Shortly after the events of [[Case 4 Kamuidrome|case#04 Kamuidrome]] Sumio is still incarcerated due to the events of [[Case 3 Parade|case#03 Parade]]. While incarcerated he is interviewed by [[Sakura Natsume]] as part of her training. During their first interview Sumio showed himself to be cold, emotionless and unhelpful. Initially Sakura attempts to ask him about his crimes but he rebukes her arguing that analyzing the past is pointless in the context of investigating heinous crimes. He ascertains that searching for meaning in all things is an incorrect method of investigation much to Sakura's annoyance. Once Sakura mentioned [[Tetsugoro Kusabi]] however, his demeanor changed completely to something resembling his older 'self'. Sakura soon asks Sumio why a seasoned and respected detective would commit a crime like he did. Sakura tells Sumio that she believes crime is something that needs to be eradicated however Sumio argues that an inability to connect with your own inner darkness makes it impossible to understand the nature of crime and how crimes are committed.
