Naoto nodded along to the girl. “It reminds me of something my grandfather used to tell me. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I truly hope that I’m proven wrong and that The Phantom Thieves continue to only go after those that deserve it.” Then again it’s hard to deny the similarities between these few cases of people changing their hearts and the disasters that had occurred not too long ago with people suddenly losing their mind.

Naoto smiled at the young girl when she introduced herself. “It’s a pleasure to meet you officially then. Thank you for answering my questions, I apologize if perhaps I got a little too serious.” She could recall Rise telling her often that she had a habit of being too serious at times. “My name is Naoto Shirogane.” She said holding her hand out for the other girl. 

Naoto’s name was more known than her face, she so rarely did interviews that hardly anyone would recognize the first Detective Prince by image alone. Although with Akechi Goro being in the news so much lately her name had been coming up more often than it usually would.

Kasumi nodded as the other was right about that fact... Hopefully they will able to tread down the righteous path and not allow the power that they discovered corrupted them. She didn’t want to become the villain... She wanted to remain as a hidden hero that help people by changing corrupted hearts and removing distorted desires from people.

“It’s no problem.” She replied with a smile as she honestly didn’t mind the questions at all. After all, it allow her to see what people’s opinions were on them before blinking.

Naoto Shirogane.... Where she heard that name before? Kasumi thought for a brief moment before realizing where she heard the name as a surprised expression came to her face. 

She was talking to the first Detective Prince without even realizing it!  Even though the other rarely appeared on the television especially with Akechi appearing often on the news; the thief was a fan of both of them.

“Oh! I didn’t realize you were.... Ah... It’s a pleasure to meet you, Naoto-san. I’m a fan of your work.” She shake the other’s hand.

As much Kasumi was happy to meet the first Detective Prince; she couldn’t help but be a bit worried as she didn’t know what would happen if Naoto were to discover that she was a member of the Phantom Thief.

“And I’ll keep Morgana from noticing anything. Don’t want to ruin the surprise after all.“ One would question who secretly plans to dress up a cat. All they would have to do is look at this pair of twins. Since they was both enjoying this way too much.

“That would be amazing and yeah... I mean I’m sure Morgana would suspect something given the chance.” She replied, looking forward to their plans of dressing up the cat. It was really obvious that they were going to some satisfaction with their plans.

“I send you a text when I’m done, alright?”

Naoto nodded at Kasumi’s words, she had a feeling the girl liked them more than she let on. Her words seemed to give off that impression at least. She could understand why they were so well liked. However, that didn’t change the fact that it could be deadly if they were to turn sides.

“The issue with the wait and see method is that if we’re proven wrong and they do something then someone innocent could have gotten hurt. Although, I also think we shouldn’t treat them like they’ve already done something wrong.” She said sighing. 

“I know my words must seem very confusing, but in truth, I am conflicted about my opinion on the Phantom Thieves. I can see all the good they could do but also all the bad if they’re left unchecked.” She said looking at the other girl. Naoto was honestly conflicted.

“I can see why they’re liked and why they’re hated because no one knows how they can do what they do that fear makes people angry which in turn makes them hate those responsible for that fear.” Humanity hated what they couldn’t understand, it was the way the world worked. 

She smiled at the poor girl when she realized how depressing she must have sounded. “I apologize we don’t really know each other and here I am talking about human nature.”

Kasumi bite her lip as she could understand the other’s concerns on the matter. She knew how much power they had with them able to change anyone’s heart to the point where she hoped that same power wouldn’t go to their head and corrupt their morals.

She didn’t want to be like the corrupted adults.

“Yeah... You’re right... Fear does a lot especially when it’s the fear of the unknown... Hopefully these thieves won’t do anything bad...” She mumbled whilst looking away. She didn’t care if the people didn’t like them or not. All she she hoped they didn’t screw up and hurt a innocent person... Kasumi also hoped that her brother... 

The leader wouldn’t lead them down a dark path. 

“Oh! It’s alright! It’s honestly really interesting... Speaking of which, you can call me Kasumi considering we haven’t introduce ourselves.”
