Ah there she is…Um…Kyoko I-

Oh…wait she’s…already talking to Makoto…Guess I’ll talk to her later…

Hello Ryota. Did you need something?

GAH! Uh…Oh! Um…yes, I did…

Y-You…didn’t cut short your conversation with Makoto short because of me…right?

Do I really seem like the type of person who would do that?

N-No…Of course not…

Anyway, back to the point…What is it you needed?

Right Right! Um…Kyoko…y-you’re a detective who specialises in murder cases…right?

Yes?

Well…I was wondering if you could maybe…share some of your experiences with me? Like, the types of murders you’ve investigated and…how they differ?

What do you plan to do with that information?

Wh-What do I…What? I um…the thing is…well it’s…

Oh never mind…!

Hm? What’s wrong?

Now that I think about it…it’s probably pretty personal or secretive information so…if you don’t want to tell me…that’s fine…

Ah, I see…You’re mistaken Ryota.

I never said I wouldn’t tell you, I just wish to know why.

Oh! R-Really?

Yes, of course. I doubt whatever your reason is would be a potential problem.

Oh…Th-Thank you very much Kyoko…

Well you see…I’m currently working on a new animation that’s based on crime novels and detective stories…

Oh really?

Y-Yeah and for inspiration purposes I wanted to hear it from a real detective…

I feel like I’d have a more realistic story if I did that…

I promise I won’t tell anyone else if you want to keep your stories secret…

If that was your reason then you should have said so sooner.

My apologies Ryota. But what made you think I wouldn’t want to tell you?

Well from the way you reacted…asking me sternly what I planned to do with the information…kinda scared me…

It made me think that…I couldn’t be trusted with it…

No it’s my fault. My constant doubtfulness of those around me is a weakness of mine…

Wow…I didn’t think you had weaknesses Kyoko…

You always look really cool and stay calm even in stressful situations…honestly you’re incredible…

I can’t imagine anyone as incredible as you having weaknesses…

Everyone has weaknesses Ryota. It’s completely normal to have them. No one person can be good at everything.

Having weaknesses is simply a part of life.

and so is overcoming them. No human is born perfect in everyway. Everyone struggles at some point in their life. Remember that.

Y-Yeah…of course…

The two of you talked about Detective Experiences
