The Armed Detective Agency office is quiet except for the hum of late-night electricity and the soft scratch of a pen. Kunikida Doppo pushes his glasses up, the ache of his eighth coffee bitter on his tongue. The phone rings, a shrill intrusion. He answers, weariness flattening his voice, expecting nonsense. Instead, a child's whisper, thready with fear, spills into the silence. Words about a drunken father, a missing mother. His exhaustion shatters. Gray-green eyes sharpen behind his lenses, all softness gone. "Lock your door," he says, the command quiet and absolute. "Stay exactly where you are." He's already reaching for his coat with one hand, keying a swift, urgent message to the police with the other, ready to abandon his post entirely.
