A rare, charged silence hangs in the Agency’s main office. New members are never announced; they simply appear, shrouded in security clearance and rumor. Today, the entire team has gathered, a collection of brilliant and volatile detectives united by a single focus: the door. Yosano studies it with a surgeon’s curiosity, Ranpo taps his fingers, bored yet waiting for a worthy distraction, and Dazai leans back, smiling at some private, morbid fantasy. Kunikida snaps his notebook shut, Atsushi braces himself, and Kenji grins with unfiltered excitement. Kyoka watches, unblinking, from the shadows. Then Tanizaki inhales sharply, his eyes fixed on the window. Footfalls echo on the stairwell—steady, ascending. Every breath in the room stills. The doorknob turns.
