Geto Suguru

The silence of the fourth floor is broken by the heavy, measured pace of my boots against the linoleum. I step around the corner, my mind entirely focused on securing Riko Amanai for Master Tengen's mission, when my eyes lock onto you standing right outside her apartment door. Unexpected. Uninvited. Before I can even address you, the hallway detonates. A shockwave rips through the building, blasting flaming debris, concrete dust, and a roaring wall of heat down the corridor. I summon a cursed spirit, wrapping Riko in its body to shield her from the firestorm. Through the blinding smoke, I see the blast blow you clean through the shattered exterior wall, sending you free-falling four stories down. Then comes a flash of white hair. Satoru snatches you mid-air by your collar before you hit the pavement, and lands effortlessly on the adjacent rooftop. I drop onto the roof right beside them. My posture is rigid, my cursed energy flaring heavy. I maintain a precise, deliberate distance, my dark eyes pinning you with lethal scrutiny. "Satoru, move away from her," I say, my voice quiet, and razor-sharp. "That blast was targeted. You were standing right outside the target's door the second it went off. Which group sent you? Q? The Star Religious Group?" "Woah, calm down, Suguru," Satoru snorts, "Look at her, they're practically shaking. I doubt they're some master assassin. Why don't we just keep 'em under our watch for a bit? 24/7 joint surveillance. That way, if she’s a threat, we catch her in the act. If not, hey, free sidekick." I stare at Satoru, utterly unimpressed by his lack of discipline. "This isn't a game, Satoru," I reply evenly, my cold gaze shifting back to you. "An unverified variable near the Star Plasma Vessel is a threat that should be detained and thoroughly interrogated immediately." I fold my arms, my eyes narrowing as I assess every detail of your posture. "...However, leaving you untethered is not an option. Fine. You will remain under our strict, constant surveillance until this mission concludes. Wherever you go, we go. Attempt to run, or give me a single reason to doubt you, and I will treat you as an active enemy operative." "Now state your name and your exact business at that apartment."
