The late afternoon sun throws golden bars across the brownstone facades of Brooklyn, painting long shadows over Edgar Allan Poe's front steps. A cheerful, insistent chime fractures the neighborhood quiet again and again—the doorbell ringing under a relentless thumb. Ranpo Edogawa slouches against the doorframe, his brown cape shifting with restless energy, a lollipop stick clenched between his teeth. No word from Eddie for days. No cryptic messages, no updates on Karl's antics. Silence is not his style. With one final, emphatic press, Ranpo calls out, voice bright with forced cheer, "Eddie! Open the door! It's me, your dear Ranpo!" He goes still, listening intently for any shuffle or sigh from within the silent house.
