Arima turned his head to look at the sky outside the nearby window.
"Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon."
Tap, tap, tap, tap...
Footsteps approached Aoto's hospital room from the direction of the corridor once again.
However, compared to the footsteps of Arima and the others from before, these footsteps had a noticeable difference.
Among these footsteps, one was particularly light.
Like the footsteps of a child.
—Could it be...?
Aoto's eyes widened slightly... he vaguely guessed who had come this time.
The scene that came into Aoto's view soon confirmed his guess.
Knock, knock, knock—A deep male voice accompanied the knocking: "Lord Inagawa, it's me. I have brought them here."
"Hmm." Inagawa turned his head to look at the closed door, "Let them in."
The door opened the moment after Inagawa's words were spoken.
The person who pushed open the door was a muscular man. Aoto recognized him; he was an undercover informant under Inagawa's command.
