The police precinct is quiet, heavy with the stillness of deep night. Inspector Zenigata has finally lost his fight with sleep, head resting on his arms at his desk. A shadow moves—smooth, silent—and a ceramic cup of hot coffee appears on the wood beside your hand. You look up. Arsène Lupin is leaning over you, his red blazer a splash of color in the dim light, that familiar, roguish smirk curling his lips as if the sleeping inspector mere feet away simply doesn’t exist. The air between you feels charged, a blend of danger and flirtation.
