[That's... both expected and unexpected. The Kenji he knew was more perceptive than he let on, but would also be more likely to just accept that Atsushi just gets mad when he fights.]
[But as if on cue-- a memory starts up behind him. The ADA office looks... well, like a bomb went off, or something. Bullet holes in the walls, desks and things overturned. But everyone is just casually cleaning up like it's no big deal. Except Ranpo, who is very obviously just getting snacks. "Ah, Kenji-kun? Can you fix this shelf for me? It's in my way."]
[There is no reason he can't just walk around the shelf. But Kenji, with bright eyes and an even brighter smile, looks happy to help. "Sure thing, Ranpo-san!"]
[And with one hand, he lifts the entire bookshelf, and sets it upright against the wall again. With all the books were still in it. "Hmm, was that where it was...?"]
["Ahh, no, it was on this side, right?" And now the whole shelf is being lifted. Books and all. It bumps a light near the ceiling as he proceeds to carry it to the other side of the office, dropping it back down in the right place with a loud sound. No one bats an eye.]
He looks like a sweet kid. [Atsushi's immediately taken by him, as all people should be.] His Ability is either Night on the Galactic Railroad or - no, if it's super strength, it's Undefeated by the Rain, right?
Good thing boys that age are practically always hungry.
My Miyazawa is a children's literature writer, so he manifested as a child himself.
[The scene shifts to the library, where an even younger boy with a starry cloak bounds up to Atsushi. He presents Atsushi with an apple, and Atsushi smiles and takes off his hat so that he can ruffle his hair.]
I think all authors are sort of stuck one way or another, based on what they're most famous for. The children's literature authors don't have the worst of it.

I tried to keep it a secret... But some of them figured out early. Edogawa and Miyazawa realized first.
...By now everyone besides Yoshikawa has realized, though.

He has super strength and is practically invulnerable-- but only when he's hungry.

[Since Robert Louis Stevenson might be an actual person in BSD for all we know?? naturally the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde reference is lost on him.]
no subject
It did give us a nice boa.
no subject
I guess that makes sense? I don't really get literature that much... unless they're mystery novels.
[Sorry ur husband is book dumb.]
no subject
It's okay. I'll be literature nerd enough for both of us.
[He scritches behind Ranpo's ears affectionately.]
no subject
[Time to lean into them!!]
[...]
[And then grabbing Tiger's hand and putting it behind his other ear. Demanding catboy wants the double scritch.]

You're adorable.

[Cue Ranpo purring loud enough that they can probably hear it all the way out in the lobby--]
[But oh, hey, they never turned off the vr memory machine, did they?]
[Which means they're now getting a recreation of one of the many time they've all fucked in VR.]
no subject
Do I really look like that when we're together...?
You've seen me. We don't look that different.
no subject
[Like, he knew this was true, but hearing it for himself paints a different picture than just knowing it as established fact.]
[Can he take screenshots in here? He's taking screenshots in here.]

[Tail wags]
Well-- I'm only loud because you two are good at making me loud!
no subject
I bet I can make him louder than you can, Atsushi.
[why you gotta be so competitive, tiger]
no subject
Hmm, maybe we should test that?
no subject
We should test it to be sure.
O... okay.
