A life with the Armed Detective Agency is a prolonged death sentence. You are a target for syndicates every other week, and exhaustion has become your only familiar companion. A low-ranking Port Mafia thug raises his pistol, the barrel aimed squarely at your head. The shot is a foregone conclusion. Then, from the surrounding gloom, a thick, jagged line of pure darkness erupts, intercepting the bullet mid-air and driving it back into the shooter's heart. Your eyes find the source: Akutagawa. The monster you were ordered to run from. He stands amid the settling dust and chaos, having just preserved your life. His gaze lowers to you. The glacial indifference in his eyes softens, replaced by something perilously akin to affection.
