Meet the person my sister likes.
Feeling the almost non-existent pressure on her head, Nana gazed at Midori's expression, a sensation in her heart that was hard to describe, whether it was sweetness or bitterness.
Then she nodded and gave a serious "Mm."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Midori finally closed her eyes in relief, falling into bouts of drowsiness once again.
I missed out on an entire ten-plus years.
I missed the lives of the people I care about, for ten whole years.
Fortunately, Midori whispered to herself in her heart: I can still be part of their future lives.
..
Unlike Nana, who wished she could stay by Midori's side all day, every day, Gin rarely visited her former—and for a very long time, her only—friend.
Because Nana could spend day after day by her sister's side, but Gin could not.
Even at this moment, he remains a person of sensitive identity. Not to mention the Black Organization, even the Interpol he once cooperated with and the FBI, to which her roommate belongs, harbor grievances regarding her existence.
The current Time is peaceful, but this peace is nothing more than the calm before the storm.
Even if it is a pool of calm lake water, no one knows what turbulent undercurrents surge beneath the surface.
Moreover—
Gin frowned slightly, her eyes darkening.
This nearly dark gaze caused Haibara Ai, sitting opposite him, to shiver instinctively, her forced composure was marred by a hint of paleness on her face.
The fear from the person opposite snapped Gin out of his thoughts. She cast a cold glance at Haibara Ai, who was sitting together with Miyano Akemi, her expression as indifferent as always.
Miyano Akemi smiled at Gin with a good-natured expression, then took her younger sister's hand, attempting to comfort her.
Upon feeling the coldness in Haibara Ai's palm, Miyano Akemi looked at her sister with unavoidable concern, her gentle gaze silently enveloping her.
This undoubtedly gave Haibara Ai courage.
Regarding Gin, Miyano Shiho's mood used to be complicated.
That man had once taken quite good care of her, to the point that there were even rumors of them within the Black Organization; but the rational girl understood that Gin's gaze was always cold.
She had not been without curiosity.
But for Haibara Ai, the name Gin was almost like the Black Organization—the source of her nightmares and the shadow that hung over her entire life.
She once escaped death at the hands of that man, yet she felt at every moment like a prey or a mouse in Gin's hands. If he wished, he could send his to his death at any time.
That man is far too terrifying.
Deep down, she was still curious about that man. However, the girl, who was as intelligent as ever, was also sufficiently lucid; she forcibly suppressed all her curiosity, as fear and the pressure of survival were enough to make her keep her distance from Gin.
She was the source of nightmares, the synonym for Death, a part of Miyano Shiho's dark past.
Until the Return of Miyano Akemi.
Haibara Ai thanked Gin, thanking him for saving her sister.
But she still could not set her mind at ease regarding Gin.
This was not just because she could not let go of the shadows of the past; more importantly, Gin was a man who could threaten her at any time and anywhere, he was someone who would never show mercy.
Miyano Shiho believed that if one day the existence of the Miyano sisters could provide enough Interest for Gin, that man would certainly not hesitate.
Looking into that man's green eyes, Miyano Shiho felt an almost visceral urge to bolt for the door.
However—
She glanced at Miyano Akemi beside her, then cast a glance at Edogawa Conan, who was observing them from not far away.
Haibara Ai raised her head and said softly to the source of her nightmares, the synonym for fear, a part of Miyano Shiho's Dark past, "What do you want me to do?"
She did not want the person beside her to be dragged into this dispute, but to her helplessness, they had already become involved.
Haibara Ai appeared here today not only because the Miyano sisters owed Gin a favor, but also because she wanted to demonstrate her value to Gin.
—If one day, Gin really intended to use them as bargaining chips to gain interest, then she could only make the cost of those chips a little higher, make that day arrive a little later.
The girl's voice was very soft, with a visible tremor in her voice, her lip color was faintly pale; however, even so, her tone of speech was firm.
Gin gave her an appreciative glance, then pushed a USB drive across the tabletop.
This is part of the APTX4869 research materials." Her voice remained cold as he looked at Haibara Ai's small body with implication: "It should help you escape this predicament more quickly.
