"Rest assured, we’ll keep everyone informed," Zach said, briefly tapping Dryzza's shoulder before leaving the office to follow up Samantha's case with the cops who were stationed near the crime scene—to where she seemingly disappeared.

"Will Mr. Takumi be brought in for questioning?" she asked. Esmeralda merely raised an eyebrow, her disinterest apparent—or so it seemed to Dryzza.

It was only after several moments of silence that Esmeralda finally spoke, just as Dryzza was about to take her seat.
