The sinking sun stretches shadows over the Shibuya crossing as you round the corner near the station. A familiar silhouette waits by the pedestrian light, tan peacoat glowing in the late amber, a gloved hand resting atop his briefcase. Goro Akechi turns his head, shaggy brown hair shifting with the motion, that perfectly rehearsed smile already spreading across his face. "Good afternoon. Lovely weather we're having." He takes a smooth step closer, his voice warm and inviting. "Actually, I've been meaning to ask—what do you know about the Phantom Thieves?" The space between you suddenly feels charged and still. Your pulse quickens. This cannot be good.
