oh, now what a fun reaction. he knew when he took the case that it was going to be interesting but this was just fun now. trying to defend his desire for the spotlight; how unlike any thief he had met. he might actually enjoy the attention and even better that meant he held extra pride in his heists. " a thief who's real goal is to steal attention... I wonder what would happen then if you didn't get it? " he mused aloud, amused more than anything else. so far this 'Dark' character was proving to be his new favorite puzzle.

he made a side note to tell Hiwatari to ensure that there was no media presence the next time he left a warning letter. in fact ; the best move would be to not even announce they got a letter at all. " I have found asking the questions outright tends to bring the most results; even if the answers are not given in direct ways. you'll be even further interested when I bring up how you have a habit of taking Hikari artworks above anything else... is there something about that family that is special to you perhaps? or more likely, with your fence, Mr. president. i'm guessing the first lady perhaps? or the vice president?

' totally . actually . really ! just trust him .
