Kanji's face brightened. "Oh, e-erm... y'know, nothin'... it's..."
He rubbed his face. C'mon, this wasn't high school and it wasn't like it was a huge secret. Okay, it was kind of a secret, but he trusted Souji with it.
"A'right, a'right- I mean, I-I miss Naoto. She's kickin' ass in her career and I couldn't be happier for her. She more than earned it and she's seein' amazing places and doin' amazing things! The pictures she sends me, man, they're fuckin' amazing and I'd love to see some'a these places around the world she just casually pops into for cases."
But he leans back with a sigh. "I just get nights where I wish I wasn't holding a pillow or days where I wasn't sitting by myself or with some classmates havin' lunch. It's one thing bein' able to get a video chat goin' to shoot the breeze or fire up LINE and check in on each other... but another thing entirely to just... be able to reach out n' touch her, y'know?"
He sat upright. "Oh, man... but she visits and schoolwork can fuck off, my schedule's just full as hell of her. Video chats are like- like dimmer switches, man. Ya see her up close and my socks just blow right off, she's so goddamn pretty... I think to myself: Why couldn't I somehow be smart enough for detective work? Go Watson to her Sherlock and be able to take Europe by storm with her or somethin'? I-"
Kanji shook his head, held up his hands. "Wh-whoa, okay... yeah... I'm kinda rambling at this point. I-it's been a while since the last visit."
