Last he recalled, the man was in his shop when they took him away from this place. ... And unfortunately, because he had locked up, it seems that he had left the key somewhere within his store. So, now that he was back within Hive City... he was locked out of his own shop.
Naturally, there were ways to avert this. But... he had no idea how to pick a lock. Why would he? And he didn’t want to hire a locksmith on his first day returning to this place. He wanted to get inside as soon as possible, in order to see how both his home and store had been faring during his time away. So... there was no other option.
He had to break in.
Having moved into the alley besides his shop, to one of the windows that circled the building, Rinnosuke raised his arm up, brick in hand, ready to throw, and... paused.
“... Ah.”
“Er... if it isn’t Ibarakasen.”
