[He frowns, looking serious.]
I'd make it quick, and hopefully boring for whoever hoped to derive some entertainment from the whole affair.

Ah, you know...
[ There's an awkward hand motion. ]
Had to deal with death first hand like that.

You mean if I've killed anyone before?

A twenty-year long police career in a bad part of town.
[He looks like he's tempted to leave it there. But he gives it a little thought...]
The last was a little over two weeks ago. When I got this.
[He points to the faded remains of a bruise on his face.]
There was a shoot-out.

I can't even imagine... It takes a pretty strong spirit to be able to keep going in that kind of job.

I mean, it happens from time to time, but we're there to capture the villains. I've had some die on my watch, but I've never... done anything like that myself.

That's good. It means you're probably one of the good guys.

Probably...
[ There's a bit of a laugh at that. ]
I sure hope so. I don't know what I'd do if it turns out I wasn't. It'd feel like my whole life was a lie.

I suppose that
is
a crucial part of being a "hero"...
[A smirk.]
I hope I'm one of the good guys, too.

[The lieutenant appears to be caught off guard by that. His eyes widen a little, and he clears his throat, as if to suppress something.]
... Oh. Well, anyway...
[... He feels a sudden need to change the subject but he doesn't actually have one in mind. He just wants to not be perceived.]

[ Kotetsu shoots him something between a smile and a grin. ]
Your work deserves to be acknowledged, you know.
