As if by magic or another supernatural force, Shuichi approached the library and entered with careful, measured steps. It was hauntingly unusual for their to be no lights on anywhere, no candles or any source of illumination whatsoever. He scuffed his feet along the floor to navigate through the absent doorway, to search for an entrance to what felt like a maze. With his arms outstretched, he felt around and stumbled through the open doorway space, continuing forwards for the direction of the secret bookcase doorway.

"Hello?" The detective let out a plea.

There was silence before footsteps. In the darkness it was impossible to see who it was but at long as it was another person, all would be well. The steps echoed like they were in a chamber yet abruptly stopped, leaving the only sound to be a shallow intake and exhale of breath. Their breaths were being measured, coming out in a in, 1 2, out, 1 2 method, prepping itself for a stand off.

Shuichi took a moment to himself before speaking

Shuichi took a moment to himself before speaking. It would all work out. "Who's there?"

"Kaito." Uncharacteristic, the reply was. It was colder, less welcoming. There was no grande and slightly narcissistic introduction, 'Kaito Momota! Luminary of the stars!', instead there was cynicism and weariness glossing his tone.

"I ended it." Shuichi spoke with the same lacklustre and debilitated tone of voice.

The sentence hung in the air for a few seconds... maybe it was minutes. Shuichi was rushed with a sudden dread, a fear that something wasn't right here. Kaito was inspirational, he tried too hard and got to wrong idea but he was never afraid to give a speech despite if he had an audience, only if there was one person in that room, he'd make them feel loved, in the classic Kaito way. He just had that nuanced charisma that no one could fake.
