Summary
“No.15 Hero Nice Donates 20 Million Yuan to Bailuo Children’s Institute,” reads the latest headline, timestamped two minutes ago. Accompanying the article is a dazzling photograph of the man of the hour, perfectly windswept, smiling that vapid smile of his as he shakes hands with an elderly man in a suit.
But… Nice’s smile isn’t the shallow simulacrum of heroism he’s been wearing in recent years. And his eyes—they don’t have that glassy, dead look they usually have, these days. Instead, they sparkle in the sunlight, glittering with determination. With resolve.
The day Nice decides to end it all, another hero figures out what he plans to do. Armed with little more than a half-cocked plan and his wits, he—somewhat reluctantly—jumps to the rescue.

Summary
The paper within started off as a typed form letter, addressed simply, “Dear Citizen,” which thanked him for being willing to take on the burden of such intense personal upheaval and such thorough secrecy. Wolfwood skimmed the puffed up nonsense once he clocked that the mysterious, important work they’d be doing would stay both frustratingly mysterious and vaguely important. Further down, he found neat handwriting, the only part of the page that had been personalized.
Wolfwood, Nicholas D.

Summary
Nicholas D. Wolfwood is hardly what one would call a connoisseur of literature. As far as he’s concerned, it sorts itself nicely into three buckets: smart books, scripture, and drivel. He avoids the first on principle, finds himself unwillingly dragged through the second more often than not, and dabbles in the third if the fancy strikes.
The book that’s caught his eye presents a conundrum he wasn’t prepared to confront at 10 AM on a bright, already-roasting Tuesday morning. He’s been left unsupervised in a general store while Vash takes care of some do-gooder something or other, and his boredom had him gravitating to the rack of double-dime novels tucked in the back corner. The drivel selection is top-tier. Most of the books he can open at random and land on something both intriguingly salacious and horrendously written, and Wolfwood has spent a solid fifteen minutes gleefully paging through paperbacks with covers featuring washboard abs and heaving bosoms before he spots the book that’s going to ruin his life.

Summary
“Oh! Morning!” The proprietor, a stout old man with an impeccably trimmed silver mustache, clearly wasn't expecting a customer to barge in the instant he opened up for the day, but he folds away his shock just as quickly and offers an amicable smile. “Buying? Selling?”
“Browsing,” Wolfwood offers. It's the first word he's said all day, and it comes out burred and hesitant, nowhere near the bluster of his arrival.
“For anything in particular?” the shopkeeper asks.
Wolfwood pauses, taking in the cluttered, eclectic stacks that surround him. He's always had a soft spot for pawn shops, no matter how scuzzy. Sure, they’re desperate places, but Wolfwood can’t help imagining the story behind every item he lays eyes on. Why it was loved. Why it was worth giving up. His whole existence is the same kind of contract that keeps these places running, which is maybe why he feels so at home in them.
He clears his throat, just in case. “I’m looking for a ring.”
