[After this misfire, how can he not pick on his little brother now?]
I hear you and Officer Gabranth are an item. Why didn't you tell me? Were you embarrassed?

Gabranth himself told me. He mentioned how much he was sure that you were interested in him, in a most romantic sort of way.
[Okay, yes, to be fair... Ardyn is stirring the pot. But it's in his nature to do so when he feels the impulse, and he can't help but twist the words he had been told around until they don't resemble the truth anymore. Just for you, little brother.
A twisted villain must truly live in this man somewhere.]
You don't have to be ashamed. I'm truly happy for you.

You're a liar and a cheat, bro! Gabranth hates me and I hate him! End of story.
[Bull! Just pure bullshit! There's no love tryst between Gabranth and him. Zip, zero, nada! They're mortal adversaries sharing a similar badge. That's all!
Ardyn can't pull a fast one over his eyes about this.]
Cut the crap, Ardyn! What's going on? Who even told you that shit?!

Are you sure you're not just protesting a little too much?
[It's his obligation to pick on you, Fynn. Just like it's your obligation to be annoying towards Ardyn; an eye for an eye.]
Which part, that you wish to be in a relationship with him? I told you. Officer Gabranth.

I'm tellimg the truth, asshole! There's nothing happening between Detective Noah Gabranth and I! Now stop fishing for gossip and act your age!
[The irony of it all is quite hilarious.]
I don't want anything to do with him and I know he would never---
[Awkward paussse~]

[Don't give Ardyn an awkward pause to work with. He'll just text increasingly more embarrassing things.]
Never what? Be attracted to you? Want to steal you away somewhere where the two of you might be alone? /More/ than that? Are you letting your imagination get the best of you, little brother?

[Ardyn is sincerely laughing on his side. An uncommon sight, and it's too bad no one is around to see the joy he's taking in this.]
I'll be sure to keep my bedroom door locked tonight.
You're blushing, aren't you?

You're protesting too much. You ARE blushing, I would bet my life on it. Good heavens, you're like a schoolgirl.
I'll sue you for assault and battery, baby brother. Don't be angry just because I'm pointing out the harsh truth.
[He knew it! If only he could see. It would make his day.]

My apologies. I'd hate to see you suffer from denial AND hypocrisy in the same day.
Return to your duties. But think about what I said.

Togusa knows he was right about the Kotano Kato case.
[The name may or may not be familiar, but looking through internal records brings up a missing person case about a year ago, a high school student. But it was classified as a runaway, and closed. The internal records don't follow up from there.]

[The Kotano Kato case? Fynn has no idea what he's looking at right now. He, of course, knows the name of his colleague well enough but what does Detective Togusa know about this case? What was he right about?
The officer has no idea.]
Who is this? What's this about the Kotano Kato case?
Hey, answer me!

How the hell did this
You know what, I need to stop being surprised at this application. I didn't send this.
But now that it's out there. Hell, what do you want to know?

[Fynn can't help but chuckle to himself once he gets this message. It seems that the mysterious Retrospec app has struck again! He's not too surprised. This damn app is causing more harm than good for most people. He's certain he'll be next on the list of victims betrayed by this damn app.]
Don't worry, I get it. Retrospec is at it again.
But what's this case even about? I don't think I ever heard of it before. Was this recent, Togusa?

[Togusa breathes out a very long sigh, because now he has to explain, but how much to put over the network.]
Not that I might have much choice in the matter, but if I explain this, you do not mention this to the upper brass.
This was about a year ago, Kato was a high school student, daughter of immigrants. She vanished, and it got designated a runaway and never really followed up on internally.
You ever run across Detective Piper? He moved to a different city at the start of this year. Could never prove it, but was always kind of an extra jerk to me and Lou and Sakakura and Kuzuryu? If you know what I'm getting at?

Don't fret, Toga! My lips are sealed.
[It takes a minute for Fynn to understand what this case is all about but he's following well enough even if he doesn't like the implication. An immirgrant girl who allegedly ran away and a seedy detective? Yeah, that doesn't sound good.]
You sayin' you think Piper had something to do with that girl?

Yup. DO NOT google it. It has some seriously fucked up content in it.

Luckily no. Nothing that insidious.
But. Piper was the person who ended up in charge of the case. I only ended up finding out about it at all because I was the first response when the parents called the cops. I had to report it up the chain and Piper took over, and he ignored my concern that maybe it wasn't just a runaway case.
Just, looking at her emails, the communication with the person she was supposed to be meeting, it didn't add up. She was still trying to be polite to someone who was claiming to be her countryman, but brushed off every single attempt to meet in person.
Piper didn't want to hear it. But, then I started trying to look into it myself, and that pissed Piper off. So he reported me, and I got reprimanded.

Thank whatever omnipotent being that exists then! I was getting really worried for a min.
So, let m get this straight. Piper didn't want you on the case at all, huh? So they actually ran off an told the top brass about it and you got in trouble?
Well damn! Piper is an asshole.
