[After a few moments of recorded silence, Minato appeared on screen. He was in his room as evidenced by the background. The only difference was that there were few, small, blue cards strewn on the floor, some face down with this image, and all those that were face up with this imageAnd behind him, protruding from the wall, was a nondescript sword

Those are interesting cards.

They're tarot cards. Do you know about them, Edogawa-kun?
Reply
Oh, tarot cards. That's why they had Roman numerals on them.
Do you use them, Arisato-san?
Reply
Right. There are 22 cards of the Major Arcana.
In a way. But not much on divining the future.

What do use it for then?
Reply
They're all of Death. Except the one on the wall.
Each card is related to someone by personality or their circumstances. [Basically. That was one use. Sort of.]
Reply
That's an unique way of using it.

Mn. In this case, the Fool is both the suspect and the intended victim.
[He nodded.] Each card represents one's journey in life.
[Since he did go to summer school after all and learned this, Minato explained the Major Arcana here for Conan. It is explained so much better in the game than I can paraphrase, hence the link!]

Are you the Fool, Arisato-san?
[ ho snap tarot classes. lol as I listen I feel sad that this is good review. ODD UNNECESSARY RESEARCH ON TAROT CARDS PROVE HANDY? idk, but Conan probably only knows basic things. he's...not a very supernatural-istic person ]
That's interesting. I didn't know all the meanings to the cards. You're very knowledgeable. [ a smile before going back to his thoughts ]
The beginning and possibilities. Transition... spiritual death?

... Yes. In this situation, I am.
[I have a save file stopped right before this video so I can watch it again for review too. XD It's handy! It may come in so if there's a case involving them. He understood that Conan believed in science much more than the supernatural, and was more patient and willing to explain.]
Thank you... It took me some time to understand them too.
[Minato paused for a moment, letting Conan finish his thoughts.]
... I can explain more. But perhaps in person would be best.

It probably helps Minato that Conan was a good listener and quick to take things in ]
That might be smart. Are you free at the moment?
Reply
Minato was glad that Conan was indeed a good listener, and had enough of an open mind to take in information and scrutinize it later instead of rejecting it straight out.]
Mn, a little. But not for long. I'm planning to visit the other side soon.
... But you have my word. After the event is over. [He made his promise to Conan to tell him more about Tarot cards and his world.]
Reply
I was planning on visiting later on too, since it seems like a rare chance.
Alright, Arisato-san.
Reply
I agree. There may be clues to discover there that may lead to a way out.
Thank you, Edogawa-kun.
Reply
Besides... There's something new to explore, it would be a waste to not see it. [ oh yes, he was a very. very curious child ]
Reply
Yes. We may understand more about the mirrors and their motives, what they want or intend to do. [Minato could definitely appreciate that about the detective.]
Have you heard anything about your mirror before?
