I'm certain of it, but what their motives are aren't the immediate issue. If I can figure out how they're making these bodies disappear and reappear, those scientists could be cracked wide open.
((his expression is dark enough. He's already made a few guesses as to what's happening.))
Ah, I suppose this is a little too heavy for long-time-no-see chats. I'm hardly in the mood for this anyway. How have you been?

That'll be difficult, though, with the weather being how it is. All this thick fog...
[It's enough to choke on. It would be difficult to search for clues--she remembers Heiji and Conan discussing this. But her eyes brighten a bit when he asks her how she's doing.
Because to be honest, she'd only been thinking of everyone else.]
A-and I've been...well, you know. All right, considering we're still stuck in this place.
[Or so she thinks. She doesn't wanna talk about herself much though, so she hopes to keep the conversation going both ways.]
H-How about you, Clive? Have you made many friends?

I.. keep to myself, though I have met many... charming individuals since my arrival. Some better than others, including yourself. ((A light, friendly smile.))

A-awww. How sweet of you to say so.
[Such a gentleman. She's lucky to have his company at a time like this.]
I suppose not everyone can keep such a positive outlook in place like this...but I always try my best.
[Like any place, there are individuals you'd definitely want to shy away from...
Ran is also lucky she hasn't really had a run-in with any of them yet.]

((Clive sighs.)) If only more of us expressed your ideology. Discedo might be a more tolerable place.

Ran lets out a chuckle at that. There's a whole grocery list of things that would improve this place, it seems. She wonders if they should start focusing on that, rather than trying to get out.]
...Thank you, Clive. The idea of me making even just a bit of difference somewhere like this...it really means a lot to me.
[Even if it was not his intention--]
You've...really made me feel better tonight.

It's part of being a gentleman, Ran, think nothing of it.

[Something about that sounds familiar.]
I think Luke's mentioned something like that.
[Seems he's still trying to be one~]

Mmhmm! That's his name.

You look a bit like him, now that I think about it.
[...about as much as Conan looks like Shinichi.]

Surprised a second, using the time to think of a decent response, Clive reacts then with a frown.))
Oh, you think so? I wouldn't have made that deduction, but I'm not one to judge.

[...She looks at him again for a few more seconds--suddenly not feeling so sure.]
Well, I suppose it has been a while since I've seen him. [...headscratch, who knows.] I wonder how he's been.

She knows that a lot of things have been happening. Conan had been replaced with that strange clone, and she knows that Luke was not completely invulnerable to it.
Maybe...
Maybe he--]
...Have you seen him recently?
