[Time for Kim to go back to school to become a clinical psychologist since King Enma said he's not a detective anymore!!!
In any case, Fukuda hesitates, because he doesn't typically explain what he means, partly because he doesn't like talking about his mental illness and partly because people haven't really been asking him follow up questions when he talks about how the hole helped him. Mostly they react like they don't believe him or think he's crazy. But Kim's being very kind. Maybe he won't think less of Fukuda for being mentally ill? Maybe it's ok to tell him.]
... Mm, well... I was actually really good at memorizing, but only with numbers. But I had to count things, all the time, even if I didn't want to. Like... [He looks around and notices a standing display of soda cans in a pyramid, and points at it.] That, I'd have to count those, and I couldn't think about anything else until I did.
[He's still skittish, and doesn't look back at Kim after he's looked away.]
