[After her run-in with Shinichi's ghost, Aoko can be found in the first floor infirmary, going through the cabinets slowly. The sleeves of her sweater are rolled up to reveal a series of small cuts decorating her lower arm. They aren't bad enough to be alarming, but they do warrant some attention.

Oh, and she's mumbling shakily to herself]A ghost

Comments

[just_dont_look]

Oh, they're real. Trust me.

[She's just here to get something for the headache she's gotten herself helping said ghost.]

[tocatch_a_thief]

[The voice doesn't startled Aoko as much as the response to her mumblings does, and she glances over at Kauzha with a few confused blinks]

... ah... are you talking about the same ghost I am?

[just_dont_look]

Probably. You talking about the one with the bullet holes in the gut or the one in the head?

[tocatch_a_thief]

There are two? [Aoko was sure she had only met one. Then again, she never saw him...]

I don't know. I never saw him.

It was Shinichi Kudo-kun's ghost.

[just_dont_look]

I actually think there's three, but I haven't seen the third for myself. [Only felt a third chill she didn't recognize. Always just on the edge of wherever they were.]

That would be the head one then. He's....hurt right now.

[tocatch_a_thief]

[three ghosts... just what Aoko needed. Not only was her logic completely thrown out the window by they're very existence, but she was scared of them. And she hated being scared]

Is he okay? I had to leave before I could make sure he wouldn't hurt anyone else.

[just_dont_look]

He's...he'll be okay. In a while. I've got stuff set up for him to calm down. He just needs time.

[tocatch_a_thief]

Oh... I'm glad.

[she smiled weakly, and then was suddenly struck with recognition]

Oh! Are you Toyama-san, Hattori-kun's friend?

[just_dont_look]

[Offers her a weak smile.] You get used to the weird. I think... [She still wasn't, but she was good at hiding her freak out. After all, SHE was the one who saw these things since she was a kid.]

Eh? [Looks surprised.] You know Heiji?

[tocatch_a_thief]

[Aoko nods]

Mm-hm! I met him at the Detective Koshien. The fake TV show, remember? You were there to pick us all up.

[a small part of Aoko sunk in disappointment at Kazuha's reaction. Did this girl not remember meeting her either...?]

[just_dont_look]

[Frowns.]

But...there was only one girl there. She was the murderer. And she didn't look like you.

[tocatch_a_thief]

That's because I wasn't the murderer! And I was definitely there!

[She frowned as well]

[just_dont_look]

No, you weren't. It was Hakuba-san, Heiji, the fake director, the caretaker guy, and the girl who murdered the other detective.

[tocatch_a_thief]

Are you saying I'm lying about being there?

[just_dont_look]

I'm saying you weren't in my world.

[tocatch_a_thief]

You actually believe that?
