"I really wish I could read your novels," she said after hearing the story her cousin read to her. She always admired him every since she opened up to him. She heard great stories from him every time he was with her. Most of them were actually the cases he solved.

"You don't want me to read them for you?" her cousin asked as she could also hear the frown he was making.

"It's not that. I really love it when you are reading them to me but, you're not always here," she sadly replied as she was hugging her knees to her chest while sitting on the chair.

"Then I'll come visit you more often," he told her as he was smiling softly. She felt very happy at first but remembered that he was a detective.

"But you have work, right?" she sadly asked which made the man chuckle at her words. She didn't want him to lose his job just because of her.

"Cous, I miss seeing colors. It's been years since I saw them," she tried looking up in the sky even though she was wearing her blindfold, "and even though I could use my sense of hearing to figure out what things look like, I-" she paused thinking if she should say those words. You see, she was blind and it took her a while to figure out how to take care of herself and do things that normal people could do even though she lost her sight. She could still remember how her brother helped her until she could take care of herself.

"I really want to see you," she finally blurted out. Her cousin was suddenly silent which made her regret saying those words. She knew that she should have kept those words to herself. His silence was worrying her so she faced him and asked, "Is something wrong?"

She knew that he was looking down thinking of something.

"Do you trust me?" he asked. She wondered why he asked a question with an obvious answer. Even though she couldn't figure out what her cousin was thinking, she nodded in reply.

She could hear her cousin taking a deep breath as he began to remove the blindfold she was wearing which actually surprised her. She already understood that he wanted her to open her eyes but she knew that she still wouldn't be able to see anyting.

"C-cous?" she called out.

"Everything will be okay," he comforted her as he held her hands and looked at her with a smile. She really trusted him but she was also having second thoughts on opening her eyes. Come to think of it, he was always there for her when she was feeling very lonely.

With a slow nod, she slowly opened her eyes wondering if her vision would come back.

Colors. Light.

She suddenly closed her eyes because she wasn't used to see what she saw but, she knew what those were. She thought that she was just imagining things so once again, she opened her eyes.

When everything was clear, she saw a man smiling at her. She knew that what she was seeing was true but she still couldn't believe it. Tears were welling up because of happiness. She tried to hold it in but when she couldn't she stood up and went to him so that she could hug him.

It has been years since she was this happy.

"Tsubaki, are you okay?"

She finally snapped back to reality and faced the owner of the voice.

"Yes, Kunikida-san."

The man with blond hair sighed because he knew that she wasn't listening to what he was saying.

"You were dozing off again," he said as he gave her a look that was telling her to pay attention.

"Whoops."

"You really have to stop dozing off," he told her as he handed her a picture. She looked at it, trying to memorize every detail with a hum.

"This person has been missing for a while. Can you gather information about his whereabouts?" he asked her.

"Are there any dangerous or suspicious people involved?" she inquired so she would know if she had to put on a disguise. Kunikida looked at her black eyes and nodded.

Mikan bid farewell and took off while thinking, 'This will be interesting.'
