It's so sad! I connected the pieces the second you mentioned 'long silvery hair'. Then I was just thinking, "Oh no. Please no." Then it happened and I got sad. And Ran still doesn't know... Although it did make me sad, I like it.

Thank you for the story! .

Ja ne!

I find this story sad in a way that doesn't leave me depressed. ._.; Well, that's a little confusing, but I really did like it! I think that the way that you showed what was happening over a long period of time in a short period of time (the answer machine) was brilliant!

Realy good! _

wow... did not see that coming

I think this shouldn't be hurt/comfort. I think this should be tragedy/angst. This is a REALLY REALLY GOOD story! Although, does that mean that Sherry is in cahoots with him, Gin? That can't be darn it! She's my MOST fave character! ...sobs... although, really awesome story though! At first I thought it was romance and Shinichi was the one listening to the phone calls but then I wondered about the "scary uncle" that took Conan... It was Gin! I love love love this! You should make a sequel! You are great for a beginner! Did Heiji, Shinichi, Agasa all die?

This fic is so sad! It did evoke strong emotion in me. As soon as I read the part about "Conan's uncle," my heart dropped. Poor Ran... Good job. I can't wait to see if you're just as good with comedy as you are with angst.

Excellent first story. Wish you luck on future works, though you probubly won't need it.

Wow... That was.. very impressive. It did invoke a lot of feelings, and I'm still a bit stunned by that. The fic had a really quiet and somber atmosphere, and it was amazing how you kept so much of the story hidden, only showing what was happening through Ran's messages (which ironically enough, weren't at all informed on what was going on either! xD) I really liked it! It had a surprise ending, and I think Gin's response was very appropriate.

I do have to say that the beginning could be tweaked up a little bit. Maybe start right off with that amazingly gray feel that this story holds, and not begin with the phone ringing.. I just think it doesn't do justice to the story itself.

Did that make any sense? Or am I just rambling incoherently? I think I am.. XD

Oh, and you can use one of those dividing lines around the beginning of your fic. Because you jumped from Ran calling, to the listening of Shinichi's messages, and when exactly that jump occurred isn't very clear.

Jeez, I'm being extremely specific here, sorry.. xD I never nitpick little details in fics, but since this is your first one, I think you have the right to a thorough (and hopefully helpful!) review. I wish you the greatest luck in future stories! You have lots and lots of potential, so please keep writing! :D

T-t-t-th-th-tha-tha-that was so sad... I-I'm at loss for words to say...

Oh well, great job on your first fanfic!

Oh, there's a typo, it's Mouri Ran, not Moori Ran.

Exceptionally well written!

Wow...so sad! Poor Shinichi and Ran! T.T He was killed by the BO! (sobs)

Nicely done! Good job for being your first one! Keep going!

OMG! That was so depressing. But it was nce though. Just too depressing...T-T
