For most of us, that's true. But it wasn't like that for Saru-kun. He...If he ever ran out of HOMRA in a mood, it'd be better to send Yata after him rather than me. Saru-kun never wanted me to follow him.

[It makes sense though; Saru-kun's world was essentially Yata. And then Yata stopped looking at him.

Their friendship is one that fell apart due to a lack of communication.]
