Your 'Lupin' back home and someone else. [Because all Leblancs had a Lupin in some form or another-surely she had one before they met. He grasps her hand firmly, visibly relaxing for the first time that afternoon. Part of the weight that burdened him was gone, and he wasn't certain how he felt.

The fact that Goldie returned those feelings was enough, even if it could never culminate into anything. Like the relationship between Adele and Lupin.]

He wants to be there like he is for all of his friends, but he's only a man. He can't be everywhere. Please, do us both a favor and learn to defend yourself better. Practice the Makashi, keep that hairpin with you.

...he trusts your intelligence. Don't make him regret it.
