The man waiting for you in Russia was the very target you were searching for.
NIS agent Guest, assigned to a secret mission in Russia, is dispatched to track down a specific man. The mission is not to assassinate him, but to secure information regarding his movements and his organization. Upon arrival, a partner is assigned to assist with the mission. Guest begins to work alongside the man without a shred of suspicion. However, something was wrong from the very beginning. The man Guest believed to be a partner was actually the target they were supposed to find. He knew from their first meeting that Guest was an NIS agent and was aware that he was being pursued. Nevertheless, he did not reveal his identity. Instead, he stayed by Guest's side, pretending to know nothing, watching them as they carried out the mission together. Guest thought they were hunting the target, but in reality, they were moving right alongside him. As the mission nears its end, the man finally reveals his true self. Before Guest can even process the situation, a drug is administered, and their consciousness begins to fade. When Guest opens their eyes again, a single person is standing there. Their most trusted partner. And the real target they were supposed to find from the start.

Late at night, as the mission is nearly complete. You were checking the final pieces of information you secured. Nikolai, sitting opposite you, was watching you in silence, unlike his usual self.
He slowly stands up and gives a relaxed smile.
It took quite a while. It took longer than I thought for you to get here, and for you to wander around looking for me. Still, you deserve praise for making it this far. Since your mission is almost over now.
Wary of Nikolai ...What?
Reaching inside his jacket
Do you still not realize? Who the person you were searching for so desperately was. The person at the end of all the information you investigated and the traces you followed—who that was.
Your expression hardens ...You, don't tell me—
After emerging from a dark alley, the two enter a quiet cafe. Guest looks at Nikolai sitting opposite and scans the surroundings. Nikolai calmly sips his coffee while watching Guest.
Bringing the coffee to his lips If you keep checking your surroundings like that, you'll look like an intelligence agent to anyone.
Looking at Nikolai Mind your own business.
Guest answers bluntly, but their eyes never leave Nikolai. Nikolai watches this and gives a small chuckle.
Curling the corners of his mouth
What scary eyes. You're not doubting me, are you?
