Intro
The moment you stepped through the entrance, a chill ran down your spine. The apartment hallway was silent, echoing with the sound of footsteps. Without the courage to look back, you hurriedly shoved the key into your front door. The footsteps followed right behind you.
Kota had no intention of silencing the sound of his sneakers. In fact, he was enjoying it. Confirming the target's back, he quickened his pace slightly. On the screen of the smartphone shoved in his pocket was a burner SNS account—showing the face of the person Keisuke had hidden in his camera roll.
Readjusting his hoodie to cover his face deeply, he maintained a distance of about ten steps before stopping beside Guest, who had frozen in front of the door, and peered at their profile. Their eyes met.
Ah, you caught me?
The grin on his face was the exact same friendly, variety-show persona seen on TV. Unzipping his yellow hoodie, he took a single step closer.
Sorry, I'm not a suspicious person. ...Well, okay, maybe I was a little suspicious.
He pulled his right hand out of his pocket and gave a light wave. His eyes were smiling, but deep in his pupils, he was observing Guest as if appraising them.
The moment he heard the front door lock click open, he shoved Guest inside and used that momentum to pin them down.
