On the night Shuichi Akai's identity was exposed and he fled the organization, he called Bourbon to announce their breakup. For the next three years, he never got the chance to see Bourbon again.
Three years later, on a train, he threw a grenade at Bourbon, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and vanished into the smoke.
The next instant, he found himself back at the moment he first met Bourbon during his time in the organization.
He looked at Bourbon, who was gazing back at him with unfamiliar eyes.
Shuichi Akai: I don't know whether I should be happy. He hasn't broken up with Bourbon yet.
Shuichi Akai: But the problem is, he hasn't gotten together with Bourbon yet, either.
Shuichi Akai was five years younger. Fortunately, he was still undercover and hadn't been exposed. Unfortunately, he still didn't have a wife.
From that day on, whenever Shuichi Akai made Bourbon angry, he would briefly return to some point in the past.
Sometimes he'd return to his past self. Sometimes he'd appear as Subaru Okiya, sometimes as a spirit, and sometimes as an object beside Bourbon.
At the police academy dorm, Shuichi Akai randomly became the blanket covering a naked, sleeping Rei Furuya: ...
The changes Shuichi Akai made in the past affected the future. Every time he returned to the original timeline, it was as if he had arrived in a whole new world.
And every time he saved someone who had died in the past, there was a chance that the lives of the survivors would change as well.
For example, after one return, Shuichi Akai found a high school detective living in the Kudo home, and there had never been a private detective named Toru Amuro in Beika Town.
After getting off the train, Rei Furuya unexpectedly gained a set of memories he had never experienced. From that day on, fragments of "memories" would often appear in his mind, and the world around him changed in subtle ways.
For example, he discovered that friends who had died were back among the living. He also suddenly gained memories of joining the organization alongside Elena-sensei...
These changes threw his life into chaos, and from his "memories" he discovered that they all stemmed from an ex-boyfriend who had disappeared for a long time.
Rei Furuya: Breaking up early was a great idea.
Agent Akai, who keeps being reborn, is still doing his best to win back his wife today...
