Summary: Kaito's hallucination takes a turn for the tragic.
Silently, Kaito slipped back into his bedroom through the window, already changed out of Kid's white suit and cape (though the monocle was in a pocket tucked close to his heart, a dangerous weakness considering the circumstances, but one he was having trouble denying himself nonetheless). He rolled his eyes to see his dad already back in the front room, reclined carelessly across the couch and looking for all the world like he hadn't just been traipsing along rooftops and tree canopies, hounding Kaito to 'do better' and 'reach higher' and earn the Kaitou Kid name.
"Hakuba sleeps there, you know." He said, taking great pleasure with every word. He had heard before that absence made the heart grow fonder, and understood as well as anyone that the dead were perfect in the eyes of those they left behind. But his dad was really beginning to get on his nerves. "You're gonna catch detective."
His dad sniped back in kind and Kaito frowned. "I have not." He insisted. "What would you know about it anyway?"
