Huh.... So just because I said "high school" and nothing happened doesn't mean that I wasn't in high school? I guess that'd be too easy. Or--

[Wait, it's finally clicking. Watch him jump back like a loser.]

M-Murders?!

[evidentiary]

I was a detective.

[akatatai]

What?! That's really cool, but also.... that kind of stuff really freaks me out. I could never do it!

[Not like he'd have a choice if he started remembering things, but hey.]

[evidentiary]

...I suppose it's freaky...? Death has never exactly "freaked me out", I suppose.

[akatatai]

No offense, then, but I'm glad it's you and not me. It's cool and all, but I'd scream and run from a crime scene for sure.

[evidentiary]

That's fair. To each their own...? Rather, the world needs all sorts of skills.

[akatatai]

Yeah, that's true. [But more importantly....] Can one of those skills be getting us unstuck?

[evidentiary]

One would hope - ah.

[ TIME LIMIT UP, so they can let go ]

...strange.

[akatatai]

It was that easy? Just talking about it? I'm never touching candy canes again!

[But what now.... Clearly, it's time to run for his life (not that Kyouko isn't nice!) and be extra sure not to bump into anyone.]

Uh, listen.... Thanks for not cutting my arm off. [How sincere.] But I'm going to get out of here before this happens again, okay?

[evidentiary]

I think that's a fair plan. I'll talk to you later, then...

[ MAYBE...BUT FOR NOW, FAREWELL ]
