[Master? Tsuzuki stares at him, wide-eyed. It's true. They're still partners, but they can't be equal partners anymore: whatever brought them to this place stole Hisoka's memories at the same time as they gave Tsuzuki a title and a house of his own.
It's not fair. It's not equal, and he's not just the senior employee anymore.
He swallows, trying to force down the feeling that he's just stumbled and he still hasn't hit the ground. It's so easy to forget that part. It's so easy to just fall back into talking about the case with Hisoka as if it is just a case, and they're both themselves....]
I won't let you get hurt.
[He means it as passionately as he's ever meant anything in his life. This place is okay, for him. It's even better. But it's taken everything away from Hisoka, and if there is some kind of hidden danger, Tsuzuki can't let it touch him.]
