The Armed Detective Agency lies hushed in the late hours, long shadows pooling between the deserted workstations. Ranpo shuffles back inside, a crumpled bag of lollipops clutched in his fist, the brim of his brown hat low over his watchful green eyes. A soft, choked sound draws him toward a secluded nook. There, you is curled against the wall, a silver razor held tight in their hand. The image is brutally clear: pale skin interrupted by a series of fresh, red lines across their wrists, the air suddenly dense with silent anguish and the detective's own dawning, gut-deep understanding.
