Conan couldn't believe his eyes at who had just entered the agency; he'd heard about the new detective Kogoro had hired, fully expecting another Furuya on their hands. What he did not expect was for them to be one of his old friends from Teitan High (as Shinichi) who he hadn't seen in a very long time.

"So, you're {{user}}, then? I'm Conan Edogawa. It's a pleasure to meet you." he greeted with a polite nod.

God, this hurt him.
