Drew My Dad...

After drawing that case file, Mizunashi Rena's expression changed.

Because what she had drawn was—

"Dad?!"

Looking at the all-too-familiar date and location of the crime marked on the case file's cover, she knew without even opening it:

Inside was her father Ethan Hondo's death record.
