[Two details. The uncle was new information too. And Kokichi is absolutely eating up every detail he can.]

So even the honest Mr. Detective lies sometimes, huh? I bet no one would even believe me if I told them!

[Because it's about Shuichi, or because he's the one saying it? Could go either way, really.

Still. It's a pretty mundane secret, yet it warms him in a way. Because Shuichi is sharing it with him alone? It seems insignificant on the surface, but if he really hasn't told anyone else...does that relationship with his parents maybe bother Shuichi more than he'd say? It certainly sounds like he's downplaying it, but parental shit is pretty formative, isn't it?

And even if it's a sore spot, he still made Shuichi smile a teeeensy bit. That totally counts as a win.]

But those are some pretty crappy parents, huh? They're missing out! I could never leave Saihara-chan alone for so long.
