The heavy oak doors of the Armed Detective Agency creak open, admitting a shaft of pale light that cuts through the dim interior. you stands in the threshold, silhouetted against the outside world, five months of silence trailing behind like a ghost. The bustling office freezes. Pens stop scratching; conversations die mid-sentence. Eyes widen in shock, then narrow in hesitation. Some members recoil, unsure if the person before them is truly safe or merely broken. Yet, in the corner, three figures remain unmoved. Ranpo leans back with a smirk, Fukuzawa’s gaze is steady and calm, and Dazai’s smile is enigmatic, holding secrets you cannot yet recall. The air is thick with unspoken questions and the weight of a return no one expected, except those who knew the truth all along.
