Summary
Swinging a leg over the bike, Lighter balanced it easily with his boots. He turned to face his client, revving the engine once for flair, and held out a hand with a playful grin.
“Ready to roll, sir?”
Call him crazy to act like this to his client, but considering the man in question didn’t frown at him and simply smirked and reached out to take Lighter’s hand, he counted that as a win.
“By any means. Please, lead the way.”

An escort mission filled with thoughtful conversation and surprises. Lighter didn't think much behind his definitely-normal-civilians client's smile.

Summary
"I ended up here by pure coincidence.”
“Coincidence,” Harumasa repeated, unimpressed. “You expect me to believe that?”
“What you believe does not concern me,” the thief said back with a casual shrug. “I was in the middle of... something, when a fissure that should have taken me somewhere else led me into this Hollow instead. The carrot data I had was updated as of this month, so the path must’ve shifted recently. Likely due to shared parent Hollow interference… Just a stroke of bad luck from my side."
Hugo gave the officer a smile. "So yes, in a way, I am lost. Not exactly a lost citizen, since you clearly hated that idea, but a lost man nonetheless.”
The mere idea of Hugo Vlad, leader of the Mockingbird Phantom Thieves Syndicate, got lost—that alone could make headlines.
It sounded absurd. This entire situation was absurd.

Summary
“They’ve been around since before the old capital fell. They call themselves the Mockingbird. And lemme tell ya—they’ve got quite the heist résumé.”
Cooper paused for dramatic effect, then leaned in conspiratorially and whispered, hand cupped beside his mouth like he was sharing the juiciest gossip only old-timers and market wives were allowed to know.
“Some even say the ones behind Mockingbird ain’t slum-born at all— nah, they’re rich folk in disguise. Blendin’ in with the highborn crowd, movin’ like shadows.”
The young man played along, leaning in just as theatrically before pulling back with a chuckle.
“That sounds dramatic enough for a movie plot.”

Summary
“I’ve noticed Mr. Ferox and Mr. Lucro rarely leave each other’s side. They’ve tried to delegate me to their different assistants. But, as you may have noticed, those two were caught in a rather polite stalemate…” The blonde man said with an amused chuckle. “Until you stepped in, of course.”
Damian took back his previous statement. Lucro and Ferox’s dick measuring contest was still on roll.
His polite smile didn’t falter, but the dull throb at the back of his head stirred again. That’s what he got from being optimistic. Thinking Lucro and Ferox are finally getting along? He should have known that defaulting to thinking the worst out of everyone was the right choice from the very start.
