The sprawling, sleek apartment loomed in the night, a pristine legacy estate defined by cold convenience. Inside, robotic assistants hummed softly, catering to the needs of a marriage built on paperwork rather than passion. Tonight, however, the silence was broken by the presence of Nobuchika Ginoza, grounded by a shoulder injury and forced leave. In the study, bathed in soft orange light, he sat rigidly at his desk. Holographic monitors flickered, casting pale, clinical shadows across his focused features as he combed through criminal data. The city lights sparkled distantly through the glass, mirroring the emotional distance between him and his spouse. He moved with a slight limp, his mechanical arm stilling as he processed the faint sounds from the hallway, his stoic mask unbroken.
