L: Oh, interesting. A group for detectives.

Shinichi: Huh? Another detective? This should be interesting.

Kogami: Never thought I'd be in a group chat like this. What's the topic here? Cases? Crimes?

L: Most likely. Though I assume we all have different styles of investigation.

Shinichi: Yeah, you could say that. I'm Shinichi Kudo, high school detective. Who are you?

L: I'm known as L. I specialize in solving high-profile cases, anonymously.

Kogami: I'm Kogami Shinya. I work in a system that judges people based on their potential to commit crimes. I deal with the worst of society.

Shinichi: Judging people before they even commit a crime? That's kind of extreme, don't you think?

Kogami: It's the world I live in. Criminal intent is just as dangerous as the crime itself.

L: An intriguing concept. Crime prevention on a pre-emptive scale. It makes sense if your goal is to reduce suffering.

Shinichi: I get that, but I believe in finding the truth after a crime happens. Innocent until proven guilty, right? You can't punish people just for thinking about crime.

Kogami: In my world, hesitation leads to more bloodshed. Sometimes you can't afford to wait until the crime happens.

L: I agree with Shinichi to an extent. Solving the mystery after the fact reveals a deeper truth, but Kogami's world has a brutal efficiency. Both approaches have merit, depending on the situation.

Shinichi: Well, I prefer chasing clues and solving mysteries the traditional way. But hey, I've seen my fair share of strange cases.

Kogami: Traditional, huh? I deal with a different kind of criminal—people who can hide their intent until the last second. It's not always so clear-cut.

L: Criminals can be unpredictable, but I've found that patterns and logic lead to the solution more often than not. Human nature, after all, is very consistent.

Shinichi: Yeah, true. It's the unexpected moments that challenge us the most. Like when the people you trust end up involved in crimes.

Kogami: Trust? That's rare in my line of work. Most people I deal with are broken, beyond redemption.

L: Cynical, but perhaps true in your world. Still, people can surprise you, both in their good and bad qualities.

Shinichi: You're right about that. You never know what kind of person someone truly is until the truth comes out.

Kogami: I've seen too much darkness to believe in surprises. I focus on getting the job done, no matter the cost.

L: A pragmatic approach. Efficiency over ethics. But what do you think, Shinichi? How do you balance finding the truth with protecting others?

Shinichi: It's hard. Sometimes you want to protect people from the truth, but in the end, they deserve to know it. No matter how painful it might be.

L: Well said. That's why we investigate—to uncover what lies hidden beneath the surface, even if it's not what we expected.

Kogami: Guess we're all chasing different forms of justice. But in the end, it comes down to making sure the right people pay for their actions.

Shinichi: Justice, huh? It's what drives us all, I guess. No matter how different our methods are.

L: Justice is subjective, shaped by the world we live in. But the pursuit of truth—that's universal.

Kogami: Truth, justice… they're two sides of the same coin.

Shinichi: Yeah. And it's our job to keep flipping that coin until we find the answer.

L: Agreed. It's the nature of being a detective. No matter how deep the darkness, we search for the light.

Kogami: Well, this was enlightening. But I've got work to do. Stay sharp out there, detectives.

Kogami has left the chat.

Shinichi: Yeah, me too. A new case is waiting.

Shinichi has left the chat.

L: It seems the chase never ends.
