Break What You Touch
Saguru glanced out the window of the airplane. The sky was completely dark and as the detective glanced to the horizon he could not see where the sky ended and the sea began.
Reaching up Saguru clicked the light above him on. There was a Sherlock Holmes novel on the seat next to his own. He had not read it in a while and he had thought that the flight would have been a good time for it.
But for some reason he was not in the mood to read. He once again looked at the window but this time he could not see through it anymore, because of the light. But he was not even trying to observe the scenery. He was looking at his reflection. Once again his head was filled with Mrs Daymore's horrified voice and screams.
"S-Stop looking at me like that!"
"What did she see?" he questioned himself as he absorbed the details of his face. All the pleasant smiles and disrespective glances were a mask, someone he used to be. Before he had realized how dark other people truly were. How dark he truly was.
"Is that what you saw?" Saguru spoke in barely a whisper as he looked into his eyes, into his soul. They were as empty as everything about him.
"Did you see my darkness?" Saguru turned away from the window and shot a quick glance at the still untouched novel on the empty seat next to him. He then leaned back and stared at the ceiling with unfeeling eyes. How long had it been now? How long had the seat next to him been empty, rhetorically speaking?
"How many times has that happened already?" he muttered. "How many times have I completely broken a criminal? Surely my darkness isn't that deep?" He turned his head to the side, glancing at the dark plane.
"I wonder..." were Saguru's last words before he turned the light off and drifted to sleep.
I wonder what Kid would see? Would I shatter even him? Or could he be the one to finally cure me and turn me back to who I used to be?
