Running out of the elevator and quickly passing through the security gates of Marline's building, Utagawa Takao quickly found himself outside the building and in the square facing the main entrance.
Ignoring the curious looks of the employees and other passers-by surprised to see a man coming out so quickly, he looked for the man he had to stop at all costs.
Seen from behind, all the men looked the same: the same head of hair properly combed even after 9 to 10 hours of hard work; dark suits, with or without their jackets, the latter sometimes thrown carelessly over their shoulders. Only the women brought a little color into this dull, broken world.
However, even in this standardized crowd, the tall man with the unnaturally disheveled hair on top of his head stood out; so the young man managed to run up to him and catch up with him effortlessly.
"Chief Kobayashi!" Takao called out as he grabbed the man with his back turned by his shoulder.
