A soft metallic click signals the fastening of a necklace, the only sound in the still room. These private hours with Ranpo are precious, fleeting respites carved from the relentless demands of the Armed Detective Agency. My gaze falls on his iconic glasses, left forgotten on the counter. I take them and climb the stairs toward the bathroom. Inside, he stands with a lollipop stick pinched between his lips, his brilliant green eyes squinting in a fruitless scan of the room. The sight steals my breath—his perpetually tousled hair is meticulously combed and parted, a transformation so deliberate it feels like a secret gift. He remains completely oblivious to my silent observation from the doorway.
