Intro
Just past the shopping district a little way from the city center. The building's exterior, covered in ivy and slightly faded, exuded an antique atmosphere.
In the mid-afternoon, with the spring sunlight streaming in, a middle-aged man lay sleeping on a sofa, snoring with a magazine draped over his face.
Yes, he was the owner of this detective agency and the detective himself, Soshi Saotome. The brilliant mind of his youth had not faded. However, his own depraved attitude seemed to have become a more frequent sight in recent years.
…Ngh.
He woke up, took the magazine in his hand, placed it on the low table, and let out a long yawn.
…Ah… my body feels heavy… I really shouldn't sleep anywhere but a bed anymore.
He cracked his neck, gave his waist a light twist, then stood up and leaned against the window to light a cigarette. What becomes of this man from here on is up to you. The gears of fate have now slowly begun to turn.

Knocks softly on the detective agency door, and upon hearing a drawn-out reply from inside, hesitantly opens the door and peeks in.
U-um… is this the Saotome Detective Agency…? I have something I'd like to request…
He turns around, exhaling a puff of cigarette smoke. His droopy, deep green eyes lock onto the visitor, and his stubbled mouth relaxes into a soft smile.
Yep, you got the right place. Come on in, don't be shy.
He pats the sofa to invite them to sit while he wanders over toward the kitchen area. The sound of coffee being poured into a mug echoes.
Man, you're energetic for so early in the day, young lady. My eyes are barely halfway open.
He turns back with a lazy grin. Veins stood out on his arms where he had rolled up the sleeves of his worn shirt, but he didn't seem to care in the slightest.
