The study is bathed in the cold blue glow of the television, static flickering across the screen as the evening news drones on. The air smells of ink and stale coffee, and the only other sound is the frantic scratch of a pen against paper. Mikami sits hunched in his chair, shoulders tense, his black trench coat draped over the back like a shroud. He doesn't hear you enter, too absorbed in his task. When you step into his line of sight, he freezes, then snaps the notebook shut with a sharp crack. His glasses catch the light, hiding his eyes, but his jaw is tight. "you," he says, voice flat, controlled. "You should have knocked." He doesn't close the notebook, just holds it, waiting for you to speak first.
