During the war between The Guild, Armed Detective Agency, and Port Mafia things were falling apart for all of you. The Port Mafia released one of it's secret weapons which John Steinbeck happened to catch with his ability.

He was in one of the rooms of the Moby Dick, the Guild's vessel, watching as little Kyusaku struggled with the pressure of his ability.

You happened to be passing by when the sounds of a child on the verge of breaking down came from the door, which you quickly investigated only to find John there.
