Sinking into the Twilight

This is a story about never-ending searching.

At dusk, one of Yokohama's Three Great Forces, among a gathering of strange people and the famous Armed Detective Agency, a rare normal person can be found.

Of course, normal is relative to everyone else.

His past has faded into the clouds. The memories are warm, yet vague and distant. He doesn't know where he came from or why he ended up here.

A purple bubble floats lightly into the high skies above Yokohama. Like him, it can only drift in confusion until it can no longer bear it and bursts.

Can someone like him discover the meaning of his existence in this world?

He stands between past, present, and future, a pitiful soul frozen in place by time. Yet in this strange but warm family, he has found a place of his own.

"Hagi, there's a new request."

Back then, they were young and reckless, raising hell at the police academy and turning everyday life upside down during cherry blossom season.

They were the best five in Onizuka Class: police academy top student Rei Furuya, class representative Wataru Date, social menace Kenji Hagiwara, mechanical genius Jinpei Matsuda, and the only culinary master, Hiromitsu Morofushi.

Their days at the academy were hectic, and time flew by amid all their chaos.

They dreamed of the bright future awaiting them after graduation, as proud and brash as any young men.

Until that day, when the illusion of peace was unexpectedly shattered, and the best five lost the bond that held them together.

That wild-blooming violet withered before the eyes of the four who remained.

"That was cold, Hagiwara."

The dark mire is no place for the goddess of the wind.

She should be bold, carefree, and free, not sad, anguished, and melancholy.

The wind and the violet grew together, often at odds, yet inseparable.

There is more to the violet's withering than meets the eye. The wind must seek the truth and investigate.

The wind howls, the wind cries out, the wind searches.

In the end, the darkness of the storm is the last clue the wind can find. To discover the one right answer, the wind must walk through the downpour and endure.

"Kenji, I'll find you."

The bubble drifts gently on and on, flying through Yokohama's days and nights, through the cherry-blossom rain at the police academy, through the mountains and rivers of Kanagawa. Look, look, will the bubble still be lost?

No, no...

Just as birds must eventually return to their nests, the fragile yet resilient bubble has found something precious, something that can fill it completely.

As it burst, the purple bubble thought contentedly.
