[ He can't be bothered to type today, he's speeding right on through his homework ]

Okay, I'll compromise. I'll go to school everyday of the week except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's fair, right?

[ Because those are the days music class happens and he refuses to make fool of himself with lack of any kind of music ability whatsoever. ]

what's the point in learning if you can't distinguish the difference between two notes.

[ Why do people keep telling him this? Why can't he just learn everything from a book? ]

I deal with people everyday anyways, how is that any different?

It may be useful for a case, one day. What if a murder leaves you clues with the music?

[ come on, she's right, you know it. ]

How often do you deal with people your age?

Well... maybe.

[ Funnily enough, in the future he does run across such a case. ]

Not that often, though I do have a best friend that's my age. She's not here.

Everything is worth knowing, if only for a moment.

[ or at least, that's her philosophy. she has a feeling that arguments about 'culture' will fall upon deaf ears here. ]

Interacting with your age group is important; you'll get to know them, their likes and their dislikes. You might even find work of your own, among them. [ and because she's not overtly terrible: ] You could try and make friends here.

No way, I don't want to look for lost cats or sit through conversations about cartoons.

Start your own conversations, then.

...That doesn't usually go over well. Most of them don't even know what a mystery is.

And you can't be bothered to explain?

I've tried but somehow that reminds them of what Kamen Yaiba did on the last episode.

You're a bit of a snob, aren't you?

Huh?

A snob.

[ this is so endlessly amusing. ]

Do you truly think you're so much better than them?

[ Yes. ]

I'm way smarter and more mature than they are-and that's the truth, that doesn't make me a snob.

They can tell you feel that way. At any age, we're quite adept at picking up on the emotions of others; especially if you treat them poorly or like imbeciles.

[ rude, shinichi, rude. ]

You're intelligent and mature; that may be true and those facts alone don't make you a snob. The way you treat others does.

The kids at teitan elementary don't seem to notice. But I'm not really close to them.

Why not?

I don't know, I only talk to them at school.

You might try talking to them out of school.

I'd rather stay in and read.

[ bless you, she's just the same. ]

People are important, regardless of how tedious you find them now. Learning how to interact with them, whether you like them or not - especially if you don't is a necessary skill.

Well, some of them are on my soccer team. That should be good enough

Are you sure?

[ ... ]

...Shouldn't it?

It seems to me to be a lot to risk on something you aren't one hundred percent sure of.

You're the adult. You should know better than I do.
