Summary
Sako Atsuhiro hadn’t just broken the silence of Tobita’s empty agency—he’d shattered it like glass under black-splashed boots and a gleaming cane. Tobita had been painting his office upon Sako’s arrival; he was almost ashamed of his plum-smeared appearance compared to the put-together visitor. Yet, the newcomer’s face revealed no judgement—just an expressionless mask of pearl white, lined in inky black.
He went by “Mr. Compress”: an older sidekick seeking work in an industry that favored the young. Even so, he’d urged Tobita not to let his weak resume define him. “I promise, Earl Grey,” he’d said, whimsy in every word, “I will be the finest sidekick you could possibly imagine.”
(On a test mission with a dapper prospective sidekick, pro hero Earl Grey learns why some magicians never reveal their secrets.)
