See, in my eyes, you got the opposite. Obviously, you got some bleedin' heart cop to 'consult' wif ya when he oughta just give ya the boot out the door. Listen, thing is mebbe when you're all grown up? Ya, I could see it, maybe. But you could swallow all the criminal psycho and Agatha Christie books in the entire world an' you still wouldn't be good enough! Know why?
Because catching scumbags takes bleedin' experience, don't it? An' a teeny bopper, no matter how invincible ya think ya are, or how 'ard your life's bin til now? Doesn't even begin. It doesn't even begin to bein' enough. Take it from someone who was your age just a few months ago, this is flippin' horrifyin' that it could be true in whatever sick universe you came from.
Your dad was alive, I'd hope he'd shut down this delusion of yours, cause mark my words, Naoto, it's gonna get you killed!

You need to suspend your disbelief a little higher there, sport.

And also, no. We're not trading because a) I didn't say a word about 'normal' and b) you're just objectively wrong, but...mm, no, I can't even say it was a good try. D for effort. Try basing your argument on the evidence of the world around you next time, I hear it helps.
