No fair. You can't answer a question with another question!
[He looks back at Shuichi, but it's only to pout.]
Besides, what have I done to make you think I don't?
[What kind of a question is that, Kokichi??
Well.
Maybe it's a fair question. He's certainly done plenty to keep Shuichi on his toes, but hasn't Shuichi always seen through his shit more than anyone else? They've clashed plenty, but in the end he thought Shuichi did a decent job of making sense of it all. And hasn't Kokichi helped him repeatedly, if subtly, through two different murderschools now?
Maybe it's too much to hope Shuichi can understand him. It's probably foolish and self-indulgent to wish that he would in the first place. But...well, here he is. At the very least, he surely can't be blamed for being just as cautious as Shuichi. Who wants to give themselves away only to get it thrown back in their face?
At some point, heading down the stairs, Shuichi took the lead, and Kokichi's eyebrows raised but he allowed it. And then they end up in front of that door, and Kokichi scoffs and rolls his eyes but pushes the door open anyway. Fine, they can do this in Shuichi's wallowing room.]
