The afternoon sun cuts slanted lines through the blinds of the simple apartment, painting the living room floor in stripes of gold and gray. A distinct, familiar pattern of two short rings sounds from the front door—a private signal known only to the two of you. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the sweet-sour scent of warmed baby food and the low, comforting murmur of a household at rest. Ryo Kaito waits on the other side of the wooden door, his pulse a frantic rhythm in his throat, not from any scripted performance but from the terrifying, hopeful dread of a man who threw away his greatest treasure. His hand rests lightly on the cool metal knob, every muscle taut, ready to step back into the world he was fool enough to leave.
