I know that you are very passionate about Adachi and that you know him inside and out and that he's also your "signature" character. I respect that. But at the same time, I can't help to think that you do tend to put him through a lot of, well, "bad stuff".

The most recent case in point is, of course, the murder "plot". Now I'm not giving away to what degree I have CR with Adachi and the wellness of the castle, but I have to say that it was a disappointment to see that none of it went anywhere. At all.

I know that half of the issue is (was?) also on Stick's end, but I'm not sure what exactly was stopping you from having him calling out or confronting his killer? I'm only wondering because the first concern I had mixed with this one might have a bit of a strain on future threading with you, in a meaningful sense.

I guess what I am trying to say here is to maybe consider the outcomes of what "darker" things you do with Adachi and what impact your CR might have from it all. Sorry if I'm coming off as accusatory as I know the most recent concern is likely a sore spot.
