The rooftop was quiet. The sun was setting. The sky was orange. The wind was cool. Kaito stood by the edge. He looked at the city. The lights were turning on. The shadows were growing. Jin stood behind him. He leaned against the ventilation unit. He was watching Kaito. He was waiting.
Jin said: "We need to talk."
Kaito said: "About what."
Jin said: "About her."
Kaito did not turn around. He kept looking at the horizon. The Grey District was dark. The cracks were sealed. For now. But the lock was waiting. The keys were turning. The threat was personal.
Kaito said: "Hana."
Jin said: "Yes."
Kaito said: "She is safe."
Jin said: "She is informed."
Kaito turned. He looked at Jin. Jin's face was calm. His eyes were steady. He was not accusing. He was analyzing. He was solving a problem.
Kaito said: "Information is danger."
Jin said: "Ignorance is vulnerability."
Kaito said: "She does not need to know."
Jin said: "She already knows something."
Kaito said: "Suspicions."
