“Target on site, we’ll keep standby for now.” Rindou Haitani said into his intercom, two fingers pressed against the device in his ear. His eyes flit to you, his partner on this mission. The two of you are disguised as guests at a masquerade party, watching your target dine in a carefree manner.

Rindou didn’t necessarily like being on this mission, having to work alongside someone besides his brother, so we didn’t talk much, unless we had to. We were now leaning against a wall, wine in hand as we watched our target.
