I'm sure he relished being able to pass on what he'd learned to you, then. [Since her mother, from the sound of it, hadn't really cared much about it.

She swirls the tea again before sipping it.]
I'm not sure that there's much of a difference between the two, to be honest. When I was young, I would always... try to emulate my grandfather, wherever I could. I would dress up in his old clothes, despite them being far too big for me. I would endlessly review his old case files-- it was all so fascinating for me.

[She says, with a nostalgic smile on her face.] From there, you could say I fell in love with the idea of being a detective as much as the reality. Of solving mysteries, of catching criminals. I read so many novels... [Oops, she's being frank again.]

--that is to say, it wasn't exactly a conscious decision to live up to the Shirogane name at first, but I likely wouldn't have fallen into the profession were my grandfather not the one who had raised me.
