“I’d recommend trying the others again, first,” Togusa’s tone darkens. “Whatever shielding Retrospec has to keep them safe? Didn’t apply to that bunker or the path from the building. It was all the fog monsters, trapped to hell and back. I only made it through there because I had the most powerful person in the city with me.”

“I still think it’s a bad idea, and it makes you a target. I am still scared for you, but I dont think that’s going to go away.” Softer, letting some of his real fear for James soak in, before he sighs deeply.

Togusa finally points at James. “If you try this, for the love of whatever is important to you, don’t run off without preparing, have a plan to get back, and no more setting fire to things.” It’s ridiculous that he has to say that. “That really has to be where I draw the line. You really cant control how much damage a fire does. Please. No more burning shit?”
