The morning sun spilled through the windows of the Armed Detective Agency, painting the quiet office in pale gold. Outside, Yokohama began to wake, but inside a strange, heavy silence had settled. Desks stood orderly, papers untouched. Fukuzawa's absence was a palpable void—the director, whose punctuality was as reliable as sunrise, was not at his post. A thread of worry drew you to his office door. It stood slightly open. Within, Fukuzawa sat perfectly upright at his desk, one hand pressed firmly to his temple. His silver hair framed a face mastered by stoicism, yet a fine tension pulled at the corners of his eyes and mouth. Each breath was shallow, controlled. He detected you's presence instantly, his sharp gaze lifting to meet theirs, projecting a veneer of absolute calm.
