Ran was gone.

And he couldn't follow.  He was still trapped here, in a bubble under the ocean where nothing made any sense.  Protected from the ocean by a device that seemed to defy the laws of physics.  Trapped here with only an annoying rival of a thief for company.

What should he do now?

For once the detective didn't have an answer.

And so he had left the house early and found an isolated corner of the park.  He had always done his best thinking while kicking around a soccerball.  And today he had a lot of thinking to do.   And other things to deliberately not think about.

I should...

Either way, what are you doing here? [And then she eyes the ball] Oh! I never learned how to play soccer before!

[deductiongeek]

...I'm thinking. [And not brooding over Ran's disappearance at all.]

Oh? [He kicks the ball up into the air and bounces it off his knee.] It's my favorite game!

[needsmoregreen]

About what?

[And then there was a giggle] Can you teach me how?

[deductiongeek]

Lots of things. [His tone is evasive. This was the last thing Shinichi wanted to talk to a stranger about.]

I could, if you really want to.

[needsmoregreen]

Oh...okay then. [And Bianca takes the hint and doesn't question it any further]

Could you? I really want to learn how!

[deductiongeek]

Have you ever played before?

[needsmoregreen]

I did once when I was a kid but um...[mumble mumble] I kept falling down a lot.

[deductiongeek]

Maybe you should start with drills, then.

[needsmoregreen]

Drills? What kind of drills?
