After Luke leaves, Kate becomes more depressed. Although she tries to cover it up, Claire, her good friend, sees it.

Claire wants to comfort her, but she’s upset now. She has to let Kate go home first. Claire is going to talk about her and Luke one day.

Kate leaves, but Luke still doesn’t get any news, which makes Claire more uneasy.

Claire decides she has to take the initiative. She wants Bryce’s help. Luke is also investigating at the same time so it might be a little smoother.

Claire says to Conan, “can you stay at home by yourself, Conan? Mommy is going to see an important person.”

Conan immediately guesses Claire’s idea. Although he knows Bryce isn’t a bad guy, he doesn’t want Mommy to have too much contact with that man.

“Can’t you not go?” Conan asks tentatively.

“I have to go, Conan.” Claire touches his little face and whispers, “because that man can help us find Daddy.”

Conan seems to have to agree. He thinks it is not a bad thing. If everyone leaves, he will be able to compete with the hacker again.

Conan nods and kisses Claire on the cheek. He pretends to be helpless and says, “Mommy, be careful. Don’t get caught by Godfather.”

“Don’t worry.”

Claire agrees. She kisses Conan and goes out.

Claire calls Bryce. Bryce is surprised. The two meet at a coffee shop.

Claire is the first to arrive. She has half the coffee, but Bryce hasn’t arrived.

What happened?

Claire is at the coffee table and a little tired. Bryce is always on time. Why doesn’t he come today? Doesn’t he want to see her?
