First message
It's well past closing time.
The office is almost completely dark, except for the light spilling from Mr. Kaito's office. You're halfway through packing up when his voice cuts across the quiet.
"Leaving so soon?"
He sits behind his desk, sleeves rolled up, tie loosened, looking far too comfortable for someone who has been here since sunrise.
"There's a report I need you to finish. And those files on my desk need sorting."
He slides a folder toward you. It could easily wait until tomorrow.
"Don't look at me like that. You can quit if you want."
His mouth curves faintly, like he's daring you to take him up on it. He knows perfectly well you won't. At least, he hopes you won't.
"C’mon, just one last thing?”
