[It seems the dressing room is adding to its collection of Rans. What makes this one interesting? Well, let's see...

She evidently hasn't been taking very good care of herself, for starters. She's thin enough for it to be unhealthy, and her eyes are dull and tired-looking. Her clothes are rather plain and neutral, not the bright colours she usually favours, and her hair is suffering the same neglect. Her reactions seem to be affected as well. It takes her a moment to even realize that she's not where she's supposed to be, and it's with more surprise than anything else]

W-where... is this...?

[That's cause he hasn't had to hide around his Ran in a long time and it's hard to start up again.]

Don't lie. I know that look you have.

...I'm all right, Conan-kun.

Ran. [And there's that serious look, even if it's incredibly sad. He walks over, taking one of her hands in his own.]

Please...don't lie to me. I'm not your Conan, but I know...I know that look too well.

I... I'm not lying.

Maybe you're not as bad as you have been, after it first happen...but you're not all right.

[He never was.]

Shinichi...is gone in your world...right?

[stillpushingon.livejournal.com]

...Yes.



Are... you really Conan-kun?

....I made a promise never to lie to you again, Ran. And honestly, I don't think I can anymore after that.

So don't ask anything unless you want the answer, no matter what it could possibly be.

[Squeezes her hand gently.]

Just know I care about you...and I want to help you.

[stillpushingon.livejournal.com]

I... thank you.

After what?

[only-1-truth.livejournal.com]

After I made that promise.

[stillpushingon.livejournal.com]

...What do you mean 'again'?

[only-1-truth.livejournal.com]

I lied to my Ran. Then I told her the truth and she got mad and said she didn't want me to lie again.

[stillpushingon.livejournal.com]

What did you lie to her about?

[only-1-truth.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter. I know it's different in your world and it will just cause confusion in your heart.

[stillpushingon.livejournal.com]

...How different?

I almost got eaten by a beetle that was bigger than a house and we're supposed to help save the world via the power of our emotions. [Let's just go for the insanity. It made things easier. Even if that was the Digital World, but that didn't have to be explained now.]

[stillpushingon.livejournal.com]

...Uh-huh.

[only-1-truth.livejournal.com]

Oi, I have physical evidence that happened....
