Question: What do you do when you get to the end of your mystery book and you can't understand what the fuck they mean when they explain the trick room that was used to steal the painting?

Answer: Decide it's not your fault their explanation is opaque, because it's in writing, and possibly because it's in Japanese, and make up your own.

I LIVE SIDE BY SIDE WITH DANGER. (Sniffle.)

YOU LIVE ON THE EDGE!

And, apparently, feel like Windows? I'm betting that's a feeling of general dread and anxiety.

Also, I'm so dangerous, I BRUSH MY TEETH WITH VANILLA MINT TOOTHPASTE. (The normal stuff is just too strong! D:)

Oooh, I can't stand that vanilla mint toothpaste. You do not mix sweet and mint and toothpaste. I don't care if it's endorsed by Emeril, my mouth just can't feel the love!

Oh god, it's endorsed by Emeril? ...does anybody want a mostly unused tube of Vanilla Mint toothpaste?

Actually, it tastes more mint than vanilla, so it doesn't really accomplish what I bought it for---that is, to not kill me with EXTREEM MINT DEATHCLEAN GODTEETH.

Yep, it is. There was an advertising campaign for whatever type of toothpaste that is (there was a series of them, I remember: citrus, lemon, vanilla mint, and cinnamon), which involved Emeril standing in a bathroom, brushing his teeth in the middle of the night, having a BAM!gasm and waking everyone up.

It has that hint of vanilla in it, though. DEATHCLEAN GODTEETH ARE SO COOL, THOUGH!

Now that I think about it...it sounds like the name of a band...

Mine is Colgate, and I'm not sure there was a lemon-flavored toothpaste, there, so maybe Emeril is advertising a different brand with another vanilla mint flavor. See, I don't really like DEATHCLEAN GODTEETH because mint toothpaste hurts my mouth X_x so now I'm wondering where I could get lemon toothpaste...

DID SOMEONE SAY FREE TOOTHPASTE?!

What?! Why? ...this reminds me, I forgot to brush my teeth last night...

I occasionally make up the explanations in Conan, when the real ones are silly. Or wonder why the criminal went through so many machiavellian schemes when really, it would have been easier to just push the victim off a cliff and be done with it.

Thankfully, when I got to the end of this story, the bad guys were doing it for a decent reason. But yeah, I was forced to skip over the explanation for how the trick room worked because IT WAS STUPID. *is still frustrated* I had problems with the criminal being an insufferable show-off, too, but maybe that's a kaitou thing.