However—" A flash of coldness flickered in Gin's green eyes, her tone became peremptory: "After you recover.. I do not want anyone to truly succeed in researching APTX4869.
This kind of nearly taboo solution, while causing some people to avoid it at all costs, also makes another group of people flock to it.
Gin was noncommittal about this.
But he wanted to destroy this solution.
Gin did not offer any further explanation for this.
But he knew that Haibara Ai would agree.
As expected, after a long silence, he received the girl's answer: "I will destroy the information about it."
After a pause, the Girl added one more thing: "I.. won't let anyone else know about this either."
The deal is done.

Author's Note: I read a popular science article about rabbits today.. I'm a bit shocked.
I feel like the biology of rabbits.. ahem, it could be used as subject matter for writing stories.
I don't know why I haven't been able to post new chapters these past few days.. I added another three thousand words to the last chapter because I couldn't post new ones and had to merge them with the old ones.
Everything is fine now; there should be two updates tomorrow to make it up to everyone.

Chapter 202: Chapter 183 "You actually stole my man!"..
The Dawn was glimmering.
Sheila casually watched the Sun rise bit by bit, as the first sun, as red as a red Egg, bloomed with light as Time flies, its originally brilliant yet gentle halo becoming too dazzling to behold in just a few short minutes.
She stood by the window of the living room, pulling back the curtain to quietly watch the scene before her, feeling for a moment that..
A little hungry.
Sheila sighed, dazing off for a while in the villa that was bathed in bright sunlight, then rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fry herself a fried egg.
Self-reliance, living in abundance.
However, before she could even enter the Kitchen, she heard a sound coming from the doorway.
Sheila gave the newcomer a lazy glance, then continued forward in silence, shuffling her slippers.
Heine, who had just walked from the entrance into the living room, looked helpless. She still carried a hint of the chill from the dawn dew, her expression bore the fatigue of someone who had gone without sleep for a night, yet her eyes remained spirited.
What's wrong, really?" Despite his Helplessness, he still had to coax his own sister: "You've been looking unhappy since the day before yesterday.. Who provoked you?
Sheila ignored her, not even granting him an extra glance, only puffing out her cheeks slightly as she passed before Heine, looking clearly like she was throwing a tantrum.
Heine stepped forward, taking her sister's arm to coax her, "At least tell me why you're angry?"
Blue eyes stared straight into Sheila's eyes, her face full of gentleness: "What happened? I'll help you solve it, okay? [male]"
Sheila finally spoke.
She gave a soft "tsk," and then said almost unreasonably, "You're the one who's offending me!"
“..” Heine looked puzzled. "How did I offend you?"
You actually tried to steal my person!" Sheila reached out, pinching her Brother's face tightly, forcing the handsome man into a distorted expression, while complaining, "That's too much!
Heine: "??"
She was completely bewildered, looking at her sister with a confused expression, yet he did not dare to lay a hand on her: "Wait.. what do you mean, stealing someone away? At least let me understand why I'm dying!"
Sheila was resentful, giving Heine an eye roll before releasing her grip and turning to walk away, leaving behind only three words: "Think for yourself!"
Heine was left behind, rubbing her white tender cheek with a look of utter confusion.
..
As noon approached, Nana entered the ward carrying a double-layered insulated bento.
Shiratori Midori was leaning against the headboard, her eyes slightly lowered, lost in thought. Only when she heard the sound of Nana opening the door did she lift her gaze and give Nana a smile.
Nana walked forward a few steps and placed the insulated bento on the bedside table, "I brought some soup and white congee, Sister, please try to eat a little."
She opened the takeout box, a steaming aroma rushed toward her, instantly filling the air with a fresh and sweet scent.
Shiratori Midori glanced sideways at the insulated bento box. Inside the plain white container was thin white congee, clean and simple, without even a single green onion added; on the other side was corn and pork ribs soup, still steaming hot. The soup was cooked thoroughly, presenting a beautiful brownish-white color, with tender pork ribs and solitary corn kernels floating on the surface. The aroma alone was enough to stimulate one's appetite.
