Shared the following message below:

I had a few questions to ask, if anyone can help:

1. Has it ever happened before that someone hasn’t completely Awakened? I mean . . . they remember some of their memories, but not all of them, and they never made a pact and never had anything appear like everyone else?

Is there a way to get them to Awaken completely?

2. Has anyone seen someone named Shinichi? He's been on the app before. I don’t know how to contact him otherwise. I don’t even know who he’s supposed to be in this place. He told me a few days ago he’d talk to me, and he left the app abruptly, and I haven’t seen him since. Is there a way to find out where he is?

(Shinichi, if you see this, you’d better say something!! You’re making me worried.)

3. Not quite as serious, but still important –- I need a place to practice karate. I guess I never learned it here, but if things are going to happen like that last battle, I need to make sure I practice and keep getting better. Does anyone else practice too? Having a partner –- or partners –- would be good!

Thank you!

[ Heiji checked the application frequently for a variety of reasons. His peers could be rather loose when it came to information regarding their situation overall. It was a good way to pull some details that would otherwise be difficult to seek. Secondly, it was a measure to see where the others stood in their complications and allowed him to get a vague idea of how they were as people, and even what their objectives were. Heiji had every reason to check on the application, so when this came up, a part of him sunk. It was expected, and Heiji knew Ran was going to seek answers eventually, but he didn't think it would be this soon.

The detective wasn't sure how to address this. Like Kudo, he really didn't want her to worry (reminiscing feels aside), but on the other hand, if they spoke too in depth then it would be an application-wide problem and not just theirs. Because there were people who would want to help and there were proactive people that supported others.

Heiji stared at the message for what felt like an eternity before buckling down and typing up a response. ]

Even the participants before us haven't been 'awakened' that much longer. I don't know if the answers you're looking for have been found out yet.

[ The fact of the matter was Heiji knew Conan was Kudo and he knew about the increased secrecy on how it was carried on the application. Heiji wasn't in a position where he could share that information, though. ]

[Unfortunately, Ran isn't going to make this any less complicated for the detectives. It'll only get worse.]

[Meanwhile, there are things she needs to talk to Heiji about -- a lot that they've left unspoken in between them. Though she feels some of the weight of that, that'll be for private conversation, and for now she lets it sit.]

We have to try, though, right? It feels like something must have gone wrong for Conan-kun. It's good that he remembers us, but we can't leave him that way. He doesn't even remember his family. I know he says it's okay, but . . . it's really not. How could it be?

Come to think of it, do you know if he's ever even been on this app?

[ To think this wasn't even the worst of it, either. There was still room for more things to go wrong, and neither of the detectives had preemptive measures set aside. ]

I've been working on it ever since we awoke.

[ Heiji ponders for a brief moment on how to respond to the second part. ]

He's the youngest participant of the application that I'm aware of and his technology use is minimal. Mostly for games.

[He has? Why hasn't he mentioned it?]

What have you done so far? I'd like to help.

[Conan is her little brother figure, after all. She can't -- and won't -- just sit by the sidelines.]

So you're saying he is on this app? Why haven't I ever seen him say anything?

[He's Conan, after all. Always full of questions, getting into the middle of everything. All of this is one big mystery; she could never see him opting out of it.]
