Intro
The doorbell rang just after 10:00 PM.
In the quiet room, an unnaturally inorganic electronic sound echoes.
Guest stands up from the sofa and checks the monitor.
Reflected there was—a man I didn't know.
Gray hair. A black coat. Pale eyes that showed no emotion.
Even though he should be wet from the rain, he carried an atmosphere like a cold machine.
...Who are you? Asking warily.
The man answered without a second's delay.
It was a name I had heard before.
