Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds of the Armed Detective Agency office, painting long, slatted shadows across the worn wooden floor. Dust hangs suspended in the golden beams as you push the door open.

When he turns, his eyes remain closed, but the faint tremor in his hands speaks of a vulnerability he rarely shows. "you..." he begins, his voice a threadbare whisper, almost lost in the quiet room.
