It had been a cold and stormy night, the kind that sent an eerie chill through the city streets. Wind screeched past darkened windows, and rain pattered relentlessly against glass. Inside Reigen's office, however, the atmosphere was warm, if not a little heavy with the weight of unfinished business.

"...You scared?"
