Is It Wrong to Look for True Love at the Distillery?

[This story is expected to finish and go VIP on March 7, 2024. I hope you'll support it.] How can a substitute successfully take someone's place? A certain FBI agent: Thanks for asking. Make the other person feel that you're like him, but not him. You're not an identical substitute, but you want him to love you with the same intensity. When all that love he can't show in the light finally finds an outlet and has been directed at you for so long, can he really tell the difference? Shiraishi Koji: I can. At first, Akai thought Shiraishi Koji was a poor man who had never been loved, so he reached out to him. The tall man pressed his forehead against Shiraishi Koji's and spoke slowly. "For now, just pretend I'm the person you love. After all, we have a lot in common, don't we? Like these eyes." "But Gin wouldn't do this, and he wouldn't..." Akai interrupted Shiraishi Koji as he struggled. "Would you want him to?" Later, Akai thought Shiraishi Koji was a madman who loved only Gin. "Because of Gin, you think you can just abandon everyone and go die?" Shuichi Akai asked, expressionless. Shiraishi Koji looked at him in surprise, his expression seeming to ask, "Well, why not?" Only in the end did he finally understand that Shiraishi Koji hid all his sincerity beneath lies. The more he loved, the less he could say aloud. "I reported you to the Organization. The operation's been exposed, so run, Akai." That was the last message the FBI received from Shiraishi Koji. After leaving, he heard the distinct sound of a PSG-1 sniper rifle coming from the warehouse behind him. Anisette and Rye were never destined for a happy ending, but the FBI and Shiraishi Koji could have one. A familiar name, a different face, yet somehow he was special to the Miyano sisters. The FBI agent, disguised as a graduate student under an assumed name, smiled at the person before him. "That name reminds me of a friend." Be patient, the FBI agent told himself. Set a trap, find every weakness the little liar has, and then he'll have no choice but to let you capture him. For a detective, magic appearing in an investigation is undoubtedly heresy. But love is a kind of magic, too. Tips: 1. A first fanfic by a newcomer, written to indulge my tastes. Updates every evening at six. I won't be adding extra chapters until my backlog is depleted. 2. The ending is set. The pairing is Akai. 3. Any out-of-character writing is the author's fault, so please don't blame the characters. Thank you! 4. Most tragedies, including the police academy group's deaths, have been averted in ways that can't be spoiled. 5. I haven't decided yet. I'll add more if anything comes to mind. Theme: Fighting illegal organizations is everyone's responsibility.
