8th theory of everything ♫ video

[todayitwasyou]

[ Today's video feed seems to be planned very carefully for once. The camera is positioned a little bit away from Kotomi, enough to show off her standing there. She's holding her violin in her hands -- if you know what this means, you know it's Bad News and you should turn off your communicator as soon as possible

[Luke was surprised--how did she even get a violin here?--but thought it was very nice of her to offer to play some music to try and cheer everyone up. That was very nice of her...and then she actually started to play the instrument. If there was one instrument that sounded almost intolerably bad when played poorly it was the violin. On the other hand a gentleman would never criticize a lady, even if that piece was almost painful to listen to. So, after a moment's hesitation:]

T-that was very nice of you, Miss Kotomi-chan, to play your violin for everyone.

[todayitwasyou]

Ah.. Thank you very much.

[ She actually does seem very genuinely happy, a smile appearing on her face again. ]

I just thought it was nice if my music could cheer people up a little bit.

[Video] OH GOD I JUST PLAYED THAT CLIP

[luke_triton]

[Be careful to not say anything mean or even any semblance of unfriendly. She was being nice, even if she wasn't very good.]

How long have you been playing the violin for?

[Video] AHAHA, ISN'T IT TERRIBLE..

[todayitwasyou]

I've already been playing ever since I was a little girl.. My parents told me it was good to know how to play an instrument, and I really liked the violin.

[ She points to herself. ]

There's even an instrument in my name. The first part of Kotomi is 'koto', as in harp.

[Switching to text like a boss]

How long have you studied this?

[todayitwasyou]

Do you mean this song? I've been working on it for a while now.

[rules_the_north]

Playing the violin.

[todayitwasyou]

I've been playing the violin since I was very young.. it's one of my hobbies.

[...OH.

SHE'S CRINGING BUT...she still must give Kotomi praise!]

A-Ah...that was...really nice, Kotomi-chan.

[ NAGISA IS TOO NICE.. ]

Ah.. Do you really think so, Nagisa-chan? [ Just look at how happy that makes her. Completely oblivious. ] I'm glad..

[dangotastical]

[SHE REALLY IS...]

Mm. I think so! [Smile, smile.] You put on a nice concert for Discedo.

[ WHAT WOULD KOTOMI DO WITHOUT HER.. ]

It wasn't as formal as last time, but.. my feelings still came from my heart. [ what sort of feelings were that supposed to be, Kotomi.. ]

[Conan briefly wonders if this is how everyone else feels during his turns at karaoke.]

Ahlele? I didn't know there were any instruments here.

[todayitwasyou]

I don't think there are many instruments out there.. I haven't seen any others.

[ A slight curious headtilt. ]

[modernholmes]

Ah, is that so?

[todayitwasyou]

Hmm, I don't hear people make a lot of music here either.. It's a little sad. Music has many useful qualities.

[linesight]

... Please don't never do that again.

[todayitwasyou]

... Is something wrong..?

[ Yes, she honestly doesn't get it. And it shows in the somewhat clueless expression on her face. ]

[linesight]

That was absolutely terrible.

[todayitwasyou]

What was? [ Blink. ] Did something bad happen?
