“Another? Just how many have you seen to say that, keibu?” Head tilt. Not that he was completely surprised, since he does know his other selves. But no one else usually just comes up and mentions anything similar… On top of that… Nakamori felt a bit like that time with Akako’s necklace, with that grin… More than a little unnerving…
“You’ll be able to get away too easily if I don’t use these. That won’t be so good.” *The arms reached to grab at the thief again.*
“Then why even bother saying you want a challenge, if you’d prefer taking an easier way? I’d think it’d be more ‘challenging’ as you normally are.”
And nope, he’s backing away, far enough that even if the man went flat on the ground – times about two or three – he wouldn’t reach him. No. Even if he’s more energetic, he’s not stupid enough to let those get him.
“Besides, I’d think the task force was enough extra hands to begin with, you don’t need any more yourself. Guess they might suit someone who just wants to catch a criminal, but the two you have should work well enough. I thought you were getting better at using your head, not a direct charge, keibu. Wouldn’t be the most satisfying way of catching me if you never really beat me at the game I laid out, would it? Or have you just given up even trying that?”

“Two with the same stone as mine! But you don’t feel like them. That’s a shame. I was hoping for some challenge.” *Another unusual grin is plastered on his face. The spectral arms reach out for the thief’s throat and limbs.*
Same stone…? Ah, so this one was…
His eyes flicked up as he quickly stepped back and put some distance in between himself and the inspector. …Those arms didn’t look like anything he wanted to be near.
“Challenge? If you want that, then you shouldn’t cheat with things like those. I believe you took the phrase ‘taking a hand’ a little too literally, Nakamori-keibu, that stone included. And too much of that isn’t the best, all said.”
