3: Talk about the person you’ve had the most intense romantic feelings for.

“Most intense romantic feelings, hm? I suppose that would be, thus far, my feelings for Kaitou-san. I know that it’s unconventional – a detective and a thief? Particularly one so wild and desired by so many… Well, the heart is a fragile, mysterious thing. I suppose I would have to say that it’s been touch-and-go ever since I met him. Complicated. Uncertain. But he himself, whether he has the monocle and cape on, or not, is a truly wonderful person. At least, I believe he is…  He’s very charming and persuasive. Cute. Obnoxious. Sometimes fickle. Very sneaky. Aggravating. Addicting. And oh, so stubborn.” 

6: Talk about the worst birthday you’ve had. (5 is a repeat so here’s the next one in line. How relevant!)

"Oddly enough, I think today’s was one of, if not, the worst. It was a constant battle of mood whiplash. I received many kind notes and gifts from friends, which was wonderfully unexpected. However, the date slipped the minds of a couple of fairly important people (my father, for one) and they forgot entirely. Not that it mattered, however,  as right after a particularly aggravating and exhausting argument with an old flame about how terrible I am, proceeded to get into a terrible car accident on the way to Tokyo. This landed myself and a classmate/friend in the hospital. She’s in a coma now, and I’m being forced to stay overnight for observation. Happy birthday to me. I suppose I didn’t need a car anyway. It only had immense sentimental value to me. But at least the morning was relatively fine.”

7: Talk about your biggest insecurity.

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my past, and am worried that others will be unable to see past them. Because it feels so hopeless, I often times fail to see the point in trying to improve my situation. One more drop in the bucket isn’t going to matter, is it? I constantly flip-flop on the issue, trying to stop, trying to get better, yet… 

"Ah, but I digress.  The sins of my past, I suppose, and the idea that I will never be able to move past them. Or even if I do that it won’t matter anyway because it’s far too late.”

8: Talk about the thing you are most proud of.

“The rehabilitation center that I volunteered for was staffed by an older gentleman who told me that a bird like Watson was meant only for seasoned, expert austringers… yet, despite the fact that I was far younger and inexperienced than the others, she chose me to trust and bond with.

"They even had to get special permits approved for me to keep her because of my age, but I passed all of their other requirements and tests and… now, she’s all mine.”

9: Talk about little things on your body that you like the most

image

"I… ah, I wish that being a ‘halfer’ weren’t such a big deal here in Japan. I rather like my English features, and the places where the Japanese heritage shows through, well, it’s… unique, I think. Slight differences; such as a different curve to my eyes than either of my parents, broad shoulders, but lean body. I like the way that I look. Scientifically speaking, mixing heritages only makes genes better and stronger, right? And yet…”

10: Talk about the biggest fight you’ve ever had.

image

“It was with Baaya, actually… when I was fourteen. It was after, ah, the situation with John and… well, she literally saved my life. We screamed at each other on that rooftop for probably two hours until security came up and told us to leave. Granted, it was two in the morning… But she let me lean on her in the car ride home and didn’t say a word to my father, as promised. I should… I should be better for her, really. She’s done so much for me.”

11: Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.

image

"I once had a dream that I was turned into a dragon, if you can believe it. It was amazing. I flew away from this God-forsaken country and explored all of Asia, Russia, and then Europe before finding a nice, big cave for my hoard – which was a gigantic pile of books, incidentally; not gold and gemstones.”

24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot.

image

“Hattori-san told me that I was welcome to yell at him any time I needed to. That was… actually very sweet of him, though I wonder how effective it is, since he’s usually the one making me yell in the first place. All the same, it did mean a lot to me. I think. Relatively.”

38: Talk about songs that remind you of certain people.

image

“If I start answering this legitimately, I’ll end up with an entire playlist of sappy songs of unrequited love devoted to half of the cast of Detective Conan and Magic Kaito, as well as a smattering of other characters from series that I really shouldn’t have knowledge of (but am grateful for).

"So instead, I would like to dedicate ‘We Are the Champions’ by Queen to my fellow detective colleagues.”
