Shinichi's POV

I am at the hospital. Miyano-san had been hit near the heart and now she is in a critical condition. Why? Miyano-san, nande? Why did you take the bullet for me? I should be the one lying there helplessly! Not you! Mou…

Third Person's POV

~ A few days later ~

"The patient has regained consciousness," the doctor stated, "but she is in a very critical condition."

"Can I visit her?" Shinichi asked, hoping.

"Yes." The doctor replied, nodding.

~ Shiho's Room ~

"Ku-Kudo-kun? Why are you here?" Shiho said in a faint but surprised voice.

"Duh? To visit you of course!" Shinichi exclaimed, grinning cheekily.

Shiho was so pale; she was white as a cloud.

Then Shiho felt an abrupt pain near her chest. She put her hands on her chest, slightly whimpering.

"Shiho! Hang on! I'll call a doctor immediately!" Shinichi rushed, panicking, "and sorry for using your first name!"

She can't help but smile weakly. Then everything went blurry. She just saw Shinichi with some doctors rushing to her. Then everything went blank.

~A few hours later~

Why do I care so much for her? Could it be…? Nah! Couldn't be! Shinichi thought, shaking his head in denial.

"How is Miyano-san?" Shinichi asked the doctor, eyebrows knotted with worry.

"She's awake, you can visit her but," the doctor trailed off, hesitating.

"But she may not live for long..."

Shinichi glanced at his watch. 5:10, Shinichi thought

"Kudo-kun?" Shiho asked, unsure.

"Yah! It's me!" Shinichi replied, cheekily smiling even though his eyes weren't.

Shinichi glanced around her room. He saw an answering machine and a chess set. Then he suddenly remembered something.

"Remember the first case that happened after I met you?" Shinichi asked.

~ Flashback ~

She took a chess piece and put it right on top of the answering machine.

"Checkmate."

~ End of Flashback ~

"You better thank me, 'cause without me you wouldn't have solved the case, Kudo." Her eyes were amused.

"Fine, fine! Thank you! And you remember the case at the theater?"

"Huh?"

"It's when we were at the girls' CR?"

"I really don't remember…"

"It's when I asked you to change places with me but you slept on me?"

"Ah, that... Of course, I will never forget your act of perverseness... Ahem, comfort room, ahem. "

~ Flashback ~

"Oh? You don't mind it?" She asked.

"Huh?"

"It depresses me every time I see my face." She looked at the mirror, smiling wryly.

"Who are you really?"

"Baka. It's because of the drug you created."

Yeah, I feel sorry for myself. This mirror only shows reflection. It cannot show you the truth. In justice, you force people to lose hope. While this mirror only shows reflection. It cannot show you the truth." He stared at the mirror for a moment. Then it hit him.

"Arigatou, Haibara!"

~ End of Flashback ~

"And thank me for that too." Shiho said.

"Fine. Thank. You." Shinichi said.

I will not be afraid to tell him! I must face it! Shiho thought, determined.

"I guess I'll be going now." Shinichi said, scared of not seeing her eyes open, scared of her dying.

"Chotto! I got to say something to you." Shiho called out uncharacteristically.

"What is it?" Shinichi asked, rushing.

"Daisuki da y- Ahhh!" Shiho said but was cut of by the pain in her chest.

~ A few minutes later ~

Why must you die, Shiho? At the exact time of 5:15 you died. If it weren't for me. Shinichi thought, face aghast.

He buried his face on his hands, quietly sobbing.
