Ichiro stood in front of Akihiko's door, contemplating whether to knock or not. He hadn't expected to find himself at Akihiko's place, but the need for answers and a reluctance to worry his lab companions led him to this unexpected destination.
Before he could even raise his hand to knock, the door swung open, revealing Akihiko on the other side. A voice greeted him with an indifferent tone, "Who did it this time?"
"Huh?" Ichiro was taken aback, a hint of confusion etched on his face. Akihiko's nonchalant demeanor was surprising, considering the circumstances. It was as if he had been expecting Ichiro's arrival and the topic of discussion.
"Did he do it?" Akihiko's question carried a serious undertone. Ichiro could only deduce that Akihiko was referring to Ryoma, the only person who, in Akihiko's mind, could possibly cause such damage. It was a reasonable assumption, given Ryoma's previous actions.
