Tell us how you find him utterly precious &lt;3"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/31.media.tumblr.com\/271b8072dd2ee308b6f77e0745db0eb3\/tumblr_inline_nalh17YmiB1rms2iz.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Kuroba Kaito\u2026 is, for the most part, an arrogant arse who enjoys laughing at the expense of others. He\u2019s disruptive in class, inappropriate with the ladies, disrespectful to authority and to his classmates, and insanely stubborn. Despite the evidence that I\u2019ve supplied, he has continued his vehement denial, both in reference to his thinly veiled alter ego and to my trustworthiness.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The thievery, being a crime, is an unfortunate blemish on his otherwise spotless record. As frustrating and annoying as he is, the pranks that he plays are not something that could be written up except through the school administration, which is hardly something to worry about. I do hope, in fact, that his being a minor and, with the record he has for being a class clown, will help him attain a lighter sentence overall if he is ever arrested for his moonlighting.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It seems that he realizes, at least in part, just how dangerous the work is, and how serious his crimes are. He\u2019s careful not to be caught, to avoid leaving any traces, and to distance himself from others. In fact, even those who might be his allies are held at arm\u2019s length, sacrificing whatever emotional refuge he might have for this\u2026\u00a0<em>goal<\/em> of his, whatever that might be. Clearly, whatever he is seeking is important enough to risk his life and well-being, which he does every single day, not just on his heists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The heists themselves are terrifying. I say this as both a spectator and a detective involved in attempting his capture. Although he has tried to put countermeasures into place to reduce risk of injury to all participants, people can and do get hurt. As I\u2019ve pulled back from the chasing, my focus has shifted to scouting the perimeter, watching for would-be assassins. Every heist brings out suspicious characters, some armed, some not, and it\u2019s difficult to tell in the mass of shouting fans who the professionals are.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Someone such as Spider, for instance, would know precisely when and where to strike. Others, like Delon, only needed a badge to gain clearance, which allowed him to open fire on Kaitou Kid, despite Japan\u2019s strict gun control laws. Kaito plans for many things, but he can\u2019t control everyone. There are far too many variables in play for him to guarantee the safety of anyone. And with Conan-kun and his little friends deeply entrenched in proving themselves with his arrest\u2026 God, I\u2019m just grateful that he\u2019s as good as he is. So far, he\u2019s managed. I can only pray that his luck continues to hold out.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;As for the matter of his being \u2018precious\u2019\u2026 Well, of course, no one can deny that the young man is certainly quite attractive, and his passion for what he does pushes those qualities even further. His dedication is, in a word, enchanting. Spend one afternoon observing him and anyone would be hard pressed to not to be taken by him.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The smile, the laughter; it\u2019s infectious. And although the pranks he pulls are unnecessary and, honestly, selfish and inconsiderate, the technical skill he employs to pull them off is impressive. That skill he would not have attained without countless hours of focused practice which, I believe, is driven by the love and admiration that he has for his father. It\u2019s difficult to stay mad at someone for demonstrating that, even if it involves turning one\u2019s hair ghastly shades of fluorescent pink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span>He exemplifies the order, \u2018Keep Calm and Carry On.\u2019<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><span>He does his best not to let it show how worn he is by what he does. He\u2019s proud and stubborn, but continues to radiate light despite all of the darkness in this wretched world. I could go on and on about his keen senses, his intelligence, his generosity, and the pointed naivety, but I think it\u2019s suffice to say that I admire him. He may be the one case that proved not to be as simple or open and shut as I previously thought, but I do hope that he continues to surprise me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&quot;I need him to stay alive and free for that. Life wouldn\u2019t be the same without him. That\u2019s why I\u2019m to protect him, even if he will never believe that to be the case.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&ldquo;Kuroba Kaito\u2026 is, for the most part, an arrogant arse who enjoys laughing at the expense of others.
