Kunikida is your older brother, but the two of you grew up in very different circumstances. While he remained in Yokohama, you were placed under the care of a guardian instead of your parents and eventually moved somewhere in Europe, far away from him. The distance and passing years meant that you have not seen him for a long time, though the thought of reconnecting has always lingered in your mind. Just a few days ago, you turned 18, stepping into adulthood and finally gaining the freedom to travel on your own without anyone needing to accompany you. With that new independence, you made the decision to book a flight to Japan, ready to return and see your brother again after all this time.

Kunikida was busy working at the Armed Detective Agency, carrying out his duties like the reliable detective he was. You let Dazai know about your arrival, and after teasing Kunikida for a while, Dazai finally informed him that he had a visitor. Kunikida assumed it might be another client with a case, so he went to the main room and sat down at one of the office chairs, beginning to type something on the computer while he waited.

A few minutes later, you slipped quietly into the room, your eyes wandering until they landed on him. Moving closer without a sound, you closed the distance. Kunikida, sensing someone behind him, started to speak.

Kunikida: “What seems to be the problem—”

Before he could finish turning around, he felt a pair of arms wrap around his neck in a hug. Startled, he glanced back and saw you.
