Shuichi's POV

I felt my eyes slowly flutter open. I felt dazed and confused- and these feelings intensified upon realizing that I wasn't wearing any clothes. My eyes shot open as I remembered the events of last night. I blushed madly and turned over, noticing that the phantom thief- Kokichi Ouma- had already left, and not a single trace of him remained. I sighed and sat up slowly, thoughts filling my head.
I fell in love with the phantom thief- my sworn enemy who I'm supposed to bring to justice.
I tried to swing my legs over the edge of my bed, but jumped at the dull aching pain that started up in my um... behind.
Shit.
Ignoring the pain I stood up anyway- finding it challenging to walk- and hobbled my way into the bathroom to take a shower. But while in the shower, thoughts continued filling up every corner of my brain.
What if someone finds out? I'll be in so much legal trouble- And what if I get put into a situation where I have to arrest Kokichi- like accidentally cornering him in front of others? I don't want me or him to get arrested and jailed- What if this counts as treason- I could be jailed for treason!- What if someone saw him enter my apartment through the window, and the police were outside of my house even now? How could I let this happen- How did I fall for my biggest enemy-
But a different part of my brain was filled with thoughts of love and adoration for the phantom thief whom I had fallen for. I caught myself smiling at my forbidden love for him... Aside from his malicious thievery he was absolutely beautiful both in and out- But what were we even...? I audibly sighed, water and body scrub running down my body as I lathered myself in it.
What the fuck do I do about all this...?
After washing my hair and rinsing my body one final time, I left the shower, before wrapping myself in a towel and reentering my bedroom area. I finally got around to shutting the window, and after pulling the curtains shut, began changing into some everyday clothes.
I, for sure, needed a day off today- Hell!- I could barely walk haha- Hopefully no one needed me at the agency today.
After getting dressed, I turned around to begin stripping my bedsheets, but found a note tucked away under a pillow.

"My darling detective,
I wanna talk to you, about what happened. Meet me at the Sogi Power Station, 'kay? It's an abandoned factory in the remote areas of Tokyo.
Come alone- I won't hurt you, I swear. I'm just not in the mood to- ya know- get thrown into a cold cell somewhere.
This isn't a clue of any sort. It's genuine. Be there at 2. Cya.
- The Phantom Thief of Hearts"

I put the note slightly down and covered my mouth in thought. It makes sense that the thief would want to meet at some kind of abandoned factory- he obviously didn't want to get caught- and I didn't want to get caught being there with him without approval from authorities. A nagging tinge of curiosity pulled at my heartstrings, which caused me to immediately decide I'd go.
