“Honey, this is the point where I need to remind you that if you were children and did knew each other at that point in time, then I don’t think the other three would even think about ganging up on one of you like that. Even with that knowledge, I doubt that they’d play pretend where someone gets eaten.

"Also, I’m pretty sure that it’s just Kaito trying to show off a new trick. It’s the most logical possibility, after all.”

“You must not have had very scientific-minded friends, then… Even from a very young age, I was instilled with a desire for practical application of the sciences, in as much as I understood them, into my games of pretend. For example, when playing house, you are careful not to let the oven get too hot less your cake is cooked unevenly, even though there was no real cake to begin with.

"And dragons were not merely magical beasts, but creatures with specific dietary requirements that had to be met, requiring several hours of hunting and gathering from the garden and kitchen to procure the right kind of meal, even though the dragon in question was, in reality, nothing more than a vinyl mold…

"So if Kaito-kun, Kudou-senpai, and/or Hattori-san were anything like I was as a small child, I imagine it would play out something just like this…

"After all, someone has to be the loser, and sometimes that loser has to be eaten.”
