Hakuba, where in Paris is your favourite place to hang about? The Latin Quarter? Shakespeare & Co.? One of the museums or galleries?

“Oh, most any place in Paris is wonderful, but my most favorite is a little cafe on the corner where everyone brings their dogs. The servers set out bowls for them, so that master and pet can enjoy the gourmet food together. It’s a wonderful spot to take up a corner and watch them interact. Everyone is an animal lover… it’s delightful.”

Is there anyone you would like to have children with (sex notwithstanding)?

“Ah, well… I would love to raise a family with whomever I have a long-term committed relationship with. In an ideal world, my affections would be returned by that person, and it would all come together, somehow… though adoption or surrogate parenting, or something of that nature… but I suppose only time will tell.”

Hakaba, was there a case you had the was completely messed up? Before you met Kaito Kid because he’s a case all on his own.

“Frankly, I’m insulted that you would insinuate that I have ‘messed up’ on the Kaitou Kid case, as I have not. It is still open and being investigated. Further, the fact that I haven’t taken action with the case, despite having all of the evidence that I need, should indicate that there are reasons for me to withhold at present.”

"As for ‘completely messed up’ – oh, do you mean that the case itself was particularly odd? Oh. Oh. That changes things. Hm.”

"I would have to say the case of the cannibalistic butcher would have to rank up in my top five at least. He was such an angry old man…”

What would you do if you heard loud violin screeching coming from next door at 2 in the morning?

“Next door as in… the room next to mine? It ought to be empty, as there are only three of us living in this enormous house. Who’s broken in? What are they doing? Why are they murdering that poor instrument?!”

“…and then I would wonder if it’s that wretched cat burglar again, trying to get my attention. Bloody feline, always so needy…”
