Ran faced Shinichi, eyes glistening with tears. He'd finally come back, had solved the case he'd been working on... And told her everything. About Conan, and the Organization, his secrets laid bare. Now, as he finished his story, Ran sitting quietly, sadly, he had the audacity to speak the words "I'm sorry."

"Don't," Ran finally spoke, her voice thick. "I don't want your apology. I know you're sorry, but you still think what you did was right, don't you? If you were faced with something like this again, you'd do the same thing, wouldn't you?"

Shinichi had nothing to say.
