Tokyo: Rabbit Officer and Her Evil Partner

Fushimi Roku remained silent for a while, without answering.

Miyazaki Shizuka did not press further. She gently expressed that the hypnotherapy needs to continue, and having Fushimi Roku present could affect the treatment's effectiveness.

"Can you heal her?" Fushimi Roku couldn't help but ask.

"I can ease her emotional knots, help her let go of the past, find a stronger sense of self, and stop wasting her life's meaning on searching for an elusive killer..."

Before Miyazaki Shizuka finished speaking, Fushimi Roku interrupted, "Then forget it, wake her up."

"Hmm?" Miyazaki Shizuka was slightly surprised.

"She probably doesn't want to resolve this emotional knot," Fushimi Roku turned his face away, not daring to meet Miyazaki Shizuka's gaze, nor to look at Minamoto Tamako: "I understand her."

"This..." Miyazaki Shizuka hesitated, not immediately agreeing.

After all, the person paying is Minamoto Tamako.

Seeing this, Fushimi Roku couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, but he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to be relaxed, smiled, and said, "I recall that the terminal care treatment is meant for me, right? Minamoto Tamako is not your client; she doesn't need treatment."

Seeing the conversation had come this far, Miyazaki Shizuka couldn't insist further.

She nodded in agreement and then instructed Fushimi Roku to step back a few steps and slightly avoid being seen, so Minamoto Tamako wouldn't be confused by unexpected presence.

Fushimi Roku complied, folding his arms and leaning against a corner, keeping his eyes fixed.

Miyazaki Shizuka approached Minamoto Tamako, leaning close to her ear and whispered:

"Now, there's a door in front of you. Push open that door, and you'll achieve your desired result..."

As her whispers continued, Minamoto Tamako's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

After a while, her breathing became even and deep, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced around the consulting room in confusion.

"You were asleep just now," Miyazaki Shizuka embraced her shoulders, soothing her emotions: "It was just a dream, none of it was real."

"Ah..."

Minamoto Tamako gradually came to her senses, she turned her head and met Fushimi Roku's gaze.

The consulting room plunged into a strange silence.

"Ahem," Fushimi Roku proactively spoke, asking, "How do you feel?"

"Different from last time..."

Minamoto Tamako spoke truthfully.

She had just had a nightmare, in which Fujimura-kun became the Heavenly Punishment killer, first killing Kawai, then deceiving her to gain her trust and infiltrating the Police Department using Kujo Yua's influence; arriving in Tokyo, Fujimura-kun conducted a massacre at Sugamo Apartment, writing the characters for Heavenly Punishment in blood on the walls; thereafter instigated the Sugamo riot, facilitating a clash between the Heavenly Punishment Group and the Police Department...

And all her actions have been aiding the villain.

For Minamoto Tamako, it was a terrifying nightmare. The slain Kawai came as a vengeful spirit to interrogate her, forcing her to think, to investigate, who is the true killer of Heavenly Punishment...

In her dream, Minamoto Tamako constantly thought, desperately investigated, each time, without exception, she would discover that the true killer of Heavenly Punishment would transform into Fujimura-kun's face.

When she confessed the truth to Fujimura-kun and attempted to capture him, he deceived her, pretended to cooperate, making her relax her vigilance.

At the critical moment, Fujimura-kun slashed her throat, pushed her onto the car seat, then jumped out to escape, disappearing into the night.

She died again and again in the dream.

Minamoto Tamako was like Sisyphus, repeatedly betrayed by Fujimura-kun, repeating that terrifying nightmare.

Now, when she opened her eyes and saw Fujimura-kun, she truly felt a bit PTSD, fearing that he might suddenly laugh maniacally, tear off a human mask saying 'I'm actually the Heavenly Punishment killer,' then pull out a sharp knife to kill both her and Miyazaki Shizuka.

Even though before closing her eyes, Minamoto Tamako was quite hopeful, wanting to share a dream with Fujimura-kun.

But after opening her eyes, she suddenly felt like Fujimura-kun was a stranger.

Fushimi Roku noticed her emotional discomfort, using his gaze to ask Miyazaki Shizuka what was happening.

The latter responded with helpless eyes, approached Fushimi Roku, and quietly conveyed that the treatment was unfinished and there might be a period of emotional low.

Fushimi Roku could not say much, since he requested to interrupt the treatment. Now that Minamoto Tamako's emotions were off, there was no one else to blame.

After the psychological consultation concluded, Miyazaki Shizuka exchanged pleasantries, and Fushimi Roku and Minamoto Tamako read the room, they got up and left of their own accord.

On the way home, neither of them spoke.

Once home, Minamoto Tamako wanted to talk to Fujimura-kun, but for some reason felt a bit awkward.

Even though she knew what happened in the dream was false and couldn't blame Fujimura-kun, she just couldn't accept it for the moment, merely being near him sparked some inexplicable fear.

To cover up her awkwardness, Minamoto Tamako busied herself, first tidying up the room, then taking a shower, checking the voicemail, only then realizing there were many missed calls.

Minamoto Tamako recalled and found the number was unfamiliar, thinking the caller might have an urgent matter, she called back using the landline.

The telephone ringing only sounded twice before the other party picked up immediately:

"Moshi moshi?"

"Moshi moshi, this is Minamoto Tamako," she asked, "Who is this?"

Abe Rokuro was very excited, not expecting Senior Tamako to actually return the call, promptly introduced himself and stated he was recommended by Senior Watanabe.

Minamoto Tamako was perplexed. Since it was a recommendation from Senior Watanabe, she couldn't just hang up, so she casually asked, "I see... What can I do for you, Mr. Abe?"
