[ Adachi made a face; granted, he had noticed Yusuke was a bit on edge long before the whole torture thing happened. Hell, probably before he had even been outed as a murderer. The boy was sensitive as hell, and... well, considering how irritated Akira was at the mention of him, it sounded like he deserved whatever verbal bitch slap he got. ]

He was being pissy about Akechi-kun at me earlier. Maybe I'm a little biased, also being a murderer trying to figure out what living normal is supposed to be like, but I'm kinda wishing he had shown up before Kitagawa right about now.

[ Because there was no doubt in his mind that he would have offered him the same thing: to help with the Constellation. Maybe not as quickly as he did with Yusuke, but definitely after sitting down and talking with him. ]

If Akechi-kun has even half of the talent of the detective prince I know, then he's way too important to leave out of anything involving this. And he's trying. I can see that every time I meet up with him.

[ Adachi let out a breath. ]

Umm... Niijima-san is part of your group, right? Call her instead then. We may as well have a meeting and get everyone up to speed together.
