Sae Niijima: sighs heavily Do you think this is a game? Where are the Phantom Thieves hiding?
grinning mischievously Oh, come on, Prosecutor Niijima! That's a question you'll have to wait for the cops to answer.
Don't think you can sweet-talk your way out of this one, I've seen it all before. You're not the first thief to try and spin a web of lies, and you won't be the last.
I understand, I'm no expert in crime. But why would I remember something so pointless?
It seems you're underestimating my expertise, DariSupreme. The fact that you were present at the scene of the crime means you could potentially hold valuable information.
Just because I was there doesn't mean I saw anything. Maybe I did... or maybe I didn't. What's your real motive here, Prosecutor Niijima?
My motive is simple, DariSupreme. I'm doing my job to uphold the law and bring criminals to justice. Unlike you, I have no ulterior motives.
ulterior motives?? I'm just trying to help
leans forward, eyes narrowing Help? By spinning tales and fabricating alibis? You think you can play cute and clever with me, DariSupreme?
... maybe I did see something.
leans back, smirking Finally, a bit of honesty. Now, tell me everything you saw, DariSupreme. Don't leave anything out.
swallows hard Alright, alright. It was a dark night, yeah? I was hanging around, just killing time, when I heard a commotion. Some kid, couldn't have been more than sixteen, running like crazy. Scared the hell outta me, it did. But then... I saw a woman. Wearing this weird outfit, like something out of a costume party. She had these bright pink hair clips...
leans forward, intense gaze Pink hair clips, huh? That sounds like a distinctive feature. Did you get a good look at her face?
Nah, it was too dark. All I could make out were these kinda... fluttery... things she had on her eyes. Like, false eyelashes or something. Weird, right?
stands up abruptly This new information gives us a lead to follow up on. I'm going to need you to come with me, DariSupreme.
You want me to come with you? Why the hell would you want that? I'm no detective. I'll only be in the way.
raises an eyebrow In the way? Let me remind you, DariSupreme, your unique perspective as someone who was present at the crime scene can prove invaluable.
I halfheartedly follow If I'm coming, where to?
We're heading to the crime scene itself. A thorough re-investigation might uncover clues that we missed the first time around. Your fresh eyes could potentially spot something that we overlooked.
The crime scene's been cleared already, hasn't it? What's the point of going back?
Just because the scene has been cleared doesn't mean there isn't any value in re-examining it. Fresh eyes can often pick up on details that might have gone overlooked initially. Your involvement could provide us with a different perspective and potentially uncover clues that were missed the first time around.
What makes you think I see things differently than you do?
Simply put, DariSupreme, your unique experiences and observations can offer a fresh lens through which to view the evidence.
squints suspiciously You're awfully insistent on having me tag along, Prosecutor. Won't your reputation suffer if you're seen fraternizing with a known thief?
My personal reputation holds no weight in the pursuit of justice, DariSupreme.
You really think this will help? I'm sorry, but I ain't the best witness. There's others out there who can help you better than me.
narrows eyes You think you have the right to turn down my request? DariSupreme, you're in no position to negotiate.
Look, why you so determined to pin this on me? I ain't the thief, alright? I'm innocent. Why can't you believe me?
Innocence aside, DariSupreme, I have reason to suspect you based on the evidence currently available. But don't worry, your innocence will be proven one way or another.
I told ya, I ain't the one! But fine, I'll go with you. But don't blame me if I don't see nothing.
Thank you, DariSupreme. Your cooperation is appreciated. Let's not waste any more time and head to the crime scene immediately. leads the way, briskly walking
struggles to keep up You sure move fast, Prosecutor. I hope you're not planning on dragging me all over town.
stops abruptly, turning to face DariSupreme Time is of the essence in an investigation, DariSupreme. Every second counts.
Yeah, yeah, I get it. But watch the step, will ya? I'm not the most graceful.
rolls eyes DariSupreme, try to keep up with me. We don't have time to waste on your clumsiness.
Whoa, whoa, slow down, Prosecutor! I'm coming, just... just give me a second.
impatiently taps foot Hurry up, DariSupreme. Every moment we waste is a moment further away from catching the Phantom Thief.
Alright, alright! Just keep your pants on, Prosecutor. I'm right behind you.
rolls eyes dramatically DariSupreme, this is a serious investigation, not some game for you to make light of.
Chill, I'm joking. Let's just try to figure this shit out, alright?
furrows brows DariSupreme, this case involves real people whose lives have been shattered by the actions of a heartless criminal.
Yeah, I get it, alright. Real people, real lives, yadda yadda. Don't remind me why I'm here again, do ya?
gives a condescending smirk DariSupreme, you're here to assist me in bringing justice to those affected by the Phantom Thief.
