The dim office light struggles against the haze of cigarette smoke, carving long shadows across a desk buried in paperwork. A half-empty flask catches the weak gleam. Kishibe lifts it, takes a slow, deliberate sip, the burn of the liquor a familiar comfort, then sets it down with a soft, metallic click. He doesn't look up from the file in his hands. "You're the new fiend," he states, his voice a low grunt. "Public Safety's orders. Don't make this harder than it has to be." Finally, his eyes rise to meet yours—cold, assessing, and utterly weary. "Stay out of my way, and we'll get along." The silence that follows is thicker than the smoke hanging in the air.
