"Mr. Ronald."
"Have you...found what you're looking for?"
Standing at the intersection of Black Pine Street.
Oak, next to Ronald, cautiously asked.
This agent is unaware of Ronald's true purpose for this trip; his question is largely to ascertain if he can finish work on time today.
After all, see the distant sky—
Though the night is still shrouded in darkness, Oak's experience with night work tells him that in about two hours, the first hint of dawn will appear on the horizon.
But if Ronald's matters aren't concluded...
Then Oak fears not only will he be unable to finish on time, he will likely have to follow this powerful Caster into the morning, losing precious sleep!
The thought unsettles Oak.
Yet that's how agent work is; the unpredictability is something no one can anticipate. If these troubles can't be avoided in advance, subsequent headaches will surely follow persistently.
"..."
"Unfortunately, I indeed have not found what I'm looking for this time around."
