[HIATUS] The Scarlet Memories [Detective Conan OC] (English)

Chapter 28

- Honestly, I think it would be better if you never remember your past.

- Huh? Wh- Why?!

- You're not ready to stand your past, that's all...

- A-And how could you know-

- Why did you run away the other night?

- ...Well, I...

- You couldn't stand the fact that you potentially killed someone, did you?

- ... Maybe subconsciously I knew who Hiro-nii was...

- So you're going to tell me that the sight of death doesn't bother you now? While you passed out earlier?

- So what? I would rather know even if it hurts me rather than live forever in ignorance!

- And what will you do if you regret? Perhaps this is your chance to start over your life as you see fit without being held back by your past ... I won't tell you anything anyway until you consider this possibility.

I don't answer.

He might be right... Just a few days ago, I was desperate to escape my past... So why seek it now? On the other hand, can I really live without remembering anything...?

After a long silence, he takes the floor again.

- I didn't try to sound mean, but the only informations I can give you about your past is far from happy... It took Hiro fifteen years to move on...

Fifteen ? Could this be the famous night that Hiro-nii mentioned in his album?

- If after thinking I still decide that I want to know, will you tell me what you know...?

His gaze softened. And he responds with a smile.

- Only if you can convince me.

The rest of the ride passes without much talking. I ended up putting on some music and taking some pictures of the landscape.

Once in Tokyo, Zero receives a call. From the way he talks, I think he's talking to someone in the organization. I don't really listen and look out the window.

- Yes, I had retrieved her from the hospital to avoid the problem you had with Kir. But she ran away before I could speak to her.

I turn to him.

Is he talking about me?

- Do you know why Gin has- ...Huh? But why would she...? ...I see... She didn't succeed, Sherry was alone in the Wagon. ...Okay, I'll keep you informed.

He hangs up and sighs.

- You really have no luck...
