Its funny how much people can effect you without you realizing it. You'd think that, even if something happens, it doesn't really concern you. There were a lot of us like that. But, oh, how wrong we were.
The day Kuroba-kun disappeared, it seemed like the whole world fell apart. I mean, how could Kuroba Kaito just vanish? But he did, and we've all felt the drain from it.
Everyday, the world feels so dark, everyday, it was like something was missing. None of us ever realized how much the magician meant to us, but he really was an integral part of our lives.
Everyone misses him, misses his pranks, his jokes, misses everything about him. But most of all, I think its his smile that left the biggest impression. Sad, angry, happy, or hurt, he'd always have that grin. That grin could really light up someone's day, even if they didn't want it to.
Kuroba Kaito really was a happy person. Oh yes, he had sorrow and pain under that mask, but those didn't matter. He wanted everyone to be happy, no matter what he was feeling. As long as the people around him were happy, he could smile. As long as he was smiling, those around him could be happy. It was an ongoing circle and, now that its broken, it hurts. We all loved him in our own way and we all miss him. But he's gone…just gone, right off the face of the earth. And don't think we haven't tried looking for him. We did everything, everything we could, but he was nowhere to be found. Just…gone.
