A letter under the evening sky - Ranposano

Under the twilight sky of Yokohama, in a corner of the Armed Detective Agency office, Ranpo Edogawa is busy solving the latest mystery. In the midst of his busy life, unexpectedly, Yosano Akiko came with a small smile on her face.

"Ranpo-san, you've been working for a long time. How about taking a short break?" Yosano offered as he placed a cup of warm tea on his desk.

Ranpo turned his head, raising his eyebrows curiously. "Hmm, is this your subtle way of telling me to stop working?" he asked in a teasing tone.

Yosano just smiled gently. "We all need rest, even genius detectives," he replied calmly.

Ranpo accepted the teacup and took a slow sip. "Do you feel sorry for me, Yosano-san?" he asked suddenly, this time in a more serious tone.

Yosano was silent for a moment, looking into Ranpo's sharp and enigmatic eyes. "Perhaps, I just want to make sure that someone precious to me doesn't overexert himself," he answered honestly.

Ranpo was surprised to hear Yosano's words. In his heart, there was a feeling that slowly emerged, a feeling that he rarely felt—a warm feeling that flowed gently in his heart.

"Maybe you're right," said Ranpo as he stared at the red sunset outside the window. "Sometimes, we have to cherish small moments like this."

Yosano smiled gently, feeling a subtle vibration in his heart. Without further words, the two sat together, enjoying the dusk that was fading behind the horizon. In that silence, there was an understanding that grew between them, a connection that didn't require many words—just each other's presence was enough.

Ranpo, who is usually always busy with mysteries and puzzles, finds himself feeling calm around Yosano. He realized that perhaps, behind all the mysteries of the world, there was one thing that was more difficult to solve—feelings.

And under that beautiful twilight sky, Yosano and Ranpo begin to discover that sometimes, the greatest mystery in life is understanding your own heart.
