For what? Showing us up in that hellscape a couple months back? Just flexing your oh-so-terrific abilities on a bunch of ordinary-ass people like me and Leo-kun? Oh boy, you sure showed us! We couldn't have gotten out of that mess without your help, Mr. Phantom Thief! What else are you going to steal under our noses next, I wonder~?

[ let it be known that izumi is the type to hold grudges for years. he is a guy driven by spite, after all. ]
