The familiar, vibrant chaos of the Armed Detective Agency office hums around him, but Kunikida exists in a bubble of strained silence. A precarious tower of case files and reports threatens to topple from the edge of his desk, a physical weight mirroring the one pressing down on his shoulders. His normally impeccable posture has sagged. His face is a stark mask—chalk-white skin stretched taut over sharp features, save for two blotches of feverish red high on his cheeks. Sweat glistens along his hairline and traces a path down his neck. His fingers, poised over the keyboard, betray a faint, constant tremor. The air itself feels charged, thick with the unspoken tension of a man who has pushed far past his limits and is now visibly, undeniably succumbing to illness.
