Raito shook his head lightly. "Sorry, I won't be around when you leave, but don't worry. I'll send someone to come pick you up and take you wherever you're headed."
Aiko blinked in surprise, tilting her head. "What's gotten into you? You've never sounded this serious before."
Raito gave a faint smile, his tone calm but resolute. "Ohh Really."
Before Aiko could say another word, he turned toward the door. The moment he stepped through, his expression hardened into something cold and focused.
Aiko stood frozen for a few seconds, watching him. "He's… changed," she whispered softly. Then the door shut with a quiet click.
Raito slid his hand into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He dialed Jiro's number.
"Hey, Jiro. I need you to send your butler to my apartment. Have him pick up Aiko in your limousine and take her wherever she says she wants to go."
Jiro agreed almost instantly. "Understood. I'll have him there right away."
