Her reply isn't insignificant by any means, but Kaito takes his sweet time in processing the words. Or maybe he's still rebooting after a purported internal BSOD.

I never really asked anyone else about whether they remembered the details or not. Unfortunately for me, that entire day remains imprinted in my mind. It's a terrible time to have near-perfect recall.
[ That gets him to chuckle, but the smile that accompanies it doesn't make it halfway up his cheeks. ]
Death and I have a weird relationship anyway. Maybe that's why I remember everything. Or maybe I'm not that unique.
[ A beat. He smiles again, brighter this time despite it still failing to reach his eyes. ]
Do you think the grass is greener on my side, or would you rather not remember what happened?
