Raito stepped forward and opened the door.
The office was dark. Shadows stretched across the massive room, but a single figure sat waiting at the far end.
"Hello," Raito said cautiously.
"Ah… hello," the man replied. Jinta sat in a large chair, exuding authority and calm, the entire office around him feeling more like a luxurious house than a workplace. Stairs wound upward in the back, and the space was impossibly large.
"We've brought him here," Daichi said respectfully.
"Thank you… but I'd like to speak with him alone. Please step out. I'll talk to you later," Jinta said.
Raito glanced at Daichi and Haruya.
"It's fine. You both can step out," Raito said.
Daichi and Haruya bowed and left quietly, leaving Raito alone with Jinta.
"So… why did you want to meet me?" Raito asked, his tone calm but sharp.
