[ Adachi nodded absently, guessing what Archie was going to ask. Though he hesitated a moment after that, giving him a look, like he wasn't sure he wanted to share this story, but... well, he was getting a dog from the guy. ]

It was... awhile ago, when I was still working with the Heropa police department. I worked with a woman named Riza Hawkeye, and... well, she made my work days pretty bearable.

[ He smiled faintly. ]

We were through a lot together, especially when the Russians took over for awhile and were trying to brainwash us. And... she meant a lot to me. But, uh... the porter decided it was time for her to go back to her world.

[ He let out a sigh at that, rubbing under Riza-chan's chin. ]

I... guess she knew that she wasn't going to be around, because she left her favorite gun in my locker at the station house.
