[Heart Game - Ed, Maya, Roxy]

[It's dark. You're trying to move forward, but it feels like your limbs are weighed down by chains and shackles. Still, you push. You push and you pull and those chains are pulled taut and strained until suddenly--]

[Something snaps]

[You tumble forward, wind blowing past your face, until you lose awareness of anything around you. . .]

...Hm...

Is it on the other side of a path that involves emotional scars, then?

[soulping]

Not necessarily.

[he lowers the pool cue until it's resting on the edges of the table]

There are many ways to young master's heart-- the very core of who he is. You can reach it by going through a difficult area, yes. . .

But you may also reach it by finding that which he loves.

[fuhrinkaed]

So... Aoko or incredibly cool magical capers.

And the clocktower, then, is the core of who he is...

[Thinking...]

That makes sense, considering how it came up.

[soulping]

Not necessarily just Aoko-kun. There are many people he loves, in many different ways.

[another nod]

And that's correct. That is his center.

[fuhrinkaed]

...Alright then. I think I know where to start.

Thanks for the tip--I really appreciate it. I've got it from here.

[soulping]

[he inclines his head forward]

You're welcome, Ed-san. And good luck. . .!

[fuhrinkaed]

No problem. I'll do my best!

[I guess we are flying off back to the tiaboat. If there's one thing Kaito loves, it's his team!]
