An interesting way of putting it, but Togusa supposes it's good at least Ardyn admits he's a prideful man. He nods in understanding. "There's a few people I ran into this month that were after something specific. Another piece of a memory that wasn't complete, or some more understanding," raises his hand to gesture at Ardyn.

"Have a colleague who is taking a gamble that there's something waiting for him." Togusa leans forwards, resting his elbows on his knees. "With many other peopl gaining extranatural abilities, and some of them having absolutely no problem breaking the law? It's almost like an arms race. But it's his sense of self that's the battleground. Rush it, and you could lose your memories of yourself." Togusa shakes his head.

You. "Maybe I wanted to make sure you weren't trying to do the same thing."

He pauses in consideration, looking carefully at Togusa's expression.

"I wouldn't act reckless or immorally, if that's what you're worried about. There are lines that I will not cross, especially when it comes to how it may be a detriment to others."

Bleeding heart, as he is. And he shall cling to it, for however long it'll last.

"...Of course, if Retrospec begins to nudge me in one uncomfortable direction, and I remain blind to it? For whatever reason. I trust you to let me know. You'd do that, wouldn't you?"

That is a strange feeling in Togusa's chest. He's known that he and Ardyn are more than just former teacher and student for a while now. But this does clench it. Maybe he didn't yet realize that Ardyn's trust had extended to such a personal level. He nods. "Yes. I mean, of course."

"I've trusted you with the same. That little nudge of moral guidance, a voice outside of just the Department to remind me that it's worth it. So. Thank you." He's more honored than he can really put into words, so he lets the silence stretch on for a few seconds.
