Ran's usual morning jog took a little detour today. Instead of a refreshed and uplifted expression on the Japanese girl's face, her features were sharpened with a subdued rage. She breathed steady, channeling the negative energy into her legs, pushing off each step as her sneakers hit the pavement.

Beads of sweat ran down her face as she veered off her usual path and towards the forest, she she continued forward until, without warning--

"HaaAAAAAAAAHHHH!" A fierce scream pierced the peaceful morning, followed by a deafening crack as her foot connected with a tree mid-trunk. Her leg still raised, fists tightly clenched, Ran panted heavily, her bangs matted against her dewy forehead. She drew back her leg slowly. "Stupid...SHINICHI!!!" She punctuated her cry with a punch, followed by a roundhouse kick.

Stepping back, she let out a sigh, leaving the poor tree still standing, but with a sizable crevice now indented into its surface. Pushing back her damp bangs with the back of her hand, she smiled. "Well! That felt better!"

"Same to you, Cielo-san! Hope to run into you again sometime!" Ran brightly smiled and offered a wave. "Say--" She began to jog in place as she prepared to run off. "What do you do around here, anyway? Seeing as you're out here all by yourself."

"My friend and I live on the edge of the forest. I like to patrol around the area sometimes," he answered. There was close to zero reason to do so, but scout instincts don't die that easily. "Just look around, ja? It's very pretty."

"Oh, I agree!" Ran shrugs her shoulders. "It's amazing the scenery of this place, when you consider..." She drifts off. Considering they're in a bubble, after all.

But still, Shinichi was here, as was Conan-kun. As long as they were safe, they would manage, right?

"It's much nicer here than where I come from," Cielo said. "So I don't mind this place." Aside from the lack of his comrades, there was pretty much no area where Vatheon was not an improvement. "Hey, don't you have to go back home?"

"Oh! Right! I'm going to be late!" She turned on her heel and waved behind her, calling out. "Have a good one, Cielo-san!"
