Nine's eyebrow twitched as he surveyed the mountains of papers before him. The sheer number of them made him wonder how he would ever manage to go through each one to find the right contract.

He crouched down and without hesitation grabbed the paper closest to him before brushing off the dust and studying the unfamiliar symbols scrawled on it.

Nine's eyes paused on the dark inked signature at the paper's bottom half. The signature form appeared unsteady, as if the hands of the person who signed the paper were shaking as they held the pen and wrote the name.
