Dedicated to—

Detective Sekiguchi,
who taught me what it was to be an honorable man. I’m trying.

My father,
who has always been my hero and who taught me to stand up
for what’s right.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
for protecting me and my friends and family, and for their constant
efforts to keep the forces of darkness in check.

Those whom I loved and who have left and will not return.
You are missed and remembered.
