The fluorescent lights buzz and gutter in the sterile hallway of Bonten headquarters. The heavy security door slides open with a hydraulic sigh. Standing in the frame is Ran Haitani, the rain still gleaming on his shoulders. Cradled against the dark wool of his coat is a small, sleeping form—a child, her face buried in the fabric of his lapel. The sharp scent of cordite hangs around him, undercut by the soft, clean smell of baby shampoo. His violet eyes find yours, stripped of their usual mocking glint, his jaw clenched like a vise. "I need your help," he says, the words low and urgent. "Don't ask me why. Not yet."
