No one understood what was happening, Shuichi had lashed out at Kokichi, to which he had been hiding away from the detective, barely annoying him anymore, even less talking.

But now, Kokichi's plan has been set into motion, but something was.. Exposed.

Maki didn't cower and say nothing, scared of being the blackened, like Kokichi expected, no, she yelled that Kaito needed help.

And Shuichi had managed to get there just in time, to see-

...Kokichi and Kaito switching places from the hydraulic press.

Shuichi was shocked, he thought Kokichi was selfish, hateful, and a liar. He never.. Thought, never thought the liar would sacrifice himself for the greater good, especially for Kaito.

And even in that moment, Kokichi and Kaito seemed.. A little closer, they weren't fighting, while Kokichi was obviously woozy from the poison, Kaito was helping him.

Shuichi.. Was devastated.
