Kokichi's P.O.V.

I sighed, tossing and turning on my bed. Things were pretty dull and depressing after Near's trial. No one said said much during dinner. Course that shouldn't matter to me. I shouldn't give a damn about any of them. In fact, I don't care. I sat up, stretching my arms. I don't feel all that tired. I need to stretch my legs.

I hopped off my bed and left my room. I began to aimlessly wander around the hallways and other floors. I do this almost every night. I always need to walk around before I can fall asleep. However, something in particular kept running through my head, and it bothered me a lot. Something about the latest case....

The moment I heard footsteps behind me, I whirled around, eyes wide and inhaling sharply. However, I immediately relaxed upon seeing the bright, pink pair of eyes staring at me innocently.

"Lilac, geez! What the hell?! Why are you wandering around so late? You scared the crap outta me!" I whined. Lilac didn't react much, except tilt her head, looking at me questioningly. I blinked, and sighed. "I just couldn't sleep and decided to walk around. But now I'm just bored. Say," I looked to her, "you probably can't sleep either, right? Wanna walk around with me?" I asked. Lilac smiled and nodded. 

The two of us began to wander around the hallways aimlessly, side by side. She let her eyes wander around the place, her eyes full of wonder. However, I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off her as she took the lead. I needed to ask her something. It was gonna bother the shit out of me if I didn't. "Hey, Lilac, mind if I ask ya something?" I asked. Lilac looked back at me with a puzzled expression, but she nodded regardless.

"....I get you saw Near's clothes in his room, so you knew it was his. But...Violet said you led her there. As if you already knew it was Near's room without even stepping inside. Tell me....how did you know that?" I asked. Suddenly....Lilac's smile dropped. And her eyes seemed to narrow, and darken. It took me off guard, but I only gave her a similar expression. She turned her face away from me, arms behind her back. 

".....I saw you." I tilted my head, puzzled.

"What do you-"

"I saw you spoke to Near. I heard the things you both said." she continued. I blinked, and began to think. What was she talking about? I never talked to Near at night, except for that....that one time....

My eyes widened.

Did....did she know?

There was a long moment of silence, neither of us made a movement. My mind was racing with thoughts. Was she serious? Did she really know? I...I can't take any chances. If she knows, and she tells anyone....my plan will be screwed. So, I took one step forward towards the small girl. And then another. And another. And another. Until finally, I was right behind her. I slowly reached my hand out, and placed it on her shoulder. Then I leaned in close to her, and spoke into her ear....
