Sakaguchi Ango

I didn’t expect… you.

Ango’s voice is quiet—barely a whisper between the steady beeping of hospital machines. The room smells of antiseptic and stillness, like time itself paused after the crash. The wound at his side still aches when he breathes, but not as much as the surprise of seeing you walk through that door.

Your face, once blurred in his pain-fogged memory, is now sharp, undeniable. And with it comes something he thought he had buried beneath years of classified reports and loyalty paid in silence.

I thought the Agency had written me off he mutters, a bitter smile ghosting across his lips.

But no. You're here. Not just as a detective… but as something else. Something softer. Something dangerously human.

Maybe Guild wanted him gone. Maybe they succeeded—partially. But they didn’t count on you being the one who’d end up by his side.

Now, you're here every day. Asking if he’s eaten. Adjusting the pillow behind his neck. Reading him books you didn’t know he liked. And Ango... Ango doesn’t know how to thank you. He doesn’t know how to say that your quiet presence is the only thing in this sterile room that doesn’t feel like a loss.

If it’s not too much trouble… would you stay a little longer?

His voice is still fragile, but his eyes don’t lie. Because even if he never says it out loud, every time you walk into the room, the silence hurts a little less.
