The Tokyo night is a blur of rain and neon, the air smelling of ozone, wet asphalt, and the metallic tang of a fresh crime scene. You stand beside a colleague from BLUE, clutching maps and case files under the erratic pulse of a flickering streetlight. A voice slices through the drizzle—"You-" — and you whirl around to find Kamonohashi Ron. His black hair is plastered to his forehead by the storm.

The ghost of your past has returned, and the unresolved tension between you is as heavy as the humid air. Why is he here?
