[Scene: A bridge at night; two cars drive up. Out of one car emerges Kokichi; he reaches in and drags out Kaede, who is tied up and gagged. Out of the other emerge Kaito and Shuichi, who slowly approach; Shuichi is carrying a corgi and looks very confused.]
Kaito: Is that the woman?
Shuichi: (*shakes his head*) I don’t know her.
Kaito: Right, but that is a woman.
Shuichi: (*looks at Kaito in confusion*) What are you even talking about??
[Kokichi makes Kaede get on her knees; Kaito and Shuichi stop where they are]
Kokichi: (*pulls out a gun*) Give me the dog…or I’ll kill her!
Kaito: Give us the her…or we’ll throw the dog off the bridge!
Shuichi: (*to Kaito*) What?!
Kaito: (*whispering to Shuichi*) I’m bluffing, but if he shoots her, throw the dog off the bridge.
Kokichi: Why did you attack us?
Kaito: (*confused*) We didn’t! How do you know who we are?
Kokichi: We don’t! (*beat*) Where’s the kitten?
Kaito: Who is that woman?
Kokichi: (*gestures frantically*) You don’t know her?!
Kokichi: Why did you burn my house down?!
Kaito: (*genuinely mystified*) I burned your house down?!
Shuichi: Where’s Himiko?!
Kokichi: She’s…not here! (*gestures with the gun*) Just bring me the dog!
Kaito: Why do you want it?!
Kokichi: Why did you take it?!
Kokichi: Why did you kill Rantaro Amami?!
[Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away, Miu and Keebo are in a police car listening in on the conversation]
Miu: What the hell are they talking about?!
Keebo: (*adjusting his listening device*) Dogs, cats…I don’t know.
Miu: Stupidest goddamn people alive!
