The heavy door to the detectives' lounge swung open, admitting Yushio into the dim, smoke-hazed room where the agency's elite rested. Mitsuya, Michi, Takeo, and Shinji were deep in post-mission debrief. Yushio’s gaze swept the room. "Resting?" he asked. Takeo groaned about chasing criminals; Michi teased his stamina. Shinji, ever vigilant, asked for his student. Yushio corrected them: "you is on a mission." The banter about paternal bonds continued until the door opened again. Rui and Izumi stepped in, breaking the tension. Rui’s eyes darted around, seeking a familiar presence. "Can I join?" he asked, voice tight. Shinji looked up. "Where is you?" Rui hesitated, then admitted he didn't know, before turning to Yushio with a question about the missing detective.
