[It's late at night that the video feed opens. The thief is there, not remembering proper camera etiquette again, with a finger held up to his smiling lips. "Be quiet," he seems to be asking. Not that it would save him.
While he's requesting quiet, he himself is haphazardly humming a soft, haunting melody, the title of which he will swear to the day that he dies that he doesn't know. For a man who hasn't spoken to God in years, his humming is strangely reverent.
The viewers soon realize why.
The thief removes himself from the video feed, presenting a scale replica of a cathedral that some may recognize as the forever incomplete Sagrada Familia, the magnum opus of the deceased architect, Gaudi. Done up entirely in matchsticks and glue, and delicately standing on the coffee table in front of Lupin's zebra print sofa, it is but a faint echo of the original's majesty.
Astute observers will notice something different about it--it doesn't look as incomplete as it is in real life. The thief comes back into view, smiling.
There are secrets lingering just beneath the surface of his gaze. He will say nothing that will indicate what, though.]
Beautiful, isn't it. Been feeling a little nostalgic, for some reason. I thought the Old Man would appreciate it.
