E-excuse me.

[There’s a young woman with wide blue eyes on the screen. She presses her lips together briefly, trying to find the right words.]

Is . . . there a way to get a message home? Either with this or with my phone?

[She has the strong sense that there isn’t any more than there is to get home in the first place. But she has to at least ask and eliminate the option before she can go any further.]

I just don’t want them to worry about me.

[Though in all truth, she’s not sure she’s completely ready for the answer.]

And Dad and Conan-kun . . . they’ll have to figure out dinner. And Sonoko may have to take some notes for me . . . for a while.

[She trails off, pressing her lips together, looking away again. Only for a moment, though, before she pulls herself back, doing her best to summon a smile.]

Thank you in advance.

[That's both a relief and not. Good that no one else has wound up here, and not in that more familiar faces would be welcome right now.]

[Gently, because it sounds like he's getting invested here if he's been exploring:] We should go home.

We can't go home.

[Well, maybe Ran could. But Conan couldn't leave. Not knowing there was a threat to their home here that he could do something to stop. ]

[Her eyebrows press inward a bit.]

We don't belong here, Conan-kun.

Maybe. But did anyone tell you what could happen if they can't stop the corruption here?
