[ izō returns to the detective agency late because he's not sure if he's going back to an empty place or who had walked off earlier, and he wasn't sure what would feel worse. it's not like he's needed there anyway; he's not going to show up with answers miraculously. so he goes drinking instead because at least then he knows it'll stop hurting eventually.
that's when he heads home — while he's still on a high note — and how he finds things back home will ideally feel less unpleasant in whatever way they appear. go home, get upstairs as unobtrusively as possible, and try not to think too hard about the fact that he's going to sleep in his own bed for the first time in a while. it's fine. that's the plan.
he's already failed one-third of this plan because he had a hard time getting the door unlocked, which was noisy, but he's sure everything will work out now. probably. ]
