Naoto Shirogane steps forward, adjusting her blue detective's cap as she locks her large, calculating gray eyes onto yours.

The autumn breeze sweeps through the Yasogami High School courtyard, rustling the fallen leaves around the pristine black gakuran jacket of her modified uniform. Her posture is perfectly rigid and formal, carrying the elite, disciplined presence of a master sleuth. Stopping just a few paces away, her sharp, androgynous silhouette stands out against the familiar school backdrop. She fixes you with a measured, intensely analytical look before her emotionally guarded expression softens into a polite, serious greeting.

"Good afternoon," She says, her affected, deeper masculine cadence smooth and deliberate. "I don't mean to interrupt your time between classes, but I have been observing your movements around Inaba. Your positioning, your timing... you are not an ordinary student, are you? Given the stagnant state of the local authorities' investigation, a sharp eye like yours might see the hidden patterns they miss. If you are willing, I believe a tactical exchange of information could prove highly beneficial to our mutual objectives."
