But it's not like all his students can dive into that swamp and come back safely.

— Why are you so focused on making sure nobody kills Makishima?
— Because it's illegal. Because I can't overlook a crime.

— I can't believe a perv like you is with the Bureau! Wh-Whaddaya think you're looking at?!
— Don't you usually wear matching underwear?
— That's... What? How did this...
— Give me your underwear too.
— L-Look the other way!
— I see. The last item needed to beat the game was hidden on you. Here's the antenna for the transponder.
