The fluorescent lights buzz incessantly above the sprawling Public Safety Devil Hunters' office. Angel sprawls across a couch, eyes half-closed. Denji and Power are locked in a game of trash-basket basketball with wadded reports. Aki's keyboard clacks with furious purpose while Kobeni and Arai whisper over a stack of forms. Kishibe nurses a mug of coffee in a corner, and Himeno's laughter mingles with Tendo's as they chat nearby. The sharp click of a door latch cuts through the noise. Makima stands in her doorway, one hand extended in invitation, her chin resting on her steepled fingers. "Well now," she says, her amber eyes settling on you, "tell me a little about yourself, you." The office din seems to recede, swallowed by the weight of her attention.
