Ohshit.“Um… Uh… About that…” KID laughed nervously, then sighed and set his drink down on the floor. He took off his gloves and set them aside. This was going to be a long night… “Hakuba, please don’t freak out.”
He removed the contacts. Well, he’d have to get a new pair soon. If this pair so easily slipped, he’d need a better pair to perform heists. “My eyes turn red at night, so I have to wear these. That gem they’re after to become immortal? It was real. I destroyed it. Unfortunately, it had side effects.”
Don’t freak out. That wasn’t comforting.
Hakuba took in a breath and steeled himself, incredulous expression slipping into place out of habit. He opened his mouth, hesitated, then closed it, raising a hand to his chin to think.
Then he bit his lip.
“…Let me get this straight. There is a group that is being referred to as ‘ravens’ that are trying to do something impossible, which you’ve now just specified is finding a gem to become immortal… and this whole time you’ve been after it, too… which I guess explains the heists… And you found it. And destroyed it. And now your eyes are red at night.”
The detective let out a shaky breath.
“And this somehow has to do with Koizumi-san. And, I imagine, Kudou-san and Edogawa-kun.”
Clicking his tongue, Hakuba then looked up at the ceiling.
“What kind of side effects, specifically, does it come with? How long has this been going on?"
