((Boredom not so much but being unable to stay around Nanako I'd go with.  However, most of his issues were taken care of during the game if you did good enough.  Still, it works for a quick little round of<span class="bbc_u">Screw with your Head</span>lol.))<br/><br/><strong>Detective Ryotaro Dojima<br/>Time; June 5th, 2018.  Monday, 5 PM.<br/>Location; Outside the Mirror Dojo.<br/>Tagged;  Yu, Yukiko, anyone else.</strong><br/><br/>He had heard all of the tales regarding the shadows that had come out of every single one of his nephew's friends and what they had had to do to defeat them.  Even so, it was one thing to hear about it and an entirely different thing to see it for yourself, just as Dojima was doing now.  The words his Shadow was spouting still hurt, but if not for Yu and his friends saving his daughter's life when they had, and for Yu himself being there for both himself and Nanako all the times he couldn't do so himself, his darker half had little sway over him now.  It had still come however since it was an unresolved part of himself though, and Dojima merely stared it in the eyes and said nothing until it was done flapping its lips.  He had faced serial killers that were scarier than this thing, the very serial killer in fact that he had invited into his home no less, that being his former partner, Adachi.  "Are you finished by chance?  If so, then shut your trap and let me set you straight here.  Yeah, I used to be as you say, constantly working, trying to avoid my own daughter because she reminded me so much of her mother who had been ran down on her way to pick up our daughter from day care all that time ago.  Even so, if not for the timely arrival of my nephew, and all that he had done in the year he stayed with us during the serial murder case that came along about the same time he first arrived, we wouldn't be having this conversation now most likely.  He showed me the importance of the family I still had, and to treasure every moment I have with my daughter.  So go ahead and spout your nonsense about me being a bad father, because I know it is no longer true, and hasn't been since the events seven years ago.  You are a part of me, whether I like it or not, but that doesn't mean you're right anymore."  Having accepted what was true, or once had been anyway, Dojima knew he had won this round with his inner darkness, and he hadn't had to fight it down as he had heard everyone else had had to do so before.  Yu and Yukiko both bouth put a hand on both of Dojima's shoulders, smiling warmly at what he had faced down with such a calm head and heart despite the remarks it had made.  "So, you going to help me fight whatever's coming or what?"  He asked his shadow, wanting to make a difference FOR Nanako rather than for his own satisfaction or needing to keep busy.
