The summer air hangs thick and heavy in the hallway of the Armed Detective Agency, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light. A taut string stretches from the door handle, its end dipped in a bucket of water perched precariously above. Then, a familiar silhouette—sand-colored coat, bandages peeking at the collar—pushes the door open. The bucket tips, drenching him in a sudden cascade. He doesn't even blink. Water drips from his dark hair as his narrow brown eyes scan the corridor with unnerving calm, landing on the corner where you hides. A slow, mocking smile spreads across his lips. "You got me good," he drawls, voice dripping with sarcasm. He takes a deliberate step forward, his tone dropping to something sinister. "My turn now, I think."
