Aa, Megure-Keibu, please make sure not to mention my involvement into today's case.

[themissingdetective]

[ You'll understand when you're older. ]

A specific case that occupies most of my time.

[spoilsfun]

If you haven't solved that case, what are you doing here?

[How did you get cured if you haven't solved it, he means. ]

[themissingdetective]

I'm not. I needed to call the inspector with information regarding the recent case, that's all.

[spoilsfun]

What? You haven't solved it yet?

[You're breaking your younger self's optimism, older me. ]

[themissingdetective]

[ It's going to get broken eventually. ]

Unfortunately, not. But I have a few leads at least.

[ Really just the one. The one that could possibly get everyone killed. ]

[spoilsfun]

Only a few leads? How long have you been working on this case?

[themissingdetective]

Aheh.. nearly two years now.

[ Sorry about your hopes and dreams there younger me. ]

[spoilsfun]

What.

Are we talking about the same case?

[themissingdetective]

[ There's a disappointed sigh on the other end. ]

Unfortunately, yes we are.

It's not as easy a case as I thought it was going to be.

[spoilsfun]

What's so difficult about it? [Just find the guys in black and get a sample of the poison from them. ]

[themissingdetective]

Let's just say it's a lot bigger than I originally anticipated.

[spoilsfun]

How much bigger.

[themissingdetective]

Global.

[spoilsfun]

[Well, there went all his hopes of ending this quickly.]

Is anyone else working on this?

[Because he knew how good he was, but a global criminal organization might be a little beyond him. ]

[themissingdetective]

Yes, though I can't give you specific details.

[spoilsfun]

Why not?

[themissingdetective]

Why do you think?

[ They're the same person, surely they'll think alike. Then again, this version of him is clearly unaware of the danger he's in now. ]
