Heiji wasn't too happy to come out of his shower, as the Sun Room was colder than the steamy, warm showers. But Heiji thought that just hanging out in the showers was just a little... suspect. Plus he didn't need to see Shinichi naked and arguing again. That was just awkward.
He wished he could curl up in a patch of sun, but as it was overcast, that didn't seem to be an option. So Heiji put his hands in his pockets and perused the board.
How was he going to break this news to Kenren? No doubt Shinichi was thinking the same thing: pinning a crime on a released prisoner was cold comfort. There was no way to exact justice. Kenren would have to live without his friend and know that the murderer was somewhere else. Possibly in pain, possibly dead, possibly home... No matter where Takasugi was, he wasn't in a place where Kenren could face him.
The detective's shoulders slumped a little, and his eyes trained downwards until he was just standing in front of the bulletin board. The truth hurt the detectives more than those who had lost the victim.
