[Kaito's eyes widen. He listens, and he looks, and he swallows dryly. Something stopped when she was taken. Akane is locked within an endless cycle of life and death. She's always on the verge of disappearing - this is what she meant. Her fevers aren't medical, she's not normally sick at all, she's just in...stasis.]

You have to be here for a reason. If you're here, then there's a reason for it. You didn't die if you're here - there...there's a way. I just know it. Things don't just happen at random. You wouldn't exist if there wasn't a way for you to exist.

Somewhere, in that catbox, there's...there's a place to open and get free. I don't know where, but...at the very least, I can promise you this.

[He swallows.]

I'm a stubborn bastard. No matter what happens--there will be someone who remembers you. Me. I don't forget people, not when they're my friends, not when I'm so goddamn determined to remember, not when...not when it's you, especially.

You will live on, always. Somewhere. Somehow. I know it. Because you're here.
