Don't chicken out when next week comes, then!
[there's always the fear that mineo won't last until "next week", but he won't voice it.
he catches it, trying to figure out where it hurts the most, before he tugs down his collar to place it near his collarbone. jan doesn't actually know a thing about putting ice on bruises, wow.]
Thanks.

[JAN it's just to reduce swelling so that makes sense it's fine]
No problem.
[mineo will just press his own against his forearms that he probably used to block some hits. ah defensive wounds....]
You really pack a punch too, White-kun. I'd be in trouble if all criminals back home could give me a hard time...

[ . . . . . . he looks a little torn at that.]
.... it is pretty complicated....
[ . . . ]
But before that, I used to work in Field Operations with the police. I got promoted to work there after I did some good work - which was mostly apprehending criminals and stuff, so I got to work on bigger cases after that. It was pretty busy... Calls at all times of day, loads of work....
[mineo was very good at his job, which might even slightly explain how he operates here]
I didn't hate it though.

[ . . . . . he leans back against the counter and pauses, like he's trying to figure out what he wants to say.]
.... someone I admired -
When I got promoted, he said that he was proud of me. And I kinda just... ate up the praise, and didn't really question it. I thought, 'hell yeah, my successes are Fuji-senpai's successes, because he took care of me'. But that's now how the system actually works.
I found later he was jealous. So he... well, he just started racking up arrest after arrest. Some of them false. Even if the charges get dropped later, those can ruin someone's life.
[ . . . . ]
It's like - getting it wrong here.
[which might explain, even a little, while trials seem to weigh so heavily on mineo every week. isn't he no better than his senpai then? whenever they get something wrong, because he can't prove a case well enough.]
... he died for that. His killers said it was for justice, because he was the one who ruined people's lives first. So he was the villain.
[and before mineo died -
they said it was his fault for corrupting him.]

[...
as mineo tells his story, white's frown deepens—until moments after he finishes, at which point white lets out a harsh bark of laughter.]
Wow. I already thought the asshole who killed you was full of bullshit, and now I know I was fucking right. You "psychologically cornered" someone by, what, being good at your job? We're talking about a grownass adult, right? You weren't responsible for dealing with his complexes.
They're lucky I won't ever get the chance to meet them, or I'd—
[—he shuts up there, though, as he doubts mineo would want to hear him talk about murdering someone, regardless of what they'd done to him.
taking a moment to calm down, he waves a hand.]
... Sorry. Ignore me. You quit after that, then?
