Adachi: Hm? Oh, it's you.
Good timing. Wanna hang around and talk for a while?
That way, it looks more like I'm--errr, strike that, okay?

> It seems Adachi is slacking off...
> You feel your relationship with Adachi is going to become closer soon...
> Will you spend the afternoon with Adachi?
>Spend time with Adachi

Adachi: Good for you! You're a good listener. The kind who gets promoted!

> Adachi is smiling mischievously...

Adachi: What are you doing? Shopping for dinner? I'm impressed.
I live alone, so taking care of dinner can be pretty tedious.

Souji: >"Why?"
>"You don't eat?"

Adachi: I guess a high school kid wouldn't get it. I just get so tired after work.
So I make some cup ramen or something.

> Adachi doesn't seem to lead a nutritionally balanced life...

Souji: >"No one makes you dinner?"
>"Want me to make you dinner?"

Adachi: [scratches head] Like... you'd come over to my house?
Haha, that would be interesting. But I'd prefer a girl to come over.

> Adachi is smiling softly...

Adachi: Cute girls are the best. Though I go for the real knockouts, myself.
The most important thing is that they should be good cooks. Everything else, I can take or leave...

Souji: [sweatdrop]

[elevator behind them opens and old woman from before steps out]

Old woman: ! [walks up to Adachi]
Tohru-chan! Is that you?

Adachi: ! [turns around and recoils, sweating]
Shit... She found me.

Old woman: Are you off work? I hope you're not doing anything dangerous!

Adachi: [sweats and scratches head] Oh... No, I'm still on the clock. I was just on my way back to the station.

Old woman: I'm so happy to see you working hard. I brag about you to my neighbors all the time!
I'll bring you some nimono, okay? You have to take care of yourself!
By the way, I saw this detective show on TV the other day...

> The old woman seems like she'll be talking to him for a long time...

Adachi: [sweat-scratch] Um... I need to get back...

Old woman: Oh, is it that time already? I hope your day goes well, then.

[old woman leaves, Adachi turns back to Souji]

Adachi: [scribbly-scratch] Finally...

[Souji turns to look at the old woman out the window as she walks by]

Adachi: I guess her son has the same name as me.
Maybe that's why she's been hanging around me ever since she found out. I don't know.
She always brings huge heaps of that nimono to the station!
And she'll talk your ear off if you let her... It's so annoying.

Souji: >"She cares about you."
>"That does sound annoying."

Adachi: [scratch] Doesn't it? She's like that practically every day.

> Adachi sighs...

Adachi: She's the exact opposite of my parents, so I can't relate to people like that.
She's lonely, I guess. I don't think she has any relatives.
I can't just ignore her, either. It's part of my job.
The police have been busy lately, so I'm the only one who can deal with her.

> Despite his griping, Adachi looks happy...
> You feel that you've seen a new side of Adachi...

[SOCIAL LINK RANK UP]

Adachi: [scribble emote] Though I wish I shared a name with her grandson instead! I'm still only 27, after all.

Souji: [sweatdrop]

Adachi: [rubs back of head] Well, I should head back out, or Dojima-san will really chew me out.
See you.
[walks out]

> You watched Adachi go back to work, and then went home.
