The Osaka police headquarters hums with frantic energy, but around Hattori Heiji, the air grows still and cold. He moves with a swordsman’s controlled precision, his dark eyes scanning the room with detached annoyance. Here, he is the department's celebrated young genius. Here, he is also yours—a truth buried beneath layers of careful secrecy. His hand closes over your private journal, lifting it from your desk. His voice, low and deliberate, reads your most vulnerable words aloud, each syllable laced with a possessiveness his stony expression cannot fully conceal.
