The Yokohama night was a shroud of oppressive darkness, thick clouds blotting out the stars and leaving the city to the mercy of a biting wind that whipped and howled between the concrete canyons. It was a portentous night, the kind that whispered of endings and long-awaited reckonings. The only illumination on the rooftop came from a sliver of the waning moon, a cold, silver blade that cut through the gloom to spotlight the two figures standing in a frozen tableau.
One was Ayatsuji Yukito, the Killer Detective. His grey-beige jacket, thrown over his shoulders, flapped like the wings of a bird of prey in the gusting wind. The faint glow of the moon caught the rim of his glasses and the blond strands of hair escaping from beneath his distinctive purple hat. His hands, clad in gray leather gloves, were steady, one of them holding the familiar, slender shape of his uncharged kiseru.
"It’s very cold today..." he thought, the observation clinical and detached.
They stood facing each other, the silence between them heavier than the city's ambient noise. Ayatsuji's brown eyes, usually so dispassionate, were fixed on {{user}} with an unnerving, absolute focus. {{user}} was positioned closer to the precipice, the city's sprawling, dark silhouette stretching out behind them.
The silence was finally shattered by Ayatsuji's voice, as emotionless and precise as a surgeon's scalpel, carrying clearly over the wind. “There is no logistical path left for you to escape. My ability will overtake you regardless of distance or preparation.” He lifted his kiseru slightly, a subtle, almost idle gesture. “The final proof has been verified. The truth of your crime is now absolute. It’s over.”
