Hopeless
(or: No way back)
The young student detective looked sadly at the sea. He was sitting on the beach, counting seconds. Tried to stop time, but it kept going. The surf played around his feet, the sea in front of him had a slight shimmer of red because of the evening sun. He sighed as he thought about the words of his friends: "Take a vacation!" They had said. "Drive away and try to forget ..." Forgot? How could he forget? He couldn't forget anything. Nothing of the terrible event. Only what had happened since then was only veiled in his mind. How much time had passed? He did not know. What had he done since then? He had no answer to that. Another sigh broke the sound of the waves and the light breeze that blew on the beach.Although it was slowly freshening up, he sat still and watched the sun. More and more of her sank into the sea. She went under ... Whenever the last rays of the sun fought against the surface of the sea, his chest tightened. // The sun is going to lose the fight ... Just like you lost it // then it shot around in his head. And it was precisely this thought that made it so difficult for him to accept the situation. It didn't work, he didn't want to and couldn't. It was like a protective mechanism. If he let go, he would forget her. Her and his feelings ... He wanted to hold onto her forever. Never forget ... He owed her. "Ran", the 18-year-old, brown-haired boy mumbled and got up after the first stars appeared and were reflected on the surface of the sea. Despite the fresh wind, he walked slowly back to the hotel. It was pointless - and it would remain pointless. Again he heard his desperate calls back then on the way there: "RAN… RRRRAAAAAANNNN", but then, just as now, she had not answered.[i]The sun is so low
and it no longer falls.
The name i called
you haven't heard for a long time.
The thoughts bind me.
It stopped before it started.
When he got to the hotel he collapsed on the bed, exhausted. Exhausted, desperate ... He knew it would come again tonight. He would have to go through it again. The one evening, the terrible night and the morning when his previous goals in life disappeared ... All he had to do was fall asleep and they would come back. The images that would most likely follow him for the rest of his life. Nobody understood him. Not his parents, let alone the professor. He could also forget about Heiji and Shiho, his closest friends. And Kogoro had enough to do with processing what had happened. Nobody understood what was going on inside him. Nobody knew the real reason for the misfortune. Just himself ... A few single tears found their way down his cheeks.It didn't help - the tears didn't free him. They only made it worse. Final! // I'm so sorry Ran! // Shinichi thought before slowly falling asleep. Sleep was very restless ...

He is back!
- Tokyo -
He was missing for over a year and no one knew exactly where Japan's greatest hope in the field of forensics was. Now, after exactly 403 days, he has reappeared. Japan's number 1 student detective Shinichi Kudo.
As reported by our newspaper, the Japanese police, in cooperation with the FBI, succeeded in destroying a criminal organization. The so-called "black organization". In the meantime, it turned out that the 17-year-old detective contributed a large part to this. According to unconfirmed reports, the young man was said to have been on the trail of the criminal gang for over a year before he was finally able to use his collection of evidence and his talent for combination to give the police enough clues to destroy the organization, whose headquarters were in Tokyo.Shinichi Kudo's only comment was: "It was a lot of work and cost me a lot of effort. I had to give up a lot for it." He did not want to tell our reporters how exactly the young master detective was able to get the information from the mysterious organization. Furthermore, it is a mystery why the young detective had to go into hiding because of the investigation and was even pronounced dead.
What will he do now? Will he take his place as Tokyo's master detective again and thus drive Kogoro Mori from his undisputed top spot? For sure. In the meantime, nothing more is heard from the once sleeping master detective. It seems like Kogoro Mori has given up the detective trade.
We are definitely looking forward to welcoming our figurehead back to the city.

Shinichi Kudo had read such nonsensical articles often enough in the past week.The same speculations over and over again. Where was he last year? What did he do? What contribution had he made to the capture of the black organization? He couldn't hear the questions anymore. He also didn't want to see any reporters who intercepted him on the way to school asking him the same questions over and over again. He didn't want to answer that. "Don't worry, Kudo! At some point, at the latest when I've solved a big case again, interest in you drops again!", Heiji Hattori laughed on the phone yesterday when Shinichi told him about the reporters who no longer spoke about wanted to let him go. It was meant nicely, but what use was Heiji in Osaka. After all, the Tokyo journalists, not Osaka, besieged him. Well, of course there were nationally known reporters among them. But as long as no new big story loomed up, he would have to continue to suffer and see how his private life was treated in public."Not that that's enough!" Said Ran and put another article in front of him. It was from one of the most famous newspapers in all of Japan. The local edition of the "Hope" newspaper. You could not take everything that this newspaper reported, but very many Japanese read the newspaper (a similar phenomenon to the "Bild" newspaper ^^). "I'm getting enough!", She said with an angry undertone in her voice, which the student detective understood immediately when he noticed the headline of the article. To be more precise. The article was on the front page. There was a picture of him right next to the large "Hope" logo. On the left, same height, was a picture of Ran. The more he read of the text, the more the young man could have sunk into his chair. Where was the one, please, who would pinch him so that he could finally wake up from this nightmare….

He had awakened from that nightmare and immediately plunged into a much worse one.He woke up briefly. Bathed in sweat, he was still in his clothes on the bed. // Calm down Shinichi ... Nothing has happened yet! // he said to himself and straightened up. A quick glance at the clock told him that it was now three o'clock in the morning. Zero o'clock and he felt like he hadn't slept at all. In the meantime he found no rest in sleep. He knew that, and despite everything, he wanted to go back to sleep every evening. Spend the last happy hours with Ran. Again and again ... Everwinder. He undressed briefly and took a sip of water. A little wistfully he went back to bed, covered himself up and waited. Waiting to fall asleep again and sink back into the dream world. To be able to spend time with Ran again….

Wasn't it enough that they dealt with his private life? They also had to involve Ran. "I'll tell you one more time: YOU MAKE ME THE MOST OF JAPAN!", The initial calm in the karate master's voice quickly faded and the last words she had screamed out angrily. He himself was still staring at the article. He wasn’t lied, but she didn’t know anything about his feelings. He didn't want to tell her until tonight. I wanted to confess to her that she made his heart beat faster. That she was the reason he was sometimes unable to concentrate in class. Just because he kept looking at her. He knew about her feelings. When he was Conan she had confided in him her feelings for Shinichi.Now it was his turn. Tonight he wanted to tell her everything, not until tonight. How the newspaper had come up with this news was a mystery to him. However, he first had to appease his beloved. "Ran ...", he started and immediately got a bad look. "We should laugh about it, don't you think?" He grinned cheekily as the words left his mouth. "You must be crazy!" Said the 17-year-old student while giving him a head-butt. "You may not care, but I don't. After all, there is a photo of me", Shinichi already noticed that Ran was just getting started ... "A photo of me, with a fictional story ... AVAILABLE IN JAPAN NEWSPAPER! ”The young detective sank a little more into his chair. “AND YOU SAY WE SHOULD LAUGH ABOUT IT?” Well, at first he couldn't think of anything better. Maybe tonight she would understand why he wanted to laugh about it. Maybe ... "Well then, don't!"he replied defiantly and could have slapped himself for the inappropriate tone in his voice." I can't figure you out Shinichi! ", Ran said softly and looked at him sadly. The look pierced him and he felt his heart contract. He wanted to apologize immediately, but his dry throat would not allow this. // You have to stay calm! // , the thought helped him to shake his head briefly and to regain his composure. "I'm sorry Ran," he finally managed. The addressed just sighed and said, "As always, stop! "before she turned away from
