Summary: Like beads of various materials, colours, and sizes, our impressions and beliefs are strung together by the invisible thread of destiny…
A/N: I didn't want to post anything new before finishing "Ghost at Twilight", but this plunny has been so annoyingly persistent that I finally decided to get rid of it by posting the beginning (and committing myself to continuing it so that it will stop pestering me).

Inspired by Fruttero&Lucentini's Il Colore del Destino, which Haibara discovered in an antiquarian bookshop and which can be literally translated as The Colour of Destiny or The Colour of Fate, Shinichi has decided to follow the colour he believes to be the colour of destiny for a whole day, abandoning himself to Fate to see in which direction it will lead him. He likes the ending of the story so much that he hopes to re-enact it in real life: after a day of roaming the city and its vicinity to chase fate, Shinichi will find himself in front of his childhood friend, who will get off the red bullet train wearing her new burgundy dress. He will hand her the bouquet of red camellias, and the two of them will walk off into the sunset together to live happily ever after.
Even the colour of the book cover seems to him a pointer of Fate: the colour of destiny in the story was lilac, but the previous owner of the book ("Tomoe", according to the Kanji on the front page) had wrapped it into a soft, luxurious paper of a dark, muted red colour which Haibara likened to blood. "For you," she said when she handed him the worn book, which was supposed to aid him in his quest of mastering Italian. "It's not an Italian corpse, but it will serve the purpose until you come across a real one!"
