The rhythmic beeping of the monitor could be heard outside the door. The only kind of sound that faintly resonated through the quiet halls. It was morning. Around about 10am. The weather looked pretty decent. A few rays of sunshine seeping through the glass...

"KUDOU!"

The silence of the hospital was shattered by the sound of footsteps accompanied by an echoing yell. The thudding grew louder and louder, until they eventually stopped when reaching room 910. Not a second after, the door was violently thrown open, revealing a shady looking figure.

Black suit, teal coloured tie, fairly dark skin, burn scars frame their left side... Notable scars here and there.

Shinichi sat in his bed, a pillow behind his back. Facing the window with a smile of pure innocence. He doesn't seem too startled by the teen trudging over.

"KUDOU."

Paikaru was certain that he had killed the Kudou Shinichi. The great Detective of the East, the great Heisei Holmes... So why is he alive !?

Shinichi finally averts his gaze once feeling two hands, firmly gripping his shoulders. Before he could muster a greeting, he got pulled inwards, nose almost touching the stranger's.

"Why are ya alive !?"

A strange accent. He must be foreign or from a different area.

"Ye're supposed ta be dead!"

Paikaru violently shook Shinichi, in a severe state of disbelief. It was then that Shinichi reacted, eyes widening as each shake became exaggerated.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?"
