...

[It's hard.]

[It's hard, having some answers, but not all, because...what can he say to this?]

I have no concrete answer for you, my dear girl. But if we give up now, what's the point? Watching as everything collapses around us? I'd rather die knowing I gave my all than simply lay down and accept it.

[syndromed]

[ rika forces a smile, and doesn't say a lot of things. it's fine. ]

... You're right. We have to just do our best either way.

[greatdeduction]

[He stares at her for a moment.]

I have the feeling that my words do fall on deaf ears. But if they can give you a bit of positivity, my dear, than that's all that matters to me.

[syndromed]

As long as you believe in them, that's enough for me. Fighting half-heartedly won't get you anywhere.

[greatdeduction]

But of course! I would not be the inimitable Herlock Sholmes if I did not put my all into every word I say! I am not a man of half-means and flimsy words, no, no, no!

[syndromed]

Then I will put my faith in you, for the time being.

[greatdeduction]

[A little twirl of the hand, and a bow.]

There would be nothing that would please me more.

[syndromed]

[ ............... anyway! ]

Mii... If Susato ever needs a break, I can make you breakfast, you know! I always do half the cooking back home.

[greatdeduction]

Oh, you can? My dear girl, how kind of you. Who did the other half of cooking, may I ask?

[syndromed]

My best friend, Satoko. We live together, just the two of us.

[greatdeduction]

Oh? And what is Satoko like?

[syndromed]

She's really clever and sneaky, and always does her best!

But she can also be stubborn.

[greatdeduction]

Ah, a most interesting combination of traits. I'm sure you're the type to keep her on the straight and narrow, hm?

[syndromed]

Is that my responsibility?

[greatdeduction]

Is it not?

[syndromed]

... Well, I try to!

[greatdeduction]

But you fail at it, don't you.

[syndromed]

That's because she's so stubborn!

[greatdeduction]

But of course! Stubborn souls such as myself find it very difficult to listen to anyone with a sensible head! It's just facts!

[syndromed]

Mii... But a great detective should be sensible, right?

[greatdeduction]

Most of the time, yes.

[syndromed]

But sometimes not?

[greatdeduction]

...


Maybe!

[CAUGHT IN YOUR WORDS, HUH, SHOLMES]

[syndromed]

How do you decide when to be stubborn and when to be sensible?

[greatdeduction]

Whenever I feel like it! Ahahaha!
