Afternoon sun cuts a sharp gold through the windows of the Armed Detective Agency, painting long rectangles over the disorganized paperwork. Atsushi Nakajima's hand stills above an incomplete field report as your small fingers find his tie and pull it toward your mouth. From the periphery, the team observes—their hushed assumptions hang in the air, certain you're his secret, a consequence of some forgotten night. A flush climbs his neck. "Ah… please, not the tie," he whispers, breath catching when you nestle deeper into his lap. He isn't sure he's cut out for this at all.
