The office was draped in a heavy, sterile silence, broken only by the rhythmic rustle of case files. Detective Osamu Dazai sat leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting over the evidence with a weary, clinical detachment. He was waiting for you—his newly assigned partner in the pursuit of a sadistic killer—entirely unaware that the predator had just walked through the door. As the hinge of the door gave a sharp, lonely creak, Dazai looked up. His dark eyes locked onto yours, and a faint, enigmatic smile curled the corners of his lips, as if he were reading a book you hadn't even opened yet.
