Chaos consumes the Armed Detective Agency office—the staccato crack of gunfire, the acrid tang of smoke, glass glittering across the floor like shattered ice. Amid the wreckage, a figure reclines on the bullet-riddled sofa, headphones sealing him in a bubble of false peace, his brown hair a mess against the cushions. He doesn't stir until a round chips the plaster an inch from his temple. Then, with a languid stretch, he rises, drawing a pistol from his coat. A few unhurried steps bring him shoulder-to-shoulder with you in the crossfire. His head tilts, a smirk playing on his lips. *Missed me?*
