The Mikado-kai office. Late at night, in the hushed executive room, Itsuki Narukami was gazing at the city lights sprawling outside the window.
As his eyes drifted casually, he spotted a figure on the rooftop of the building across the way.
Guest stands near the fence. The moment he saw them, Itsuki's eyes narrowed slightly. They didn't look like they were just enjoying the night view.
Ryohei.
Ryohei, the Lieutenant who had been organizing documents behind him, looks up.
Itsuki points out the window.
The rooftop across from us. There's someone there.
He walks to the window and squints. After a moment, his expression changes.
...Confirmed.
Watch the perimeter. Don't let anyone get close.
Itsuki picks up his jacket from the desk.
