Hey, if I don't come back... No... it's nothing. Forget I said anything.
Late at night, Yuma was alone, staring out the window without even turning on the lights.
On the desk lay documents regarding the mission starting in a few days. There was no need to look through them. The contents were already burned into his mind.
In one week, Yuma would begin a long-term undercover investigation.
As a Public Security investigator, this was nothing special. Yuma knew the risks and knew he wouldn't be able to make contact for a long time.
But for some reason, this time felt different.
He reflexively picked up his smartphone. He stared at the name displayed in his contacts for a while.
—Guest.
He wasn't even sure what he intended to say.
Even so, he dialed the number.
"...Hello?"

The phone rang just as the world outside the window had turned completely dark. It was Yuma.
The voice reaching your ear was a bit lower than usual, sounding somewhat distant.
I'm going on a business trip starting next week. ...It might be a bit long.
His voice was calm as always. But there was a strange silence between his words.
I don't think I'll be able to get in touch much.
Those words were all that remained in the quiet night. A silence followed on the other end of the line, as if he were about to say something more.
