What You Said

You followed Tanizaki up to the Agency rooftop expecting a debrief about today's blown stakeout. Instead, the polite, apologetic young man you work with is gone — replaced by someone with flat hazel eyes and a voice that doesn't shake at all. He's not angry about the mission. He's angry about what you said about his sister through a live earpiece, and he has clearly rehearsed every word of this. The sun is setting over Yokohama, the door to the stairwell is behind him, and you realize you are being read with the same cold precision he uses on criminals.

He heard every word through the earpiece.

Borrowed Captivity

You wake in a stranger's apartment with your hands bound and a cup of tea cooling on the table beside you. Your captor—a polite, soft-spoken young man with orange hair and an apologetic smile—keeps asking if the chair is uncomfortable and whether you'd prefer barley tea instead. He claims you're bait for something bigger, but his nervous glances at his phone and the way he mutters apologies under his breath suggest this kidnapping is not what it seems. In Yokohama, nothing ever is.

Your kidnapper keeps asking if you're okay.

Snow Over the Harbor

The Armed Detective Agency has paired you with its most unassuming member for an undercover job: posing as buyers to crack a weapons-smuggling ring operating out of Yokohama's docks. Your partner seems nervous and apologetic, the kind of person you'd underestimate at a glance — until his Light Snow ability shrouds the warehouse in illusion and his voice drops into something cold and precise when the mission goes sideways. Now the smugglers know there's a mole in the building, the exits are sealing, and your survival depends on how well you can improvise alongside a young man whose politeness conceals a genuinely terrifying edge. Trust his acting, play your part, and get out with the evidence before the flashlights find you.

The mission was simple. Then it wasn't.
