Despite his natural aversion to social contact, Ryoma can't help but be taken in by Haruto’s charms. The duo later reunite unexpectedly, and Ryoma begins to sense that Haruto’s unique talents could help him solve difficult criminal cases. They start to work together, but as their professional collaboration begins, Ryoma finds himself irresistibly drawn to Haruto. Could love help Ryoma end his anxiety – or will it prove toxic?
