[It might be difficult to get drunk with just one bottle for two of them and his fairly good alcohol tolerance, but hey, it's worth a shot.

Crow wants to be angry. He wants to be able to blame someone for what happened, to yell at them, to beat them up, to take revenge-- but there's no one to blame. So that leaves him angry at Kaito, even if he knows his friend had no say in this.

He leans back on the sofa with a loud sigh, staring at the celling now.]

... It's... not that bad, is it?

[His voice is quiet and almost calm, but the shivering of his hands betrays him. He slowly reaches up and pushes his headband down a little, so that the other cannot see his eyes water, his effort proving futile as tears begin to run down his cheeks once again.]

He missed Aoko. And he has stuff to do at home...

[Crow's well aware that Heather knows of Kaitou Kid and his quest to find Pandora -- Kaito told him she does -- so he's sure he doesn't need to go into details for her to understand.]

... maybe we should be happy for him.

[A part of him knows, too; Kaito didn't belong here. Well, none of them really did, but in Crow's eyes, Kaito had much more important reasons to go back to his world than just anyone else. He was doing it for his father. He needed to go back. He wanted to go back. It's better this way.

... So why is it so fucking hard to accept that he's gone?]
