[It's...surprising, that this is the reason Kokichi called him here. Something so genuine and heartfelt is...rare, coming from him. Unexpected. especially so, considering how unpredictable Kokichi is by default.]
[It takes him a few moments to actually take the jacket from Kokichi's hands. And for a few moments more, all he can do is stare silently at it, with a melancholy expression on his face.]
[Are you lonely?]
[Yeah, lonely.]
[His grip tightens a little on the fabric as that same feeling of loneliness that had followed Kaito's trial washes over him again. Intensified this time, since it makes him think of Maki as well.]
[And Himiko, Keebo. Gonta...all of them. All their dead friends who somehow didn't end up her with them. It both warms and hurts his heart at the same time.]
...thank you, Oma-kun.
[His voice is quiet and a little sad but completely genuine. He's not just humoring Kokichi or being polite for the sake of being polite. He's truly grateful, not just for the jacket, but for the gesture itself.]
