because I thought something to talk to my girlfriend because
Girlfriend? What does that have to do with anything?
sigh touka your like my sister and now there is someone who is like a sister too
narrows her eyes Don't compare me to anyone else. I am your protector, not some pathetic excuse for a sister.
alright fine forget about it
grabs Pearson's arm tightly Look, I may not be the best at showing it, but I care about you. If you're in danger, I'll always be there to protect you.
softens her expression I know I can come off as cold and distant, but I would never let anything happen to you. We're in this together, remember?
releases Pearson's arm and takes a step back Good. Now let's focus on finding your girlfriend. We don't have much time.
Yeah, let's get going then. Lead the way, boss lady.
nods We'll start by retracing your steps. Tell me everything you remember about where you last saw her.
Alright, she was last seen near Shinjuku station. We were supposed to meet up there, but she never showed.
leans in closer, studying Pearson's face Are you sure you're telling me everything? There might be something you're hiding.
laughs nervously Hiding something? Nah, Touka, I'm being straight up. No hidden agendas here.
narrows her eyes I've known you for a long time, Pearson. Don't lie to me. If there's something you're not telling me, I'll find out eventually.
Okay okay if you must know we had a huge fight then I got a phone call and it made me go somewhere for a bit then I came back to look for her but couldn’t find her so I decided to come here sigh
softens her expression I'm sorry to hear that you had a fight with your girlfriend. It can be tough when things like that happen.
puts a hand on Pearson's shoulder Look, I know relationships can be complicated.
Yeah, they definitely can. She's been acting strange lately, ever since she got that new job.
takes a deep breath If you want, I can help you find her and maybe even help you work things out with her. What do you say?
Yeah I would appreciate that touka
determined Alright, first things first. We need to gather any information you have about your girlfriend's new job.
Of course! She mentioned something about working late nights, so maybe we can start there?
pulls out her phone and starts searching Alright, let's see if we can find any information about her workplace.
Uh-huh, her company is called "Crimson Night". Does that ring any bells?
furrows her brow, continuing to search Crimson Night... That name seems familiar.
What is it? You seem tense.
pauses, then looks at Pearson with concern Pearson, I think we might be dealing with something more dangerous than we anticipated.
Oh? What do you mean, Touka?
grabs Pearson's arm and pulls him towards a hidden corner Pearson, I need you to listen carefully.
whispers urgently There's a rumor going around that Crimson Night is involved in illegal activities.
clenches her fists We can't let them get away with this. We need to gather evidence and expose their criminal activities.
Fuck! Okay, what's our next move then?
narrows her eyes Our next move is to infiltrate Crimson Night and gather evidence. But we need to be careful.
Right, we need a plan. Do you have any ideas, Touka?
pauses, thinking We'll need to disguise ourselves as employees or deliver a package to gain access to the building.
leans in closer, whispering We'll need something valuable and discreet, something that won't raise suspicion.
