[There's a slight hiss as a pressurized door opens automatically, and Haibara Ai steps into the dressing room, more interested in the clipboard of notes she is carrying than her destination -- though that quickly changes as she glances up and realises this is not her lab. She turns back but the door behind her is now an ordinary wooden door, and opens into a bedroom hardly distinguishable from any other in the mansion. Haibara's reaction shares something in common with certain other new arrivals -- as does her outfit, futuristic in the manner of seventies B-movies.]

Interesting.

Happy to be of service.

Oh, speaking of names, I've got another common alias down! Haibara Ai isn't your real name.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Isn't it?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Uh, uh, not gonna fall for it. I figured it out after talking to the tall you.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

The ghost?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] But it's kind of weird to think of you as dead...

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

You're telling me.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah...especially when she's like... [Trails off.]

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow raise.]

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Sad. Hurt. She was...distorted. Losing her humanity.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

-- ah.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

I kind of got worried. Since she was still so much like you. I think maybe she was close to how you were when we first met.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Something that happened so long ago? I'm surprised you remember.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

I try to remember as much as I can about you, Conan-kun, and Kaito. There'll be weeks I just write down all I remember to make sure it's still there.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't have thought you'd have a problem remembering Kaito.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, he is easiest to remember.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

He certainly stands out.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

All three of you do. You're all...really amazing, even before the immortal thing.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

Is it the nostalgic nature of the place making you sentimental, Aoko-san? Or did something happen?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

[Silent for a few moments.] This place is...new. So new. And there are people here and supposedly people we know and don't...

And I wonder...if I'll meet those people who faces have started to blur...

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

[Silent, considering this.]

If we do -- will they even be ours?

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

...would we even be able to tell, if they weren't?

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

There is that.

[eternal-mopgirl.livejournal.com]

You and Conan-kun would be easier if it's been a few years with no change. I don't think Kaito and I told anyone for at least...I wanna say five year.

[eternal-snark.livejournal.com]

I suppose we shall find out soon enough.
