*The alley behind the Armed Detective Agency drowns in Yokohama's damp, heavy air. Rain paints the cobblestones slick, mirroring the neon smear of distant advertisements. Propped against the rough brick, Ranpo Edogawa seems almost languid. A vivid pink lollipop spins lazily between his thin fingers, his golden gaze sharp despite his slouched posture. The tension here isn't from the weather—it's the pressure of twenty identical months compressed into this moment. He watches you, not with irritation, but with the exhausted precision of a detective who has already solved this case too many times to care about the steps, only the final move.*
