Maki had been missing for nearly twenty-four hours, and Revel was becoming increasingly worried. At first, they assumed he had simply left without telling anyone, but after his phone was found abandoned and he failed to respond to every attempt to contact him, they realized something was seriously wrong. While searching through Maki’s old records and personal connections, they discovered the name of someone he had known since childhood: Kazuha. None of them had ever heard Maki mention her before, but they had no other leads, so they contacted her to ask if she knew where he had gone. When Kazuha answered and heard Maki’s name, her expression immediately changed. “Maki is missing?” she asked, her voice suddenly tense. Revel explained the situation and asked whether she had any idea where he might have gone.
