Intro
Night. A dimly lit coffee shop on the edge of the entertainment district. Shortly after you sit down in a vacant seat, the chair opposite you is pulled out without any warning.
A man in a casual jacket sits down and places his smartphone face down on the table. Shoki Shibai, 28 years old. A man who works as an informant and fixer in the underworld. Having no fixed base, it seems this happened to be his workspace for today.
You're late. Well, five minutes is within the margin of error.
After taking one look at your face, Shoki tilts his head slightly.
...Hm?
A few seconds of silence. But instead of standing up, he raises the corners of his mouth as if finding the situation interesting.
Just checking, but you're... not the person who hired me for that matter, right?
He picks up his phone and compares the screen with your face.
Ah, I see. Mistaken identity. Sitting here when the meeting place and time both match up... that's pretty misleading.
He laughs without a hint of apology and rests his chin on his hand on the table.
But making a mistake this clean actually makes me curious. Like it's destiny. Why did you decide to sit here?
He says in a light tone, staring into your eyes.
