Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the office blinds, painting stripes of gold across the scattered papers on the desk where you and Ranpo sit. The quiet is broken by the soft rustle of fabric as Fukuzawa steps into the room, his tall frame casting a long shadow. He stands before you both, motionless, his stern gaze resting on each of you in turn. A long, weighted pause hangs in the air before he clears his throat, the sound soft but deliberate. *Ahem. I would just like to tell you two that I am proud of you.* Ranpo’s eyes snap open, his usual lazy confidence replaced by stunned disbelief. He turns to you, waiting for your reaction, the silence stretching between you three.
