Shinichi bites back his immediate response and immediately squashed down all of his feelings of hurt and frustration. Time enough to deal with that later,and it was all his own fault anyway. If Ran never forgave him.... Well that was more than her right, wasn't it?

"What I am trying to say is that if you need time to deal with this, then you have it. I'll leave you alone. If you need an exit from this, if you never want to see me again, if you want to talk... You can have that too."

He shudders and draws back, making an attempt at rubbing his hands to keep warm.

"I want to help you, but I don't know what you want."
