[The feed comes to life to show a young boy with glasses made dusty by the building he's woken up in. He doesn't particularly seem to care about the dust, though, instead glancing around as though someone might pop out from the shadows any moment.]

Hello?... Um, I'm not sure where I am, but it's really dark and scary and I don't know where my friends went... [He takes his glasses off, wipes them with his shirt and hurriedly returns them to his face.] And nobody else is around! Are we playing a game? It's not a very fun one... I don't like it.

[Tenatively:] Ran-neechan? Kogoro-ojiisan?

[And now he'll leave the Blackberry on video as he waits for someone to fill him in.]

[As much as it's less "the usual smug" and more that he's sort of ... teetering into a special sanity place? There is one of those predatory smiiiiles creeping across his face. The ones that make you wonder if maybe he's the killer after all.]

Oh, I'm sure it'll all make sense soon enough. Still, might want to mind your own reactions; I've heard blackbirds can smell fear, and the ones here seem most unpleasant.

[Plot twist. Hakuba did it.]

[Conan's expression freezes for a split second. Was Hakuba referencing to them? No. No way. He had only met Hakuba that one time, and it couldn't possibly have been enough time for the other to figure out anything...(Unless he'd underestimated the detective's intelligence.) Combined with the hint that there were possibly members of the Organisation wandering about in this place...

Conan smiles again, but it's a lot more strained than before.]

Thanks for the warning, niichan! I'll keep an eye out for any blackbirds!

[Actually there's a mix of that parenthetical note with Options C (He dealt with a previous Conan), D (He also dealt with both Gin and a previous Vermouth), and E (Various conspiracy theories that their canon sorta lends itself to re:just who the Hell Kaitou Kid is dodging where he'd always thought SOMETHING was up) that aren't even on Conan's radar right now.]

That's good to hear. I imagine I should let you go - we should get moving here before They catch up, and you should be keeping an eye out for Heiji; would hate for you to get caught alone in the fog here. [Yes, he did catch that reaction.]

Ah, yeah... Stay safe, niichan.

[SO MUCH SUSPICION.But he wouldn't want you to get hurt, anyways.]

You as well, Edogawa-kun - I look forward to getting a chance to talk to you when things settle down.

[And he's turning the Blackberry off on that possibly ominous note - oh, he has plans.]
