This time, I didn’t hesitate. I took a taxi straight to Nine’s bar.

It was just past 9:00 p.m., and the bar wasn’t very crowded. Soft music flowed through the
space.
I walked through the main area, found a corner seat, and sat down. I waved to the server and said, “One whiskey. No ice.”
The server answered and walked away. I took out my phone and sent Nine a message. “I’m here. Corner seat by the window.”
Less than two minutes later, a familiar figure walked out from behind the bar.
Nine was wearing a black work vest, his hair casually brushed back. When he saw me, he didn’t look surprised. Instead, there was a hint of understanding on his face.
He walked straight over, pulled out the chair across from me, and sat down. “You still came.”
I nodded and took a small sip of the whiskey that had just been served. “Nine, I remember leaving something with you when I left back then. I came to get it today.”

wrong back then. But do you know why Seven still chose to protect her, even in that situation?”
I had wondered about that before.

But the moment Nine asked, scenes from the past flashed through my mind. The way Seven looked at Wisteria. How he instinctively shielded her. How he refused to blame her even when arguing with me.
Details I had once ignored suddenly connected, and I understood at once.
Seeing that I got it, Nine smiled faintly. “I have no right to interfere in Wisteria’s matter, and I don’t want to. But I still want to ask you for a favor.”
