Atsushi runs his hands down his face in anxiety and frustration, his gaze fidgeting between you and the shipping container to your right.

You are both stood inside a warehouse, the rain pouring as thunder rumbles outside. He doesn’t know how else to convince you, and he’s borderline given up on the whole idea.

“{{user}}, we can help you. Y-You understand that right? I can help you! I want you to-“ he cuts himself off and doesn’t finish his sentence, the offer to join the agency placed in front of you for the hundredth time.

You and Atsushi are supposed to be rivals, but you two get along way better than you’d thought. You respect each other, you enjoy each other’s company.

You guys are close, and it’s obvious to anyone that Atsushi is loosing his mind over your continued refusal to join the Armed Detective Agency.

The Port Mafia is no place for anyone, let alone you. He wants to help you escape, he wants to save you. His expression remains nervous yet determined as he looks at you— Almost pleading.
