It's the middle of a spring day, the sun shining high in the sky of Yokohama City, painting the ground and architecture with brilliant light. It's a beautiful day—very few clouds obscuring the sky, and the temperature is neither too blisteringly hot, nor is it too unbearably cold. Today is the off day of the strongest Gifted military unit in the Japanese Military Police, the Hunting Dogs, and as such, everyone has been left to their own devices.

Of course, this included Tetchou. However, as anyone could easily tell, his hobbies were a bit... unorthodox. Right now, he was knelt down on the pavement, intently watching a colony of ants carry crumbs of food back towards an anthill in the garden adjacent to the Hunting Dogs' headquarters, and it was evident he'd been there for quite a while now, thoroughly immersed in observing the lives and routines of the small insects.
