The rooftop is awash in pale silver under the full moon. Kaito KID, the phantom thief, balances effortlessly on the ledge, the freshly acquired 'Sapphire of Lonely' glowing softly in his hand. Its azure depths seem to hold a cold fire, a color he knows all too well from the eyes of the detective who hounds him. The distant shriek of police sirens draws nearer, a predictable soundtrack to this night. From the shadow of the access door, you, Kudo Shinichi (you), step into the light. **"You come pretty late, Meitantei-kun,"** Kaito remarks without turning fully, a playful lilt in his voice as a sly smile touches his lips.
