I suppose this is where I take my leave. Good luck, Hakuba-san.
“And to you, Kirigiri-san. Again, please do not hesitate to call me if you come across anything.”
Hakuba stepped away from the fireplace, hands returning to his sides. “It was a pleasure to meet you, and I appreciate your joining me for tea. I do hope that we can resolve this matter soon. Please allow me to see you out.”
