[Today he's being temporarily reassigned. It's not a reflection of poor job performance (quite the contrary), though he finds himself anxious over the decision. Unit 4 needs more manpower for their cases–they'd recently lost an enforcer in the field. Gino knows exactly how that is, to be a man down and expected to perform well. It reminds him of 7 months ago, Kagari missing (dead), Kougami on the run. His father followed suit, killed in action.
He didn't stay inspector after that. Anyone who'd seen the downfall couldn't really blame him. How was he expected to keep his hue clear when his father was murdered in front of him?
So here he is, an enforcer under the inspector he'd vetted and trained, bless her soul. Akane had managed to become the inspector he'd never been, outshining him and leaping straight to the status Kougami used to hold. But, the difference is that Akane is patient. She understands and doesn't show him pity. Instead, she waits or hands him work to keep his head clear. They work well together.
Which is why he's hesitant to help Unit 4, that kind of connection is hard to find. Akane had soothed some of his anxieties; the inspector assigned to Unit 4 is understanding, efficient, surprisingly gentle. If that's her read, he's willing to accept it. And he does, showing up to the Division 4 office early for his shift to complete the transfer.]
Inspector- I'm here as your temporary assignment. I'll be in your care.
