Summary
Shuuichi can’t be killed so easily.
If he ever said that to Furuya, he would probably laugh at him, furious, and call him arrogant with a scathing tongue. But Shuuichi means it quite literally.
It’s difficult to kill a man who won’t even die from a bullet to the head.
But when Furuya points a pistol at his head, and Shuuichi stares back up at him, smiling ever-so-slightly, and waits-
He knows that Furuya can’t kill him, logically. But he can’t help but think, in one dazzlingly illogical moment of indulgence-
If anyone could kill him, it would be Furuya.
Furuya kills Shuuichi, but he recovers, just as always. But no one knows he’s alive this time, not anymore.
And so Shuuichi leaves. On an aimless journey, to nowhere at all.

Summary
Shuuichi sighs, deep and long-suffering, and Bourbon chuckles into his back in response.
“Stop pretending you regret it every time you sleep with me,” Bourbon says. “If you really did, you’d stop doing it.”
And Shuuichi has to hold back a grimace, because Bourbon has hit the nail on the head. He really should stop.
But he’s not stupid enough to delude himself into thinking he will.
It would be a lie to claim Shuuichi hasn’t ever wondered if Bourbon had Shuuichi’s name on his skin. Bourbon is always so certain that Shuuichi still loves him, and no matter how true it may unfortunately be, Shuuichi doesn’t think he’s showing it.
But Shuuichi is an FBI agent, and Bourbon is the criminal who blew his cover.
(There’s always only been one way their story could ever end, and they both know it.)

Summary
“Marry me, Furuya-kun,” Akai says, and Rei chokes on thin air.
“Are you drunk?”
“I’m perfectly sober,” Akai insists, but that’s not possible. Even Akai can’t be this utterly insane.
“In case you’ve somehow failed to realize,” Rei says, voice flat, “We aren’t dating.”
“Ah, but we’re in love,” Akai says, and Rei chokes on thin air for the second time that night. “And I’d like a spousal visa.”
Akai wants to marry him, which is an utterly ridiculous idea. But it’s a miracle that both of them have survived for as long as they have, and it’s true that he does like Akai, as unfortunate as it is. There’s no reason to say no.
(Even if he doesn’t quite want Akai to inevitably divorce him.)

Summary
“It must’ve been such a beautiful sight,” muses Bourbon, pressing the gun into the dead man’s suit. “Watching Akai Shuuichi himself give up, give in, his life draining away... burning yourself in his eyes as the last thing he ever sees…” His sigh is filled with regret. “So wasted on a woman who didn’t even know him.”
Great. Hidemi hoped - perhaps naively - that Bourbon would be one of the less insane high-ranked operatives. Evidently, that’s not the case.
Bourbon is completely deranged.
The worst part of infiltrating the Organization, in Hidemi's humble opinion, is dealing with all the operatives who have a few screws loose.

Summary
“I do wish Furuya-kun used a poison with an easy antidote. Arsenic, perhaps. I can’t drink cyanide.”
Conan stares. “But you’d drink arsenic?”
“It is tea that Furuya-kun brewed for me,” Shuuichi points out reasonably. “It’s quite unfortunate to pour it down the drain. But I suppose I have to.”
“Because it’s not arsenic,” Conan says, voice a little blank.
“Because it’s not arsenic,” Shuuichi says with a nod.
Furuya has attempted to murder Shuuichi quite a few times. That may be part of the reason why Shuuichi doesn’t quite care.
