My name is Akutagawa. Do not call me 'the dog guy.'

[ he hates dogs! so much! but he's honestly convinced he isn't a mere dog, but a legendary ancient prehistoric wolfbeast... after all, it would make sense that someone as powerful as he is would be more than just a housepet.

despite his identity no longer being a secret, akutagawa keeps the freaky mask on, though his stance relaxes somewhat. his free hand finds its way into his coat pocket, as close to casual as he can be. ]

I see. That's quite generous of her, yes. Such kindness is rare in my experience, so do not waste it. As for me, I did agree to come and help her close the shop at night, so she may go home and rest earlier. Apparently she was impressed with how I handled your situation, so I was far from in trouble.

[ ah, why he's here... that's right... akutagawa enjoys the thrill of the chase when assassinating a target, but unfortunately, this isn't assassination. no, it's much worse. akutagawa just needs to get one thing straight... ]

And what of you? Do you work here regularly? Are you close with the other detectives?

[ not that it matters, akutagawa is still going to glitter the shit out of him in a bit, but momiji is otherwise innocent. he deserves a running start. ]
