A frustrated sigh. “I need you to get a code to Kaitou Kid. Do it however you have to, but make sure that he’s the only one who hears it. The code is ‘Ballarat’ – please do it as soon as you can, don’t tell anyone else. This is so, so important. Please. Thank you… thank you, if I get the chance to make it up to you I will, but if I don’t, I- ah.”

For pushing too hard, for not pushing hard enough. You won’t hear from me again. I won’t interrupt your happiness. I’m…"A pause, hesitating, then a sigh and a halfhearted laugh. "I’m glad for you, actually. Really glad. I just can’t do it anymore. Even now, I can’t make myself say the words that I should have so long ago. I’m sorry. Goodbye.”
