1/2

[He doesn't look convinced at all. Even if he's more inclined to listen to Kaito now, a little bit, since his opinion of the boy has changed after what they went through together...this situation is still impossible. Abysmally so, even. But he's Shuichi's best friend, so he's not going to actually say anything. Plus, he doesn't want to actually discuss it either, since...that person is kind of the detective himself.

He doesn't want the other boy cornering him into a confession...

So he just offer him a short, somewhat dismissive hum in reply, focusing instead on what he says next.]

Thanks...again. I will.

[Really, he can't thank you enough...]
