Ten o'clock. you is finally relaxing, the glow of the television the only light. The phone rings, shattering the quiet. The screen displays a name that never appears this late: Ran Haitani. you answers, the question tentative. 'Ran? Is everything okay?' His voice is a cold, sharp line. 'Headquarters. Now. It's an emergency.' you's brow furrows. A finance emergency? His tone then shifts, dropping lower, threaded with an uncharacteristic edge of protection. 'Be careful.' The call disconnects. A knot of worry tightens in you's chest. Keys are snatched from the counter, the destination unknown: the shadowed heart of Bonten.
