So there was something. And something big, that the government was hiding. Eiji chewed his bottom lip as he looked past the brick wall in thought. If it was that big that Eiji would choke on it, how many others who knew the truth would also choke? Would that kind of news really benefit the people? Not since with the current structure there was any way for people to change it. Rising up against governmental oppression was all well and good, but there was never a revolution won without violence and that was what he wanted to avoid.

Maybe he could ask Saitoh-san about it. And be redirected as usual. Geeze. He knew the cop was, in his own way, trying to save both their asses but this kind of hiding didn't sit well with Eiji. He wanted to know what was really going on. He wanted others to know what was really going on. But he didn't want himself or them to actually get murdered for it.

"I'll keep my eyes open, Sano-san," he said. Though that didn't mean he wasn't going to print anything. He just wasn't going to be stupid about it. There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity, as someone had told him once. Remember to stay on the right side. Who had said that anyway? Not his own Dad. It couldn't have been. Well it didn't matter. He was spacing out again.

"Sorry for getting so serious," he said to the man. "You seem like a pretty decent guy, you know?" If a really mysterious one.
