I hate to discourage you, but now that you know he is capable of sight, he'd probably dodge you.
[She actually smirks, but it's suddenly very shaky. Beneath the business and the normal restraint and whatever else is happening tonight, it's really sobering to walk towards your own.]
Speaking of him, however: We had an agreement to share relevant information. While some of us were...indisposed by the penguin, I was told, Ranpo was quite vocal about refusing any hint as a reward. [And frankly, since she is about to die in large part due to a purchased hint... Caren was skeptical about their efficacy before, but they seem worth the price in retrospect.] Unfortunately, Madara Mikejima was reportedly behaving the same way, so I interpreted both as suspicious. Ranpo Edogawa's later behavior at trial reinforced my belief that he had no desire to see murders committed by Reapers solved.
Eh. I've fought rogues before. I only have to land a hit once.
[He whistles, though, when she tells the story of choosing Ranpo and Madara. It's a little admiring, but a little not.]
You really saw a shot and went for it, huh? I've had my suspicions about some people for a while, but never wanted to take out somebody I wasn't sure about. It was risky.
Two weeks ago, I would've said it paid off, and I woulda really admired you for taking that chance. But now, I'm not so sure.
