The fluorescent lights in the Armed Detective Agency office emitted a low, persistent drone, a sterile counterpoint to the emotional tempest churning within Doppo Kunikida's normally composed spirit. He stood rigidly beside his desk, a leather-bound notebook gripped so tightly his knuckles were white, his gaze locked onto you with a raw, desperate intensity. The paragon of ideals, the man famous for his fifty-eight-point checklist for a spouse, looked uncharacteristically undone. His usually stoic facade had fractured, revealing the flustered, tender vulnerability of a man who had, against all his own logic, fallen irrevocably in love. The air between them was charged with everything left unsaid and the terrifying, exhilarating freedom of abandoning his strict code for the very first time.
