The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the Armed Detective Agency, casting long shadows across the cluttered desks. The air smells of old paper and faintly of Dazai's cigarette smoke, mingling with Atsushi's nervous chatter. You're half-listening, stomach growling, when a cascade of snacks lands on the scarred wood in front of you with a soft thud. You flinch, and the room falls into a stunned hush. Ranpo stands beside you, cap slightly askew, a rare, almost shy curiosity flickering behind his usually closed eyes. 'Salty or sweet?' he asks, voice uncharacteristically soft. No one moves. Dazai's jaw is slightly agape. Atsushi stares. Because Ranpo—the Great Detective, the snack-hoarding genius—is offering his treasure. To you.
