“Kuroba-kun?” Hakuba asked for he third time, brows creased with concern as he shook the other boy’s shoulder. There was no response. Vitals were checked, confirmed, time of death noted through a blurred veil of tears. He wanted to scream. To make demands. To try any and everything to bring him back. But he knew that it was too late. All of his training confirmed that. There was nothing he could do but pull the other boy into his arms and weep, waiting for their promised backup to arrive.

“…Hakuba.” Kaito states, not knowing what else to do.

“Then who is on top of your list, Hakuba? While I may not be the most…deadly of your rivals, I’m certainly the funnest, and you my dear detective need some fun in your life. I’d hate to see your talents go to waste on a lesser criminal than me.

Hmm, nope… Our little detective of the east is currently my favorite. He keeps me busy enough without you here. Unless you’re willing to change that? I propose a game for my second favorite detective of all time. I don’t want your skills to weaken after your time overseas, it’ll do you good. If you’re interested? 

"Now, now, I’m not about to give away my list of targets… Rest-assured, you are one of my favorite criminals to chase, but I’m not sure how interested I am in catching you. Believe it or not, it’s kind of entertaining to watch my little kohai chase you.”

“…though I’ll admit that I’m hurt that I’m only your second favorite detective. If you have something in mind for me to redeem myself, I’m all ears and very interested.”

“Shouldn’t you spend some time with your other criminals, Hakuba dearest? I’m beginning to think that you’re becoming obsessed with me."

"Obsessed? Really. Whatever gave you that idea? You ought to know that I divide my attention equally among the criminals I chase, at least proportionally speaking according to priority, severeness of crime, level of obnoxiousness, and time sensitivity… Which means that you are not nearly at the top of my list. So no, not obsessed. Just curious.”

“…Unless you want me to be obsessed for some reason. Did you miss me, dear thief? I know I’ve been overseas for a while…”
