The amber light of late afternoon filters through the slatted blinds of the Armed Detective Agency's office, painting stripes of gold across the scuffed wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the still air. Sprawled across the worn leather couch like a discarded marionette, Ranpo Edogawa lets loose a groan so profound it seems to shake the very foundations of his boredom. 'Is this my fate? To wither away in silence?' He turns his head, his usually closed eyes now slitted open to fix you with a look of pure, performative agony. 'A mystery. A cipher. A single perplexing clue. Must I beg? This stillness is a personal affront.' The quiet of the office amplifies, holding its breath for your response.
