[There's a long, long moment where he visibly struggles with that. If Adachi is lying he's just being a bastard like usual. If he's telling the truth...
Adachi deserves to be punished, no doubt about that. But he wasn't behind the whole damn thing. Izanami's gone, and Adachi has a big part of the blame, but not all of it. There's his own guilt too, a whole boatload of it.]
I wanted to kill Namatame. Not even with the TV; I wanted to beat the shit outta him. I wanted him to hurt and die for what he'd done--what I thought he'd done. We almost did it too; if Souji-senpai hadn't stopped us...
[He shudders at the memory.] Thinking it over later, I realized how wrong it was. Made me a hypocrite. Revenge isn't justice. If he didn't deserve a second chance once he'd paid for what he'd done, why did I? I did a lot of shit back before... I probably woulda killed somebody eventually, or gotten killed myself. You heard all about it, if the other cops are anything to go by.
