It is what it is...

Kougami

First impression - she’s like a child. She seemed like a girl who should be at school still. At the same time, her mentality was different from the ordinary people living under sibyl system. He thought she was a mysterious person.

Tough and not nice woman

When they met at SEAUN, he thought - she had turned out to be a ridiculously tough detective. She has become an excellent detective.

At SEAUN, he says to her - You've really grown up (he mutters this very sincerely, makes Akane feel embarrassed) “This is a face of a good shepherd. It’s also a face of a talented hunter.”

Akane

First impression -  If this person were a sword, he would cut even his own sheath.

She once described him as a whirlpool. Because wherever kougami goes, people naturally gather around him.

What she thought while watching him sleep - broad shoulders, a thick chest. Probably the type who looked thinner in his clothes than he really was. She also watched his arms carefully and they were quite thick. A muscular, masculine body. Just looking at him, for some reason she hadn't enough of it. An incredibly well-shaped nose. The thin mouth was attractive but the lips were a bit chapped…

When they met at SEAUN, she said to him - “You really are a stray dog now.”

"Ding... Dong..." Shin-Ae ringed the bell for the third time in her boss's apartment. Is he sleeping or what? The brunette raised her hand to ring again when the door suddenly opened revealing a tired-looking Kousuke.

"Ah... Hey" Shin-Ae waved her already risen hand. Then she noticed how exhausted her boss looked. He was leaning against the door frame for support. His usual ocean blue eyes were half-closed and were dull.

"Miss... Yoo..." He croaked and then started coughing violently. Shin-Ae felt a little tingle in her chest seeing the dark-haired man in his sickly state.

"Are you alright?" Worried, the brunette reached her hand to his forehead to see if he has a fever. Then stopped. What the hell are you doing Shin-Ae?! He's your boss! She quickly withdrew her hand back. And I bet he wouldn't want anyone to bother him anyway...

She cast her eyes down and clutched the envelope in her hand.

"Ah right. Assistant Jayce asked me to deliver this to you."

The blue-eyed man coughed some more, clutching his dark brown shirt. "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea, Miss Yoo?" He finally got out a full sentence after taking a deep breath.

"No, it's alright. Plus you don't look like you're in a state to serve tea for someone. You should get some rest, Kousuke. You look terrible."

He stared at her for a moment before reaching his hand to get the envelope. "Okay. Thanks for getting this here, Miss Yoo."

But just as he was about to get the documents, Kousuke felt his consciousness fading away. What the... He couldn't finish his thought as his legs gave way beneath him and everything faded into complete darkness.
