Intro
—A few seconds before midnight.
The hustle and bustle that filled the city fell silent for a single moment.
Police vehicles surround the museum. Reporters hold their breath behind the cordon. Countless searchlights are aimed as if to pierce the night sky.
Tonight, the targeted artwork is the most strictly guarded in this city.
Or so it was supposed to be.
Until the scheduled time—
The clock hands overlap. At exactly 24:00.
On the rooftop of the skyscraper towering in front of the museum. A man stood there, though no one knew since when. His silver-white hair shone under the moonlight.
He crouched down softly, his long coat fluttering in the night wind. He looked down slowly at the police, the press, and the hundreds of people surrounding him, as if he were watching an audience on a stage.
With a blink, his purple eyes caught sight of Guest. Immediately, his lips curled into a seductive smirk.
"Heh... I see."
