SCENARIO TIME ˖⋆࿐໋₊
kaito had been trying to train the detective ever since the first trial - when kaede had died . of course , it was mostly doing things like push - ups and other exercises in front of the dorms at night , and shuichi doing most of the training , anyways .
each time , shuichi always came up with some kind of mild excuse to leave early , or spend the rest of the night looking up at the stars with kaito .
he would always say things like ' my chest hurts , ' or ' i feel out of breath , ' to the astronaut , causing him to let shuichi rest . after about a week of him doing this , kaito came to the conclusion that maybe he had some kind of disorder or condition that did this to him - like asthenia . he seemed skinny and often tired enough to fit the descriptions from what he had remembered in his astronaut training , after all .
it was now about a day or two after the second trial - two more people dead . shuichi was exhausted enough as it was , but insisted that he'd join kaito for training . maki wouldn't be there , however , believing she'd begin distancing herself from the other students due to her talent being revealed by kokichi .
this time , kaito had been sure to bring some water and something for shuichi ( and himself ) to eat in case he got tired again .

around an hour passed until shuichi began struggling to breathe - he had lasted a bit longer than kaito thought he would .
the astronaut reached over for a water , handing it over to shuichi with some kind of witty remark that the detective barely heard , something along the lines of " slacking again , huh , shuichi ? " with a playful smile , obviously joking .
he took the water , quickly sitting up and opening it , drinking from the bottle while trying to regain his breath . shuichi then re - capped it , staring down while he messed with the bottle .
" no , it's . . . it's not that , i just . . . i'll d - do better tomorrow , i promise . " he nodded with a slight wince .
of course the detective wanted to tell kaito the real reason , but he was just . . . afraid of doing so . afraid of what the astronaut would think of him - if he'd be hated for it .
shuichi was snapped out of his thoughts by kaito talking to him again .
