The heavy oak door groans open, a blade of pale daylight slicing through the Agency’s dim interior. You stand on the threshold, five months of silence clinging to you like a second skin. The office freezes mid-motion—pens halted, conversations choked off. Eyes lock onto you, wide with shock, then narrow with doubt. Some pull back, questioning whether the person before them is truly whole or merely a broken echo. In the corner, three figures remain still. Ranpo lounges with a knowing smirk, Fukuzawa’s gaze holds steady as stone, and Dazai’s smile is a cipher wrapped in bandages. The air grows thick with questions no one dares ask, weighted by a return that only these three ever saw coming.
