The door slammed shut and the detective threw off the tarp that had been covering her. Somehow not a single person stopped her as she practically ran home; fueled by nothing but fear and adrenaline. She also somehow managed to stay conscious despite all she had been through.
Of course it had been a trap. She expected absolutely nothing else – that’s why she locked up her computer and shut down Alter Ego except for microphone and camera functions (the program was already powering itself back up when Kyouko arrived home, but there were more important things to think about than the increasingly worried computer). Minimizing her casualties – it was best she didn’t lose anything important at her home just in case something happened to her.
The detective stumbled into the bathroom and collapsed onto the toilet seat. With a towel and a roll of bandages in hand, she lifted up her shirt and flinched at the sight. It looked a lot worse than it was, because only half of the blood was hers. But it was still worse than she expected, and Kyouko knew she would have to start acting quickly, just in case she lost too much blood and passed out.
She really didn’t know how she was alive right now.
[text] Kirigiri-san, I have an important question to ask you.
[text] Are you home? May I come over?
[text] There’s a case and…. it’d be easier to explain in person.
Library
The girl glared at being called short, even though she was only 6 inches shorter than him.
“I am trying to reach for the Nancy Drew novel. My name is Kita Yamashita. And you are?” Kita asked after she introduced herself to the young man.
“Hakuba Saguru,” the half-brit replied, smile turning to a faint wince at the glare. “Interesting choice, Nancy Drew. I must confess that it’s been a number of years since I’ve read any of them."
Hakuba turned his attention back to the shelf and plucked the requested novel from the shelf. He turned it over in his hand as he lowered it, glancing at the title, then offered it to her.
"Mystery fan?”
Library
It was a sunny day at the public library in Tokyo. A high school girl with black hair was in the mystery section. She was trying to get a book that she wanted, but it was too high for her to reach. She tried standing on her toes to get the book, but that failed.“Damn it! Why must the good books always be on the high shelf?”
“Perhaps so that those who are on the shorter end of the spectrum…” The voice came from behind her, belonging to a young man in suit and tie. He reached up, his own height allowing him reasonably easy reach to to the entire shelf. “..have a chance to meet those on the taller end? Hah. Which book are you looking for, miss…?”
He turned toward her with a smile, waiting for a name and further instruction.

“This is the story of my life, perfectly surmised in two screencaps taken no more than three minutes and thirty-six seconds apart.”
“Generally, compliments don’t come with anythin’ negative. Pick one’r th’ other.”
“Stop fighting, you two.” Unfortunately, he was still a shrimp, so he couldn’t intervene if things got out of hand.
“We weren’t fighting! And it was supposed to be balanced; both the good and the bad. Did anyone actually read my soapbox? I’m beginning to feel like I write essays and articles for an empty audience. I don’t write these detailed reports for my health, you know!”
“Fine, fine; I will spare some time this evening to write a piece on Hattori’s merits. All glowing positives. Perhaps that sooth the savage beast talented Osakan detective.”
meitanteiosaka replied to your post: Hey Hakuba-kun! Do you compare your detective skills to Kudo or Hattori?
*folds arms* “Yer reeeeally gratin’ on my nerves, Hakuba.”
“Did you even read the compliments that I offered to you, both in this post and in the aforementioned soapbox discussion? Honestly, Hattori, it’s almost as if you are looking for the negatives and are unwilling to accept the fact that while I am critical, I am also complimentary – when it’s deserved. I’m not going to apologize if you haven’t earned the reassurance that you seek."
Hey Hakuba-kun! Do you compare your detective skills to Kudo or Hattori?
“I think that it’s only natural to compare yourself to your colleagues, particularly in a field as competitive as detective work. Each of us have our strengths and weaknesses, as well as separate contact networks and resources. It’s been rather interesting to see how we stack up as we’ve moved through the same pool of clientele…
"If you’d like my opinion on the comparison, well… I think that I am somewhere between Kudou-san and Hattori. It would be difficult to best Kudou-san; he’s exceptionally brilliant and perceptive. Very determined. He has the tenacity most lack, and a passion and focus that is unparalleled.
"Hattori on the other hand… while he is, admittedly, very good at what he does, he lacks a certain finesse… And I don’t mean style in this instance, but rather, he doesn’t seem to have forethought and care with what he does. Passion, yes. Procedure and attention to fine details, no.
"I could launch into a soapbox discussion about the shortcomings of Hattori, but I think I’ll end the discussion here. After all, he is my colleague, and despite how it may appear to some, I do hold a lot of respect for him.”
