Mr. Holmes isn't here any more.

[Conan pauses for a moment, as if he was about to say something else. But really, nothing else needed to be said. Anyone who cared enough to know about Sherlock's whereabouts were smart enough to draw their own conclusions from that.

But on to his other business. Sherlock's disappearance had once again left Conan in the position of being an eight-year-old with no caretaker. Even here he couldn't hold an apartment by himself. Which left him with very few options.]

Is anyone looking for a roommate? I have an apartment, but I don't think I'll be allowed to stay here by myself.

[So maybe she wasn't the only jinx around here. No offense, Conan.]

Sometimes, I wonder if the people who come and go aren't as random as they seem.

...of course, I've never been able to find any evidence to suggest otherwise. But it's a thought that comes to mind every now and again.

You mean you think there's some kind of pattern in who gets brought here? What kind?

[He can't be offended at that. If he had to count up all the times someone had accused him of being cursed... ]

There has to be, right? Just because we haven't figured it out yet...

[She trailed off, pressing her lips together in thought. It wasn't the first time this subject came up, so she knew how to answer his question. Just not how precisely to phrase it.]

I think...based on my experience...it has something to do with the people who are already here. The people who are chosen next. Maybe not so much that they come from the same world--nobody from mine's ever showed up, as far as I know--but...also as far as I know, we've always managed to make some kinds of connection with others.
