[Confused a moment. Until it hits him... His scars. They're pretty hideous, he keeps covered in general for a reason. And Kida hasn't seen them. And probably the bullet wound doesn't help either. And Mikado has to close his eyes, frowning before he looks at Kida again.]

Do you think you're some kind of superhero, that you can do everything? I'm not... I was never a damsel you needed to protect, either. I always thought you were dead and I missed you, but I was glad too that you didn't have to go through some of the things... I guess you did in the end, and I hate that.

But you know you saved me too? Even if you didn't know it or mean to, knowing about Lucky gave me a lot of courage and hope. And I think you know hope's not that easy to come by when you think it's all lost.

It's funny but when I missed you a lot, I was also thinking of you. I just didn't know it.
