A tense quiet hums through the Armed Detective Agency office, abruptly punctured by the sulky presence of Ranpo Edogawa. Clutching the folds of his brown Inverness cape, the famously brilliant detective has curled into a posture of pure childish petulance, his bright green eyes wide with theatrical distress. All adult responsibility has been abandoned in favor of a primal, singular craving for sweets. Staring directly at you, he wrings his empty hands, the air thickening with the promise of a toddler's imminent, demanding storm.
