[Kaito's Heart]

[soulping]

[A gust of wind rushes past you, so strong that you nearly stumble backwards from the force. You hear whispers in your ear, an unfamiliar voice saying, no, not here, not now, go back, before your senses shut off entirely]

[You wake up again to find yourself in a room]

[YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY]

[The portrait is a portrait of a compass, but each of the four cardinal directions have been replaced with a different word: Right for North, Necessary for West, Wrong for South, and Responsible for East. The detail on it is pretty incredible, but what may be even more incredible is the fact that the needle on the compass is moving. . . though only slightly. It hovers directly between Right and Necessary, quivering a bit]

[Quivering . . .]

[Reaches up to touch the needle? If that worked with the roses, maybe it will here, too.]

[Touching the needle does not impart feelings]

[It does stop it from quivering, though. It's made of plastic]

Needle . . . Kaito, you should do what's right for you.

[But she doesn't nudge the needle; it's not her place to force him.]

[. . . well, on the bright side, it stops quivering even when she pulls away. It stays firmly between right and necessary]

Do your best, okay?

[. . . Taking a quick moment to check that there's nothing behind the portrait!]
