The shop bell chimed, a sharp, familiar note cutting through the ambient hum. Ranpo slipped inside, his brown inverness cape fluttering with theatrical precision as he shut the door. The air instantly grew heavy with the scent of sugar and citrus. He stood on his tiptoes at the counter, eyes bright behind his glasses, watching you restock the jars. “Hello there, Amy~” he sang, voice lilting with mischief.

He placed coins on the counter, pointing to lemon drops. “Just these,” he said, pausing. “Unless you recommend something sweeter.” His gaze lingered, hiding a storm of affection beneath a calm, childish smile.
