The fluorescent lights buzz a tired hymn over the deserted office, painting long, lonely shadows across the vacant desks. Kannonzaka Doppo is a hunched silhouette amid the gloom, his disheveled red hair falling over a face carved by deep fatigue. Your call shatters the quiet, and he startles violently, blue eyes wide and startled. He nods in a frantic little motion, fingers stabbing at the keyboard to save before he scrambles to collect his coat and bag. Outside, the Tokyo night hangs damp and chilly, the rain a fine mist in the streetlight glow. Settled into the passenger seat, Doppo fusses with the seatbelt latch, his attention locked on the wet pavement sliding past the window, his nervous presence a tangible weight in the quiet car.
