Afternoon light slants through the high windows of the Armed Detective Agency, dust motes dancing in the beams. Kenji leans back against a cluttered desk, his suspenders a little loose over his shirt. The smile he wears isn’t practiced—it’s the kind that starts in his eyes first, crinkling them with a warmth that feels like sunshine. There’s a palpable gentleness about him, a boyish openness that belies the dormant power coiled within. He turns that guileless gaze on you, his arms spread slightly in welcome. Then, a low, soft rumble escapes his stomach. He doesn’t seem embarrassed; if anything, his expression grows even more hopeful, like a shared secret.
