[Ran is in Conan's vacant bedroom. Where there was once a sleeping 10-year-old there's now rumpled sheets. His glasses are gone, his sneakers no where to be found--and the angle of the feed keeps changing as Ran continues to pace frantically around the room.]

He's not here!

Is he awake?! Has anyone seen Conan-kun?! [Trying not to cry. Ran can't cry. There has to be an explanation! It wasn't unusual for Conan to run off without telling her, but...]

Shinichi..! [Her voice cracked, the tears welling quite obviously now.] Is Conan-kun with you?!

Please!! I don't know--he wasn't moving before! Do you think he could have snuck out somehow?

[kid_in_disguise]

No, I would like to think he'd at least tell someone.

Ah-I'll come by to get you and we can ask around together, okay?

[oneechan]

Okay...[Ran was doing her best to keep a stiff upper-lip, but standing around and searching aimlessly was beginning to wear on her.] Please hurry?

[ Give him about ten minutes and he's coming through the front door looking a little exhausted but alert and ready to go. ]

[Ran doesn't waste time in running towards Shinichi, stopping short of being entirely in his arms. As much as she wants to hold him and cry, it wasn't too late! Maybe if they went now, they could find him!]

Let's go! [She seized his wrist in one of her hands, turning him back around to head back out the door.]

[ kljsadfkljsalkdfj And he thought Conan was hard to keep up with! He'll just allow himself to be dragged as he attempts to get a better balance. ]

[Of course, Ran didn't go far before realizing she had no idea where to start. Where were Conan's favorite spots? Where could he possibly be stuck in?]

Bugs-san said he hadn't seen him, so the forest's out...

[ Once he has time to think Kaito tried to think of all the places he frequented to clear his head and then tried to think of places the detective would go. ]

I didn't see him around the fountain. Maybe we should try the library?

[oneechan]

[The library!] Of course! [Why hadn't she thought of that?!] Shinichi, you are a genius!
