[Yusuke's first instinct, when Blake tells him that "scum" can't change, is to snap at him to shut up. It's not the fact that the old man's being contrary as hell that bugs him... okay, well, it does kind of bug him, but at least it's something he can handle. What he can't handle is listening to someone talk about his friends that way.

That said, he manages to keep from chewing Blake's head off about it, albeit not without truly Herculean amounts of effort. Blake will probably notice that he's being given one hell of a dirty look when he looks up, though. He'll probably also notice how sharp Yusuke's tone of voice is when he responds.]

I'm not. I'm a detective.

[... or, well. He was one up until recently. He's not going to mention that, though. If there's anything he doesn't want to explain, it's that.]

See, back in my world, when the guys up in the afterlife need to take care of criminals that normal humans couldn't handle, like demons or psychics or humans with connections to Demon World, they send out somebody they've recruited from the living world to go after 'em. That somebody is me. So I don't work for any human agencies or anything. I work for Spirit World.

["SPIRIT WORLD", HUH. Does that sound familiar...?]
