I have this joke with my sister, a whole AU, if you will, where Ran realizes that every time Shinichi appears for a very brief time, he'll always clutch at his chest, looking very much in pain, before disappearing again. She assumes that he's got some disease, consults google and then Araide-sensei about it, gets some theory ("Maybe it's a heart disease, Ran-san") and then resolves to becoming a doctor to cure Shinichi.

She doesn't tell Conan-kun her theory about Shinichi's heart problem because Conan-kun idolizes Shinichi a lot and he would be sad if he finds out that his idol might be terminally ill. She doesn't confront Shinichi because he's clearly trying to not make her sad and she doesn't want him to worry about her. She does tell Sonoko and then Kazuha during their girl talk. She also tells them that she plans to become a doctor. When Shinichi gets cured, he'd still need a doctor to check his health, right? And if he isn't cured yet by the time she's become a doctor, she'll just cure him herself! (They don't talk about the possibility of Shinichi dying in the next years but the idea hung heavily in the air.)

Sonoko is sympathetic and promises her a scholarship from the Suzuki corporation. Kazuha remembers Heiji's weird words about Kudo; "if they (Shinichi and Ran) can't meet then she's better off not knowing that he was here." She promises Ran to badger Heiji about Kudo because he clearly knows something.

Since Ran is determined to help Shinichi ASAP, but she's also just 17, she starts an informal apprenticeship with Araide-sensei, probably working as his clerk or something but he is teaching her what he can. This new schedule, coupled with Sonoko shipping Ran with Araide-sensei before, made Shinichi's jealous streak flare up. (lol) He complains to Hattori about it and Hattori complains to him about Kazuha's new found determination to stalk him.

(this AU would change Ran's behavior a little)

As an aspiring doctor, Ran got used to the viscera and gore. If she's the first to discover a murder, the first instinct is no longer to scream but to check if the victim can be saved. Sometimes she's the one who knows something about the death (like, "this coloration can be caused by this kind of poison" or something) giving Shinichi the hint.

She's noticably sadder whenever Shinichi calls but hides that sadness (she savors it like it's their last) she does ask when Shinichi will come home but doesn't plead that he come home sooner, just tells him to take care. (It made Shinichi sad, "maybe she doesn't love me like that anymore." But also kinda happy for her, "if she doesn't love me like that anymore my absence would hurt less")

She's more hurt but also resigned when Shinichi appears briefly and hastily leaves. It hurt knowing (thinking and believing really, lol) that Shinichi is sick but she isn't a doctor YET and Shinichi needs real medical attention. She asks him if he got home safe a few hours after his disappearance.

There could be a lot of drama potential here, like Ran finding out Shinichi's secret because he started getting mini heart attacks during one of his appearances and fainted then Ran tried her best to doctor him. But this is a joke. So.

Kaito is shocked (he doesn't know the Conan is Shinichi secret yet) and the next time he got to talk with Tantei-kun, he asks about Tantei-san's health. Conan is confused. Where in the world did Kaito Kid hear this rumor that he is deathly sick? Why from Mouri-san, of course! She seemed very sad about it.

Ran noticed a pattern: Shinichi is okay for about a day and then his symptoms would appear. Today, Shinichi is very, VERY healthy. Plus, Conan-kun is acting very fidgety around him. This isn't Shinichi, it's Kaito Kid.

When they were alone, she confronted him. During her explanation on how she found out, she lets it slip that Shinichi is sick and wouldn't have been able to stay for 1 whole day.

Everything starts falling into place:

Ran's sudden desire to become a doctor. Her sadness during their phone calls. Her resigned expression when he leaves. She thought he was dying. He needed to resolve this (after frustratedly ranting to Haibara. Haibara points out that he does look like he's having a major heart failure during the shrinking process.)

He tries to tell Ran over the phone (Shinichi is just sparing her feelings). Tried to tell her as Conan ("Of course, Conan-kun, your Shinichi-niichan isn't dying" she said in a tone that's obviously lying. Worse, now even Kogoro thinks he's dying!) He tried to tell Ran as Shinichi (no good. Got pulled into a case, spent the day solving murder, by the time he ready to explain he started having his "major heart failures" and had to run away.)

And then we spend all the 500+ other episodes of detective Conan with this

One more perk for aspiring doctor Ran is drama. There will be times when she gets to the scene and she can still save someone but he ultimately fails. It weighs on her, maybe she could have saved them if she was better. Maybe she wasn't cut for this and she's better at throwing herself in front of danger to prevent someone from getting hurt than addressing the pain. Maybe can't save Shinichi and she's over her head with this delusion that she can cure whatever illness he has. Something something. But I also just think it would be cool if with Shinichi, the grim reaper, the death attractor, there's an angel capable of saving lives.

Love that Amiya's stronghold protocol strategy is "throw operators right on top of enemy units." Really recontextualizes Scout's dying words about how reviving the Doctor was necessary for the survival of Rhodes Island (and thus Theresa's dream) from "Their tactical genius is the only way a small company like ours can survive in this politically fraught hellscape" to "Theresa crowned an 11 year old king and there is only so many 'Go Scout! 1v20! I believe in you!'s I can win"

In case you missed it, I recently made the theme song/boss battle music for Arknights’ new expansion, set in a dystopian Vatican-City type of world.

Their art team absolutely killed it with the release video.

It’s out now on streaming platforms.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
