"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" June exclaimed, already feeling frustrated. 

"Oh, I just missed you a lot," Haruto answered. "I wanted to tell it right away but couldn't because I was too excited." 

June massaged the bridge of his nose. "Well? Aren't you going to say it to me now?" 

"Right," Haruto chuckled. "I almost forgot again!"

June pursed his lips. "Make it quick," he instructed. 

"Yes, yes," Haruto responded. 

"Anyway, ever since I found out that you were looking for the head of Phoenix, I started my thorough research." 

"I barely slept these past few weeks because I was so engrossed in the case. It seems like it runs deeper than I had expected." 

"Phoenix is a company that started back in the 1970s. It was started by a single man who had a passion for singing but couldn't pursue it due to practicality reasons."
