Had they not been in a hurry to get to safety, even if they were technically safe, he might have paid more attention to the fact Kaito had his hand. Might have wondered the significance of him continuing to hold it once they were past the smoke. He was probably just making sure he didn’t lose his way after all.

His head still felt a little weird in all honesty.

“What exactly happened to me back there?”

Kid glanced back at the other, then checked around before slowing the pace a touch. No one seemed to be following them… Still, he’d keep his guard up.

“Hypnosis. I don’t know what you saw… but you were standing in a trance when I got to you,” he answered, with a certainty that said this wasn’t the first time it’s come up. Though… it had been slightly different than the time with Akako, since she’d still been affected up until Spider had ended it. (Couldn’t speak for his own experience, he had no idea what had been going on outside of the illusion he’d been trapped in until Hakuba shocked him out of it with water.)

Shinichi hadn’t been completely under it…? Maybe he’d gotten to the detective too soon, and interrupted it… That… Dangerous as the ability was, it’d be nice if it could be stopped before working at all, actually. Better to not happen at all, but still.
