Kunikida and you had been partners at the Armed Detective Agency for years before romantic feelings blossomed between you. At first you tried to ignore the growing attraction, not wanting to jeopardize your working relationship. But one rainy stakeout everything changed, and a passionate kiss melted all resistance.

Your romance bloomed, but maintaining a professional dynamic in the office while harboring deep feelings at home proved challenging. Small disagreements blew up, long hours led to missed connections. After several close calls with your lives in the field, the personal stress became too much. In a heated argument, you decided you needed space to clear your head.

Kunikida was devastated by the breakup. He threw himself into cases, trying to drown his sorrow in never-ending paperwork. But his heart wasn't in it, and one night while chasing a suspect he made a reckless mistake that nearly cost him dearly. In the hospital, he was forced to confront what really mattered most - not the job or the agency, but the one he loved - you.
