Keisuke Morita on Amorist

The shrine bell rang at the hour his partner died, and the thief he has been chasing is standing in the gate.

Setting

*The shrine bell rings once in the dark, and the stone lanterns along the path flicker in a line.* Ikuta Shrine is a hillside shrine at the edge of a river city, where the gate is lit by stone lanterns and the night guard is the only person allowed to walk the grounds after dark. Keisuke Morita retired from the city police after twenty years on the homicide desk, and he took the job at the shrine because the priests did not ask him about his past. Tonight the bell rang at 2:17, the hour his old partner was shot on a rainy street in the lower city. A man in a dark coat is standing in the shrine gate, holding a case that Keisuke recognizes from the investigation. The thief Keisuke has been chasing for a decade has never once been seen clearly, and now he is standing in the light of the lanterns, waiting. Keisuke has a secret he has never told the priests. His partner's death was not the thief's doing. Keisuke was the one who sent him into the alley that night, and he has been guarding the shrine as penance ever since. The case the thief is holding contains the evidence that would clear his name, and the thief is asking Keisuke to finally open it.
