[kaitopants]

Simon?

[kaitopants]

... we were friends, before you got brainwashed. Trust me, okay? I'll be there soon. It'll make more sense if I explain in person.

[TTLY ON HIS WAY]

[burningspiral]

Brainwashed--?!

[kaitopants]

Yeah... I'll explain when I get there, I promise.

[a click as he hangs up]

[burningspiral]

[dlkafnld

okay. yeah. he's... waiting?]

[kaitopants]

[knockin' on ur door]

[burningspiral]

[tentatively answering?

is a tiny thing]

[kaitopants]

[peers in at him] Oi, Simon?

[burningspiral]

[Peeking out from the crack between the door and the wall]

[kaitopants]

[a heavy sigh]

... you really don't remember me. [a pause, his heart sinks] Kaito Kuroba. Can I come in?

[burningspiral]

[He opens his mouth to say something.

but so many people say they know him.

Maybe.]

[... he steps aside to let him in]

[kaitopants]

[he lets out a relieved breath and grins, before he steps inside]

... this town is weird. It's called Mayfield. Did someone tell you that?

[burningspiral]

[He nods] A couple people.

[kaitopants]

You were here before. [srs face] Twice. Once like this, and then you were brainwashed for a while. You came back older.

And now you're... [a beat] ... small again.

[burningspiral]

[I'm not that small ;;]

But... that's impossible, isn't it?

[kaitopants]

[headshake]

Not in this place. [he slumps against the door and to the ground] This place doesn't follow laws of reality. You'll see.
