if blood don't tell you the truth
[It's strange, but every time he comes back here, he gets this nagging feeling that he's in the wrong place, like he doesn't belong in this building. He's changed into his uniform, he's easily recognizable, but he's still waiting for someone to stop him and tell him to leave. He knows it's all in his head. He belonged here first, long before the mafia, and if anyone stops him he could get it cleared up in seconds.
As usual, he's still gonna carry himself with confidence, though. He inclines his head to the people he passes, and some of them, recognizing the uniform, stop and stare, but Tachihara ignores them and keeps walking. He's back; he's home. Well, he's not. He's a triple agent now, spying on the mafia for the hunting dogs, and on the hunting dogs for the mafia, but his loyalty is with the boss. His are the orders he's going to follow. He is the one creating order. The hunting dogs were created as a farce.
Being back here really is messing with his head.
He turns another corner and spots another familiar person. He hasn't seen Jouno since they were both vampires (and there's a sentence that will never not sound strange), and he's not sure how to react. Relief that he's okay? Of course he'd be okay, it's Jouno. Maybe he should be nervous, because technically Tachihara is working against him now. But then, he was trained as a spy. He's got this. There's barely any change to his heartbeat as he approaches.]
Jouno-san!
[He bows deeper to him than he had to anyone else.]
I finally managed to get away for a couple of days

no subject
[If he sounds a little bit strained, it's because of what those fingers are doing to him. He shudders again, and for a second he's losing track of the conversation, but -- ]
But I'll do it.
