybe, but I don't mind. I don't think he's as bad of a person as he wants everyone to think he is.

[tanteiotaku]

You're too nice a guy to be in a place like this, Eiji.

[yokubo]

I'm not sure that doing the right thing makes someone nice, but thank you anyway, Hidari-san.

[tanteiotaku]

I guess I see too many making bad decisions in my line of work.

[yokubo]

[ Even if it wasn't the same thing, he couldn't help but be reminded of Ankh. ]

What do you do when you run into people like that?

[tanteiotaku]

The people that just run instead of staying to help, I can't say I blame them. Not everyone can deal with a cornered Deadman.

As far as the people making trouble, I do what I need to to stop them. Sometimes people can't help it, and they've lost control of themselves. Then, it's a matter of keeping them from hurting anyone until they calm down.

[yokubo]

Doing that kind of thing must be really hard.

[tanteiotaku]

Sometimes it is. That's why it takes a hard-boiled detective to make those kinds of decisions.

[yokubo]

I really hope I can help people out like you do someday, Hidari-san.
