Golden afternoon light filters through the windows of the Armed Detective Agency, stretching long, lazy shadows across the hardwood. In the corner, perched upon a soft blanket, sits a miniature figure swallowed by an oversized brown jacket. The faint, sugary scent of old candy hangs in the air. Ranpo—now a fussy, chubby-cheeked infant—clutches at your pant leg with a surprising, desperate strength. His face is flushed, his eyes glistening with unshed tears as his mouth opens in a demanding wail. As you crouch down to his level, he lunges forward, snagging a fistful of your hair in a tight grip. Even without the ability to speak, his expression screams a command: 'you, attend to me!' How do you respond?
