✰ Yes, Kaito flips her skirt. Yes, it happens often enough that she wears fish-patterned underwear specifically as a countermeasure to get him back for it.
✰ The angry guy was almost definitely yakuza, holy shit.
✰ Jii-chan is a nice man who deserves better, and Aoko is actually 100% in favour of helping Kaito get that cue back.
✰ ... Yeah. Her father is the police inspector in charge of this crime scene, and she totally, absolutely, 100% went behind his back to wear a riot suit for fun.
✰ The translations in this chapter are awkward af, "backhanded" should have been "barehanded".
✰ She was looking for somebody? Waiting for somebody? BUT WHO.
✰ She is very, very, very fast at changing out of riot gear for some reason, and Kenta Connery is a cute kid.
✰ Once again, she's still not getting her name back.
✰ Mostly this is just a fun cute short memory of hanging out with Kaito and touring Ginza to eat sweets. She. She's kind of a black hole. Sweets are just the best okay.
✰ SHOPPIN' WITH KAITO ✰ WALKIN' HOME WITH KAITO ✰ STEPPIN' ON KAITO ✰ BULLYIN' KAITO RELENTLESSLY ✰ That's it, that's the memory. ✰ Offscreen, but included, is Aoko cooking up ALL OF THE STUFF and Kaito lurking over her shoulder, trying to steal bites. She elbows him every single time. ✰ It's clear from the memory that Aoko really loves throwing parties. ✰ She's too distracted by all of the above to notice what's on the television - she has no idea that a Kid heist is coming up.
✰ She ain't ever getting her name back, folks. ✰ The memory includes both getting the charm from Akako the previous day (2nd page) and explaining it all to Kaito. ✰ She 100% believes that the spell will work is 1000% charmed by Akako's concern. ✰ Passive aggression? What's passive aggression?
✰ The gathering mingle. Mops count as weapons, ok. ✰ It's been hours and there's no sign of the mimic. It's getting dark out - good thing Faito brought a flashlight!. ✰ EXCEPT! OH NO! She's the first person the mimic targets. Everyone (including her) is understandable freaked the fuck out by this. She looks to Kaito for reassurance, though he's struggling as much as anyone to tell them apart. ✰ Then someone ATTACKS KAITO AAAAAA??? ... and in the confusion, the mimic switches. It attacks rather than giving up some of its blood, and Aoko shields herself. SO THAT'S WHAT THOSE PENDANTS ARE FOR. From here on out, the battle really begins.
✰ OKAY. SO. That's a lot? That's a lot. This memory does not explain that this is a teamnesia setting - the only hint is the colour-coded uniforms. It also doesn't give the context for exactly why they're doing this, though it's clearly incredibly important. And ofc she's still not getting her name back. ✰ On the bright side, she finally knows what her pendant is for!
✰ She's never ever getting her name back ✰ It's late at night, and for some reason she and Kaito are in school ... alone? Except for SOMEBODY?? It's spooky ok. ✰ The memory starts with her being grabbed from behind by Kaito, and ends up with her passing out from fear after the crazy zombie guy corners her.
+ This memory starts with a phone call from her teammate, Iri. + And then Aoko is in Valhalla, and she's alone. The shreds of paper scattered through the snow sure are disconcertingly familiar - but without the proper memories, all she knows is that something about them fills her with dread and discomfort. She leaves them be and takes a moment to think. If there wasn't a chance that there could be a sphere somewhere around here, she'd leave. She'd leave immediately. + ... But there could be one, and she knows that she's probably the only person in the heart who could safely retrieve it safely. + So she goes on, and she knows that she is so, so, so screwed. The memories she's subjected to won't show up on the screen themselves, just her reactions. She is Not Having Fun. + Just before she meets Agent Washington, there are two phone calls. One, from Kaito, is completely fuzzed out. The other, from Church, can be heard loud and clear. He's a grumpy tsun AI guy and she's not entirely convinced that she isn't about to die. + Then it's time for AN ASSHOLE. + One of the spheres they've been sent to retrieve is right next to him. + They talk, and it's tense. She tries to explain that she only wants to help. But he's been hurt so many times; he doesn't want to trust, he doesn't want her anywhere near him, he is done. + He spells out for her that she could hurt him, because she's close. Because she knows him. The realization shocks her to tears, and she tells him she'd do almost anything to prove that she wouldn't. Almost anything. She won't just leave him, she can't leave the sphere. + "If you think it's so messed up, if you hate yourself so much for it, if you're so scared of how you think it could end, drop the f-fucking gun and don't shoot me, you idiot! If you think you're being so unfair to me, work on being fairer!
Clean up your goddamn act and don't take it out on me!" + In the end, he doesn't shoot her. Oh, no. Instead, he has her take off her scarf (her security blanket), and he shoots it to ribbons before dragging her, by the neck (a trigger; she chokes on panic) to the sphere. He throws her aside the moment she's got it safely in hand. + It's a fun time. So fun. The memory cuts out the moment she uses the teleportation grenade to get the hell out of there.

✰ In the first panel(s), she's holding up a selfie stick. Why? Hell if she knows!
✰ Any instances of Aoko's and Kaito's names are blanked out. She does have Kaitou Kid's tho.
✰ obvs doesn't include the parts she isn't in, but it does have the flashback
✰ Kaitou Kid may or may not have saved her life, is definitely uncomfortably familiar, and she is in denial
2
✰ Any instances of the name "Nakamori Aoko" are blocked out. She gets everyone else's, including Kaito's.
✰ Obvs doesn't have the sections from Akako's perspective
✰ SHE'S DOING HER BEST

✰ She still doesn't get her name back!
✰ Yes, Kaito flips her skirt. Yes, it happens often enough that she wears fish-patterned underwear specifically as a countermeasure to get him back for it.

✰ SHOPPIN' WITH KAITO
✰ WALKIN' HOME WITH KAITO

✰ BULLYIN' KAITO RELENTLESSLY
✰ That's it, that's the memory.

✰ It's a BOSS BATTLE.
✰ Kaito narrowly avoids getting his throat ripped out, and Aoko makes a lasso.
✰ ... and then she gets shot through the shoulder with an arrow. Surprise, that hurts like a motherfucker.
✰ The mimic rips into someone, drinking their blood. She's gonna have nightmares for weeks bUT she gets herself together and casts Haste on Kaito.
✰ A Lot is happening and basically, they're getting their asses handed to them. Aoko teleports to the mimic and tries to stab it right in the goddamn eye with a needle taken from her medkit.
✰ Too bad it doesn't work. The mimic throws someone at her, and ... starts chowing down on them, while she's Way Too Close. It fucking sucks.
✰ THEN IT TURNS INTO KAITO, and almost rips his face off.
✰ With people hurting and probably dying all around her, Aoko pours all of her strength and fury into, uh. Slamming the corner of her heavy medkit into the mimic's neck, all while it still looks like Kaito.
✰ The hit lands, but the mimic's revenge is swift. A broken nose and being thrown at someone leaves her unconscious before she hits the floor ...
✰ OKAY. SO. That's a lot? That's a lot. This memory does not explain that this is a teamnesia setting - the only hint is the colour-coded uniforms.
