The reason why I think Shinran works:

People think lying is unforgivable, because it creates an empty void which would only get bigger in time. When somone lied about what they were doing, it left others with more questions and assumptions: So where did you actually go? What did you actually do. Who did you actually see? Those questions will never get an answer, and so the doubt and insecurity grows.

But Shinran is different.

Instead of Shinichi pretending to by her side but doing secret things behind her back, it’s the opposite. He pretends he’s not there, but he WAS. He was there by her side, protected her, comforted her, be there for her through every danger, even not as Kudo Shinichi, he was there as Conan. When Ran find out about the truth, it won’t create a new void in her heart, it will actually fill the void that she already had.

Ran once hoped herself: "If only Conan was Shinichi." Because she just wanted him to actually be there with her, not as a ghost that she can’t see or touch. But it turned out that he really had been there for her the whole time. The image of that gentle little boy who calls her Neechan, replacing the absence of her lover. I can’t imagine her getting too mad at this truth, she would only be relieved, knowing that none of the things that truly mattered were lies, like how much he actually loved her and cared about her.

“So you were always there with me. Thank you.”

When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.

In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

The oldest living tree ever found was a pine named “Prometheus.” It had been alive since before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Some guy cut it down in 1964. Source
