It was hard to get a taxi at this hour. When Haga Kyosuke came, he had not expected to leave so soon. Now, staring at the pitch-black road, he froze belatedly.
—He was used to driving. This time, he had taken a police car from the Shitara Family residence to the Metropolitan Police Department, then caught a taxi straight to Theater Island... His car was still at the Shitara Family residence, while the taxi that had brought him here was already gone.
"..."
After considering the distance from here to the cemetery, Haga Kyosuke realized that by the time he walked there, it would probably be dark again the next day. He could only put his plan on hold, silently take out his phone, and call his agent. "I'm by the shore on Theater Island. Can you send a car to pick me up?"
"You're at the seaside?!" The agent had also seen the news and had long suspected the true culprit whose identity had not been released. He had made countless calls today, all of which had gone unanswered, and had thought his musical genius had surely died in some corner somewhere. Now, suddenly hearing a living person on the phone, he was overjoyed. "I'm coming right away!"
Without even calling for a driver, he dashed downstairs, jumped into the garage, and floored the accelerator as he shot off.
—He had just signed two movie opening themes. If he got there too late and Haga Kyosuke wandered along the shore for a while before suddenly deciding it would be better to jump in... they would be finished!
"Don't die!" The agent seemed to ignite along with his engine, speeding toward the outskirts like a Super Saiyan. "At least finish writing the songs you signed on for first!!"
