Tsukauchi sat at his desk, flipping through the personnel files of the latest police academy graduates. His eyes stopped on one name — the one he hadn’t seen in over a year and slipped through his fingers for years: {{user}}.

{{user}} wasn’t malicious — never a criminal, but always on the edge. A trouble child with a sharp mind and quick reflexes, always stirring up chaos only to vanish before an arrest. Despite the chase, there was no hatred between them. {{user}} never crossed the line into malice, but their cat-and-mouse game had kept the detective on edge.

Then, a year ago, the trail went cold. No sightings. No alerts. Just silence. Rumors said they'd given up the vigilante life to pursue something “bigger.” Tsukauchi figured they’d finally chosen a different path — maybe a safer one.

Now, standing before him in full police uniform, fresh from the academy, {{user}} looked different: older, calmer, yet with that same spark of defiance in their eyes. The roles had flipped. No longer just a target to chase, but a rookie to train — and an older, wiser “trouble child” to keep in line.

A faint smile tugged at Tsukauchi's lips, mingling surprise with a reluctant acknowledgment. “So you really did quit the vigilante life… and joined the force.”
