He saw two figures approaching from ahead; he braced himself.

It never dried. Not really. The water on him never dried, his drenched clothes never seized dripping water. And he was so, so cold.
                          
Hakuba walked through what seemed like a dungeon.
                          
A dungeon with no apparent end.
                          
~~~~~~~~~~
                          
It was all because he had closed his eyes.
                          
Kaito had walked behind Hakuba, Ray behind him, for a while, until simply, he just shut his eyes and breathed a sigh of anxiety.
                          
Then, gone. The two of them. No longer there. Not in existence. He didn't panic, not really, because he knew that this was all fake. It was all for show. Something like this was bound to happen soon. But how? How did they do it?
                          
He hadn't bothered thinking to answer that, because just then, a gust of wind had hit him and he toppled backwards with such force he nearly fell. What the-
                          
A note fell from the sky.
                          
Follow the wind. ~
                          
The wind blow more strongly, so he stood up and let it hit his back, guiding him. He had followed the wind and then there he was. In the middle of the labyrinth.
                          
And he wasn't alone.

"It's not real, right? Tell me it's not real!" Kazuha was screaming, shouting, bouncing. "Tell me-"
                          
"It's not real. It's not real, okay? It can't be-" Heiji began but was cut off.
                          
"I think it is," Shinichi.
                          
"W-what-," Kazuha trembled.
                          
"The area we're in... the walls are sound proof," he walked, and knocked on them for effect, "the floor is heat resistant,"
                          
"So someone is-" Heiji breathed.
                          
"Trying to get rid of us? Perhaps . Maybe they'll come in after we're dead and-"
                          
"Kudo," hissed Heiji, upon witnessing the look on Kazuha's face.
                          
Shinichi looked at Kazuha's terrified face and halted in his speech.
                          
"There's a way out," Shinichi said just then.
                          
Kazuha's face brightened, "Really, where? How?"
                          
Shinichi smiled, "Remember those guides Sonoko-neecha...ah.. Sonoko, talked about when we were coming in here?"
                          
"Yeah," both Heiji and Kazuha replied.
                          
"There's two of them in here."

"Are you going to keep ogling at me like that or are you going to help?"
                          
He stared.
                          
"Stop staring."
                          
...
                          
"Stop staring!"
                          
...
                          
"Kuroba-"
                          
"Oh, god, Shiho-"
                          
"It's Miyano-"
                          
"I don't care-"
                          
"Well, you should-"
                          
"Will you be quiet so I can get you out of these ropes?"
                          
"No, not after what you did, I don't trust-"
