[And there's a Kazuha, standing in the hall, having opened the door to what SHOULD have been her bedroom, only to find it was really leading into a hallway that CERTAINLY wasn't in her house.]

What in the...? [She looked back, seeing an empty study behind her.]

...eh? [And have a very confused Kazuha.]

[....]

[Oddly, she's in a black dress suit, complete with black ribbon.]

So, you haven't tried to kill me yet...

[...That puts some things in an entirely new light.]

And why would I do something stupid like that in unfamiliar territory without knowing yet if I had a reason to?

[She's toying with her keys absent mindedly with one hand, where they're visible; enough to notice a Porsche key on the keyrings.] It has been a while since that trip to the amusement park, you know; quite a lot can happen.

Because if you were an Organization spy, ya would because I wouldn't tell ya absolutely anything without confirmation ya were really Haibara.

And you're not pryin' enough to be tryin' to do that, so either ya realize I'm useless and would try, or yer really Haibara.

But it's good to get confirmation.

...or is it you don't ahve to worry as you've got Gin's car key as a trophy at them being taken down?

There's no such thing as "not having to worry", and I'm not about to go into exactly how I have this - it does make a good warning, though. But the Organization has taken quite a few major blows where I'm from, and you might want to consider that I might not be the same one you're used to.

[She's now smiling very pointily.]
I should thank you for tipping your hand; where I'm from, Toyama had no connection to them.

I heard enough to be mostly sure ya weren't one of their spies, which would mean all this is true, or yer playin' a REALLY extensive prank on me, and it might be of value ta me and everyone back home if it's true ya are grown up to get more information about them.

And of course she's connected. She's a target just by being connected to everyone. I guess Heiji never got hit hard enough for her to stop missin' what was in front of her face.

I'm not stupid, ya know? I just didn't think Heiji would be stupid enough ta hide somethin' that big from me. [Scoffs.] And for my protection...ya and Kudo practically had a fit when he told ya I found out.

Well, that definitely makes it different versions of events.

She did stop missing what was going on - by that point we had a little much going on to have the energy to waste on being angry about that, and it was a little hard to miss if you were someone around us.

So she only noticed after things got really rough, huh?

Tell me Ran-chan knows somethin'. It's cruel, leavin' her out of all of that. Still tryin' to convinc Kudo to tell her. Half tempted to do it myself if I didn't know she'd want it from him.

Something like that. After a point, things went downhill fast, and I think Toyama had caught on there was something major going on long before it got obvious.

[Paaause...and a short, cut-off laugh.] Ran-san was one of the first to find out - Something had gone wrong, Kudo was half-dead and out of it, she drug him out of it before everything collapsed on top of him, he babbled and said more than enough to make it impossible to backpedal out of.

.... [And there's an uncomfortable look on her face before she looked away.] Ah, so it really was somethin' like that.

I had yelled at Heiji, demandin' why he went in somewhere with a bomb. Found out he was tryin' to save one of those people that had been set up for execution when he couldn't think of a lie to tell me. Though that was three days later.

Ahou, could have said he just knew someone was in there, but with how much he slipped about Kudo, he really never got used to it.
