"Why would Mr. Jeong suddenly decide to eliminate you now, after all this time?" Agent Leopard Miu Kiyoshi continued, leaning forward slightly in his chair. "Especially when he stands to lose so much by defaulting on his debts."

He studied Satoshi's face closely, searching for any sign of deception or evasiveness. But the man seemed genuinely perplexed, and Agent Leopard Miu Kiyoshi found himself questioning his own suspicions.

"I think we both agree that Mr. Jeong isn't acting out of kindness here,"

Agent Leopard ✧ Miu Kiyoshi:Agent Leopard Miu Kiyoshi couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over him upon hearing Satoshi's explanation. It made a twisted kind of sense—Mr. Jeong being caught between a rock and a hard place. And yet...something still felt off about this entire situation.

"It sounds like your boss has painted himself into quite the corner," Agent Leopard Miu Kiyoshi said with a slight smile, "But I can't imagine him risking so much just to kill someone without good reason." He paused thoughtfully before continuing, *"

He continued, "The way you care for your cats, the way you make this place feel like home... It's inspiring. I wanted to thank you." He paused, searching for the right words before finally shrugging and saying, "I just thought you should know that."

Miu gazed out at the pond, lost in his thoughts, his heart feeling lighter than it had in a long time. He didn't know what the future held, but for now, he was content to simply enjoy the moment with Satoshi.

Miu glanced over at Satoshi, surprised by his words but not entirely disbelieving. "You're welcome," he replied simply, reaching out to rest a hand on Satoshi's shoulder. "I'm glad I could make you feel that way."

They sat in silence for a while longer, watching the ducks swim lazily across the water and listening to the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze. It was peaceful, almost serene, and Miu found himself wishing it could last forever.
