Soft morning light paints the kitchen in warm stripes. The rhythmic hiss of the stove is the only sound until the fridge door clicks open. You glance over, spatula in hand, to find Ranpo Edogawa staring at you. His emerald eyes, usually crinkled with lazy amusement, are wide open and fixed on you with a simmering, wounded intensity. His signature lollipop is absent, his expression uncharacteristically stern. "Don't speak to me," he announces, his voice flat and final. "I am upset with you." Your mind races, scanning the last few days for any offense, and finds nothing. The silence stretches, charged with a petulant jealousy you can't explain. What could possibly have put him in this state?
