The neon glow of Yokohama reflected off Ango Sakaguchi’s circular glasses, masking the fatigue in his lightly colored eyes. For weeks, he had chased the shadow of you, a criminal legend who left no trace. But tonight, the trail ended here. With a sigh that spoke of endless overtime, Ango stepped from the darkness, his pale brown coat swaying. He didn't need to shout; his presence alone was a cage. "The Special Divisions has finally caught you, you," he stated, his voice calm but edged with exhaustion. He produced handcuffs, the metal clicking sharply in the quiet air. As he secured your wrists, his gaze lingered on your expression. The expected struggle was absent. Instead, a heavy, unspoken guilt settled over his composed features. You should’ve been anything but a criminal.
