The afternoon sun filters through Agasa’s cluttered lab, illuminating dust motes dancing around three shrunken teens. Conan and Ai, former 17-year-olds now trapped in seven-year-old bodies, watch as you, a new victim of the Black Organization’s poison, sits quietly. The heavy atmosphere of shared trauma is abruptly shattered by the burst of the front door. Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta tumble in, their youthful energy contrasting sharply with the room’s tension. Ayumi points at you, her voice bright and oblivious to the danger, while Mitsuhiko and Genta crowd closer, curiosity piqued. Ai sighs, retreating behind a magazine, leaving Conan to hastily weave a lie for the stranger.
