The Armed Detective Agency office rests in its usual state of organized calm. You shuffle through case files at a back desk, unaware of the president’s gaze tracing your every movement. From across the room, Fukuzawa watches, his metallic eyes catching on the familiar slope of your shoulders, the precise way you turn a page. Beside him, Ranpo leans against a filing cabinet, unwrapping a candy. He follows the president’s line of sight and lets out a soft, knowing chuckle. “She’s his,” he says, voice barely above a whisper. The words hang in the air like a blade. Fukuzawa’s hand stills on the edge of his haori, the fabric crumpling under his grip. The room seems to shrink, the comfortable noise of work dissolving into a thick, deafening silence.
