[And then she kind of remembers. Not about her, but--]
Wait--is this how you came to see me before?
...You found something that worked? [She distinctly remembered seeing Shinichi here on Fortuna. For a while at least. If it were permanent, he wouldn't be "Conan" now.
But then again, she wouldn't put it past him to find someone to dress up as him at this point.]
If something happens to me that puts enough stress on my body, sometimes it can overpower the poison for a few hours. The first time it was a bad cold combined with the paikal Hattori brought. Haibara was working on that at home, and had managed to come up with a temporary cure that worked for a little longer. But there is a limit to how many times I can take it. Too many times, and my body will get too used to it for it to work anymore.
It seems whatever the scientists do here to resurrect people was enough to have that effect.
...Ran. You don't need to worry so much. I have a child's body, but my mind is still the same. I've figured out ways of protecting myself.
Like I said, Haibara is working on it at home. If anyone can find a cure, she will. She won't run away now.
...She said she would look into it. I don't know if she will even be able to do anything. And it has only been a few days since she discovered what I was.
[Asking her not to worry is like asking her not to breathe, he knows that by now. She knows he does, so she won't bother saying it. She just sighs and shakes her head.]
We need all the friends we can get here. But with...Haibara [a bit of hesitation here, since she's not even certain it's her real name anymore] working on it back at home and someone else working on it here, I guess that'll have to be enough for now.
...There's precedent. That other people can arrive from a single world.
[He hesitates. He didn't want to make her worry, but now that she knew this much, she had to know the rest. If only to know how to stay away from them.]
The Organization thinks I'm dead. If one of them arrives here and discovers I am not, they will most likely attempt to fix that. And then they will attempt to kill everyone connected to me.
...I know I don't have any right to ask this, after everything. But if anything like that ever happens don't go near them. Don't attract their attention.

[...Not. Exactly what she wanted to hear, but okay. As long as they're on a roll here...
What else hasn't he been telling her?]

Sigh. And the fact that he's still in this body says a lot about that. ie; it's true.]
...There's even less of a chance of us finding it here.

In the end, it would always come back to them, wouldn't it, as long as they're here...? But finally, it seems like she has someone else to blame.]
...Then we need to be more careful. Even if it works, I-I don't want you to hurt yourself or anything.
[No matter how much she wants him back... it's only temporary, anyway, and as he's said, there's a limit.
>She just doesn't like the idea of putting stress on his body. Especially as little as it is.]
We'll... we'll have to wait for a real cure. What did Washu say?

[She frowns, thinking about it. They've been here for this long without them, but she can't convince herself that it wouldn't happen either.
What would they even do, in a situation like that?
She trails off...]
Re: action

They have enough to worry about without people actively wanting them dead. but in the end, he's right.]
...Yeah. [She wouldn't put it above the scientists to pull something like that, just to make their lives that much harder.] I'll remember that.
Re: action

After all they'd put Shinichi through?

...They'd remember my face, right? We're at a disadvantage here. Laying low is probably our best option either way.
[Whether they're here or not.
In otherwise, yes, she was planning on being careful anyway. She needs to prove to him that his trust was not misplaced, after all.]
