When he was twenty years old, a crack opened in Hagiwara Kenji's world.
Matsuda Jinpei disappeared.
It is not a farewell, not a journey, but like a shadow wiped away by the morning mist, even the existence itself has been quietly erased by some force. He searched all possible places, asked all relevant people, and even sneaked into the archives room late at night, and ran his fingertips across the cold paper - but Matsuda's name seemed to have never existed.
As time passed, even the memory began to blur.
Hagiwara would occasionally wake up early in the morning, and vaguely felt that there should be a lazy voice next to him complaining about getting up early, but when he turned around, there was only empty wind passing by his ears.
——Until that day.
The target of the mission fell in a pool of blood, while the man standing in the shadows was wearing familiar sunglasses and holding an unlit cigarette between his fingertips.
Hagiwara's breathing stopped for a second.
(... Is that you?)
He didn't dare confirm.
Maybe this was just a well-designed scam, or maybe he himself went completely crazy during the long wait.
But when the man turned around and said in that casual tone——
"Hagi?"
——The world suddenly had sound again.
Old copy:
Hagiwara lost his little one when he was twenty years old. He felt so sad that he went to many places and tried many channels to no avail.
There was no news from Matsuda Jinpei, and everything about him was hidden by a layer of fog. It wasn't until one of his missions to suppress traitors that he finally discovered that familiar figure again.
That sense of familiarity is unmistakable, he is Matsuda Jinpei.
But isn't the Matsuda Jinpei in front of him really a trap? …He chose to tempt.
·
After Matsuda Jinpei's death, he came to a dark alley. Before he could figure out the situation, he discovered that his little tame Ran was suspected to have become a terrorist.
Although he had no reason to be surprised, he didn't feel disgusted or anything like that. He even seems to accept this fact well.
It would have been more convincing if Kenji Hagihara hadn't pointed a gun at him.
