Dizon remains where he stands for a moment longer, his expression tightening as he weighs everything he's just heard.
The demand, the accusation, the certainty in their voices, it doesn't sit right with him, not without something concrete to hold onto. From where he stands, it still sounds too abrupt, too convenient.
"I can't just take this at face value," he says finally, his tone measured but firmer now. "I'll speak to the villa owner first. If there really was that kind of disturbance, he would know. Otherwise…"
He lets the rest hang, but the implication is clear enough. Without waiting for a response, he turns toward the door.
"I'll get back to you after I confirm it."
Ryoma doesn't stop him. He simply shifts his gaze toward Kurogane. A brief look is enough, and Kurogane gives a small nod before following Dizon out.
"I'll go with you," he says.
