The entire group sang of a chorus of, "Yes, sir."

At this point, no one was worried about waking Atsushi from his recovery nap.  After all the ruckus, he would have woke up by now if he were able to.

Yukichi looked at the bespectacled Kunikida, who was now holding a book that read "Ideals," and said, "Kunikida, you're going to stay with (Y/n) and explain the situation to both her and Atsushi when he wakes up."

"Understood."

The President turned to Dazai and said, "You're running leads from yesterday.  Find out who placed the bounty using whatever means necessary, (Y/n) will join you when the boy wakes up since this is her specialty."

"Kenji, Ranpo, and Yosano will begin looking through past incidents involving bounties and the Port Mafia.  Look at all cases with similarities to this one.  Try to focus on bounties collected through Akutagawa and his team.  Kunikida will join you when he finishes his task.

Dazai sighed and walked behind (Y/n) before slipping his arms around her shoulders and pulling her into a hug of sorts.  The actions made her stiffen and blush before she sent an elbow straight into his stomach and pushed him away from her.  

"cough--cough Sorry, (Y/n)-chan--cough-- our lunch may have to wait until a little later.  I'll find you in a few hours after I've run some leads..."

"That's fine."

"So blunt... but that blush of yours is as cute as I expected!"

Before Kunikida could throw the brunette once more,  Dazai had skipped out the door and disappeared into the hallway.

The rest of the detectives followed him out after introducing themselves once more to the girl, and eventually, it was only Kunikida and (Y/n).  Atsushi was still unconscious from yesterday's tussle.

There was an awkward silence in the room as Kunikida sat on a chair he'd brought in, and [Y/n] continued to lay in the bed.   He read his book, she watched videos on her database.

Everything was quiet.

"So, you're an ability user?"

(Y/n) paused the video she'd been watching before turning to the man and saying, "Yes."

A small bout of silence passed before he said, "What is it?"

She simply smirked and said, "It's only proper you tell me yours first.  That is proper etiquette, correct?"

The man's eyes widened before he pulled out a pen and flipped to a page in his journal and be fan mumbling, "proper... etiquette... first..."

When he was done writing he closed the book and slipped it into his vest before saying, "I apologize for my rudeness.  My ability is called Doppo Poet.  I can create items I write in my notebook, however, I can only create items the size of, or smaller than, my journal."

She made an "o" with her mouth before saying, "Mine is called Code: Execute.  I can do a lot with it actually."

"Like what?"
She leaned back the bed slightly before holding a hand and counting, "I can make codes with different purposes.  They can protect, attack, search criminal records, hack, watch videos, read books— but only e-books— I can also--"

A movement out of the corner of eye caught her attention before she stared at the white-haired boy lying in bed.  He looked as if he was having a nightmare...  She stood from her seat and placed a hand on his forehead before saying, "Code: Recovery Mode...  I can also encourage someone's brain to take a nap or to wake up.  Basically, if the mind and body are exhausted enough, my codes can send electrical messages to the brain and encourage it to sleep, or wake up."
