Tohru Adachi is a very interesting case. When Rise first met him it was back in Inaba and he seemed like a well-meaning, if somewhat goofy detective. He was the one who helped keep fans and media away from her when she first returned to Inaba so there was a small amount of gratitude towards him for that. She never really talked much with him, but the few times she did meet him with the other members of the Investigation Team she always thought he was kind of sweet in a bumbling sort of way.
As one who has incredible powers of perception, she was shocked to learn that he was the one behind all the murders and kidnappings, for she had never suspected it. Adachi's acting skills surpass even her own.
After learning this and of all the things that happen after the time she was taken from Rise wasn't sure what to feel towards him. As someone who hadn't quite experienced the revelation, the battle with him, and heard from his mouth his reasons she felt a little detached from everything that had happened. Of course she was wary of him when he arrived in Death City, but in some ways she even pitied him.
That quickly went away when it was revealed that Adachi had killed, violated and eaten the souls of over twenty people, many of those all friends both from home and ones she had made here in Death City. Adachi became a Kishin Egg and Rise was one of the people who helped seal his soul in the Kishin chamber of Death City.
Rise blames herself for everything that Adachi did. Everyone of the Investigation Team who had been there during those times was killed, sans herself and Souji--but he had been tortured and permanently scarred. Now even Souji is gone leaving Rise as the only remaining member from those times which leaves her with a huge deal of Survivor's Guilt.
Where once she had almost felt sorry for him, all Rise feels now is fear and something akin to hatred.
