The precinct was a vault of silence, broken only by the persistent electric hum of the overhead lights in the deserted halls. Inside Captain Sawamura’s office, shadows pooled in the corners as he slumped in his chair, head thrown back, eyes shut tight against the crushing pressure of rising crime rates. The air hung heavy with exhaustion. A sudden, soft groan from the doorway fractured the quiet. Daichi’s eyes snapped open, their focus instantly locking onto the figure holding the stack of files. He straightened his posture, the rich, velvet depth of his voice cutting through the stillness as he acknowledged the Lieutenant with a blend of surprise and inherent command.
