Memories That Cannot Be Stolen
by One Begonia
About This Novel
Known as the "Magician under the Moonlight," Kaito Kidd can elegantly steal the most precious gems in the world and return them intact overnight. He plays with people's hearts, turning time and truth into magic tricks. But no one knows that the first and most complete "failure" in his life occurred in the summer when he was three years old. In 1980, Kuroba Kaito met a special boy - Kirishima Sakuya. He is like a silent library. He has "hyperamnesia" and can remember the patterns of every fallen leaf, but he is trapped in an isolated island of autism and cannot easily talk to others. In that summer when the cicadas were noisy, Kaito became the only one who could understand his silent language. They shared a tacit understanding without words, until winter came and the night disappeared like snow melting. Perhaps he stole the gems in order to find the legendary "Stone of Life"; his pursuit of ultimate perfection and control may be because he once watched a perfect and unique memory completely disappear from his fingers. He can make pigeons fly all over the sky and buildings disappear out of thin air, but he can never steal that summer back, nor can he steal time to prevent the snow from falling at the beginning of the new year. This is the first and final secret behind the legend of Kaitou Kidd: all his magic is to complete an unannounced and grand tribute to a figure in his memory. Some existences are so dazzling that even death cannot erase them; some memories are so heavy that even the best thieves cannot steal them away.
