[This place.... He recognized it. But how? How could he have been brought here again? And how could he have forgotten it all these months? He takes up the communicator and looks it over skeptically, wondering if the people he had known here before were still here, and switches it over to audio. But before he can say anything the teen detective is overcome by another attack. He clutches at his chest and breathes harshly, staggering over to lean up against a wall.]

[S-so hot. I feel like my bones are melting. Will I really change back now? Will I become Conan again? Now? Without a chance to tell her?]

[Shinichi desperately attempts to formulate a plan through the pain. He couldn't allow himself to change back here. Not where anyone could find him. He would be completely vulnerable after the change. This costume had served him well when he had needed it to hide, but none of his gadgets were with him. He could only think of one desperate course of action. Still clutching at his chest as the waves of pulsing pain swept through his body, he slowly raises the communicator to his face and whispers to it in a voice hoarse and strained by pain.]

Hattori?

[But he can say nothing more as the pain suddenly intensifies and he screams.]

[ooc: Conan has been brought back as Shinichi seconds before turning back into Conan. At about the same time as this clip starts.]

[JUMPS TEN FEET INTO THE AIR WHAT IS THAT SCREAM?!]

...is...that from the communicator?!

[All that can be heard from the communicator now is harsh breathing and occasional gasps of pain.]

H-Hey! Are you alright?! Do you need help?

[Finally he sits up, and knows that he has become Conan again. He starts rolling up the sleeves that now hang several feet past his hands and wipes the sweat off his forehead. And then eyes the communicator with dread. This was going to be difficult.

He carefully switches the communicator to voice. It would be best to avoid any awkward questions about why he was wearing the costume of a Shiragami that had obviously been intended to be worn by an adult.]

There's no need for that! I'm perfectly fine!

...Conan-kun?

Mmm, I'm here again!

HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU'RE ALRIGHT NOW BUT YOU WERE SCREAMING IN AGONY?!

[That's right! Gakupo is not happy with you, young man!]

That's because I saw something really scary!

Oh no no no! That was not a scared scream. Trust me. I know. I also know screams of agony.

Eh? It's possible to do something like that?

It would be illogical for me not to be able to recognize such sounds. On a daily basis back home, I had to distinguish different notes and pitches. Not to mention my family is a bit...odd.

[How he misses them.]

Does that mean you have perfect pitch?

[Now implementing Plan A. Change the subject.]

That's correct.

That's amazing!

So yes, explain just what happened. [Gakupo is a bit stubborn.]

But I already told you that. I saw something really, really scary. So I ran away as fast as I could!

And whatever scared you scampered off minutes later, so you returned?

Oh no! I didn't go back. I ran a really long way, and now I'm hiding in an alley.

[Even if that part may be true, he still doesn't believe the rest.]

That's a bit dangerous, don't you think?

It's okay! Heiji-niichan is coming to help me.

As long as you stay safe, then.
