I couldn't believe it.

The antidote that I always dreamed of...

It was finally complete, and it was right in front of my eyes.

"This antidote...

When exactly did you finish making this?"

This question startled Haibara and made her feel guilty.

But she responded calmly.

"I can't remember the exact date...

But it was little over a month ago."

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?

"But that was..."

"That proposal back in our school...

'Am I dreaming right now?'

I couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth.

"After hearing your confession in that rainy night at the hospital, I've been thinking continuously for several days...
