[Conan is on his hands and knees in the lobby.]

[Coughing up blood.]

[And his clothes are pretty much covered in the stuff and there's a gaping hole in his shirt, on both sides. Though his flesh through the hole seems fine.]

Guh... [A few more coughs, the blood coming out significantly less. He sits back, taking deep breathes.] Damn it...Beatrice, that's not pleas...ant... [Oh wait. This isn't the Golden Land. Or the Island.]

....THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME!

Ah.

[Amazing how expressive one sound can be.]

[Silence.]

That would do it. You never fail to get yourself into trouble, tantei-kun.

It sounds like you come from a complicated world.

I kind of expected the possibility, but I thought it was more I tipped my hand too much instead of her thinking she's in love with me...

It's totally insane.

Wish I could help.

[He almost sounded sincere there... if he didn't have his arms still tucked behind his head and that wistful tone lingering in his voice.]

While admirers are great to have, it's always hard to break reality to them without hurting their feelings.

I didn't have to break reality. She knew I wouldn't love her, so decided to just chain me up and torture me.

And her SERVANT was also in love with me and fought back.

And then there was a fight and Erika was really outclassed and Bernkastel doesn't hold back at all... [Yeah, you can see where this is going.]

[Slight turn of his head towards Conan, but not enough to be noticeable much.]

Never knew you were such a lady's man, chibi.

But you need to watch the right ones to charm to avoid situations like that in the future.

[Twitches.] The ones behind the Island have a sick, twisted sense of humor.

[Wide grin. They approached the stairs.]

Sounds like it. Better luck avoiding them next time, or Mouri-san won't be happy with you.

There is a Mouri-san in your world?

.... [Oh, there is a look of dread here.] Yeah. She arrived on the Island a while ago.

Can't even hide this like the Angel incident.

[Kid laughed, followed by a cheeky grin.]

Then really good luck, tantei-kun.

She will give your ardent fans a good fight.

I don't want her anywhere near the witches! [This is a look of horror. Real horror.]

[Sideways glance.]

That bad?

...let me put it this way.

The woman who I believe was mostly likely to have figured out who Toichi was, a woman who I know for a fact knows who I am, who HAS outwitted me even while I was on top of my game... [Which is just terrifying.]

They're on that level of dangerous. Maybe more so because they have very little reason to keep people alive for manipulation purposes.

Tou-- Toichi?!

[Step falters, then it regains as he descends the stairs. Thankfully he didn't roll down them when he tripped.]

... I thought you didn't have Black Organization where you were.

They're not on the Island.

But the Island is like this place. A dimensional nexus. My home has them. That's why I'm three foot tall.

I met Kaito on the Island. The Kid thing came out. Later I started connecting the dots of certain events that were too much to be coincidence. And the woman at the center of all those points is incredibly dangerous. Probably one of the few people who I can say actually terrify me.

And the witches are definitely her level.
