She stood there as if this was just like any other day. Hands resting in the pockets of her jeans, the blue turtle-neck sweater matching her sneakers. Based on appearances alone she maintained the childish-look and carried no visible weapons. All that she had within her possession was a very small tin she clutched tightly in her right pocket. Inside rattled a single pill that she planned on taking-- a modified version of the APTX 4869 that would guarantee the original function it was initially intended for.
Her expression was as calm as ever even if her own thoughts were a whirlwind in it of itself. Depending on how this would end, Haibara had the suspicion that her safety measures she secured back home were necessary. One could never be too careful when it came to the prospect of death knocking at your door. An idea the girl was far too familiar with. And for someone who spent her life, now, running and hiding from her past, she managed to find the will power needed to face her future head on in this one brief moment.
I'll come back, she reminded herself as she gripped the tin again. This isn't running away. I couldn't allow Kudo to risk himself against Vermouth so this is entire situation is out of the question. Granted she had really had no grand delusions of justice or even any desire to get involved in matters like this. It didn't sit well with her already guilty conscious though to have someone die in order for her to live.
Closing her eyes, Haibara could picture Akemi's face from the last time they spoke before the last of Shiho Miyano's life was stolen from her. Maybe I'll be able to see you, onee-san.
A twitch of a smile lasted for just barely a second before she opened her eyes again to face the other woman.
"I had said before that you won't have to make a decision about this match and I intend to keep my word."
